Paper: Challenges and Opportunities in Utilizing National and International Registries to Enhance Medical Product Evaluation

National and international registries provide real world evidence and are playing more and more important roles in enhancing the safety and effectiveness evaluations of medical products. While these registries provide a huge amount of data reflecting real world practice and potentially reduce the cost of clinical trials, challenges arise concerning how to use the data to draw reliable statistical inferences. This presentation will focus on developing innovative analytics - prospectively designing pre-market clinical studies utilizing such registries with propensity score methodology for objective statistical inference.
