Database characterisation and assessment

We developed database characterisation procedures, for detailed assessment of the content of the electronic health database.

The detailed characterization of input files demonstrated to be a good system for harmonisation and benchmarking and is crucial to assess feasibility of data sources to participate in network studies on specific questions. These processes are currently further defined and elaborated and will be proposed for scientific qualification by EMAThe fingerprinting of input files demonstrated to be a good system for harmonisation and benchmarking and it is crucial to assess feasibility of data sources to participate in network studies on specific questions.
