THIN®, one of Europe’s largest healthcare databases, with
real-world longitudinal data on 69 million anonymized patients,
arrives in Italy
The current pandemic
has highlighted the
importance of real-time access to
extensive, regularly
updated, precise and usable
real-world data
in responding
quickly and effectively to the emergency.
Cegedim Group
(EURONEXT: CGM), a
technology and services
group specialised
in digital data
management in healthcare, has made its
THIN® (The Health Improvement
Network) database available in Italy.
With the Italian data,
THIN® now
includes the anonymized health
records of an
unprecedented 69 million
patients, or over 490 million
patient-years. This data will benefit
medical and scientific research
and innovation,
and is available to all
health sector players.
Milan, July
6, 2021 – The
THIN® (The Health
Improvement Network) database was created to broaden
scientific knowledge, foster more timely diagnoses, improve
treatment pathways, support research into new drugs, and provide
healthcare systems with valuable information for public health
policy planning based on real-world evidence. Now a major
European real-world database
recognised for its statistical robustness,
THIN® is used
by the health authorities
of several European countries and
cited in over 1,600 indexed international scientific
publications. Today, THIN® expands into Italy, enhancing
its relevance with Italian data from the
outpatient software of a panel of
GPs. This ever-growing panel is already
representative at national and macro-regional levels with
over 900,000 patients monitored, an
average history of 12.6 years, and
a total of 11.4 million
patient-years. The THIN® European
database now boasts an exceptional 69 million medical
records and a total of 490 million
patient-years, with data available for scientific research
and all health ecosystem players.
THIN® is an unobtrusive medical data collection
scheme that assembles anonymized patient data from the management
software of GPs and specialists. THIN® uses
a common European data
model which makes the collected information
easy to compare.
It can be queried via
advanced real-time
insight and evidence web
platforms to improve the medical-scientific knowledge of
health authorities, universities, research centres, medical and
scientific organizations and pharmaceutical companies.
Gilles Paubert, Global
Head of Cegedim Health Data, comments: "The coronavirus pandemic
has made very clear how crucial it is for healthcare professionals
to have access to constantly updated real-world data in order to
monitor the evolution of the disease in patients. Our goal is to
provide public institutions, clinicians and pharmaceutical
companies with robust, accurate information to address emergencies
and make increasingly informed public health decisions, now and in
the near future".
Pasquale Palladino,
Cegedim Italia Country Manager, adds: "We are proud and honoured to
be able to make our anonymized data, know-how and analysis
platforms available to healthcare stakeholders, especially since
the pandemic has dramatically highlighted the need for a
technological and digital transformation of healthcare
systems—particularly in Italy. Cegedim Group is the specialist in
coded and structured data collection and analysis. Our data is
secure, robust, precise and near real-time to enable in-depth
understanding, factual decision-making and rapid action. With our
data, we hope we can facilitate a better understanding of
diagnostic and therapeutic pathways and consequently improve
patient management and care”.
Elena Zanzottera
Ferrari, Operations Director of Cegedim Italia, concludes: "The
THIN® project is the fruit of the efforts of an international team
with great knowledge of the sector, supported by a highly
technological and innovative group like Cegedim. Its strength lies
in the fact that it is a multi-country database of anonymized
patient data, based on an easy-to-consult 'common data model' and a
web platform that enables interaction between all operators in the
sector".
The THIN®
project also has an
Advisory Board composed of physicians, academics,
epidemiologists, data scientists, and members of patient
associations, and includes representatives of the Italian
scientific community. The Advisory Board ensures that the database
is used in the public’s best interests in order to maximise its
research value whilst protecting the rights of its data subjects.
The Advisory Board may authorise health institutions and
research centres to use THIN® data for
studies of purely
scientific value, free of
charge.
