2. Description
EPID Research is a scientific contract research organisation providing Real-World Evidence (RWE) studies. EPID Research is a fully owned subsidiary of StatFinn, and both companies are fully owned by IQVIA Ltd. We specialize in high quality pharmacoepidemiological research. We utilize Real-World Data from various health registries with patient-level information on drug prescriptions, diagnoses, treatments and outcomes. We provide for example feasibility studies, post-authorization safety studies, drug utilization studies and relative effectiveness studies. Our methodology combines clinical, pharmacological, epidemiological and statistical knowledge.
