ENGLISH SUMMARY
Research in pharmacoepidemiology in lceland
Johannsson M, Haraldsdottir S
Pharmacoepidemiology is a rapidly growing discipline that is useful
in studies on effects and adverse effects of drugs. During past years
and decades databases have been built in lceland that are becoming
powerful tools for this kind of research. The databases are, however
only useful for pharmacoepidemiological research if they include
personal identification and can be merged. The personal identification
should be without time limits because in many cases we are interested
in what happened years or decades ago. The prescriptions database
was started in 2002 and has dramatically changed the possibilities
for pharmacoepidemiological studies in lceland. The main aim of this
review is to give an overview of the existing databases in lceland and to
encourage research in this important field.
Key words: pharmacoepidemiology, research, databases, drugs.
