15. Data analysis plan
Please provide a brief summary of the analysis method
The analyses will be descriptive in nature, performed annually for 3 years, and use counts and percentages for categorical variables and means with standard deviations for continuous variables. Analyses will be performed both for annual and cumulative study periods separately per database and country. Once multiple years of data are available, trends over time will also be reported. In case the number of patients is very low in one country for the annual analysis (threshold: n < 30), especially in the first year after launch, a possible option will be to postpone the respective country analysis to the subsequent year and combine two observational periods. In addition, the aggregated number of patients with the correct indication or with pre-existing contraindications as well as potential off-label use will be presented for all countries.
