Popis: Background/Aims In 2011, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) created the Blood Safety Continuous Active-Surveillance Network (Blood-SCAN), the first nationwide active surveillance system for monitoring the safety of FDA-regulated blood components and blood-derived products. Blood-SCAN employs the Mini-Sentinel Distributed Database (MSDD) which contains 126 million individuals within 17 Data Partners. Blood-SCAN is intended to augment the existing safety surveillance system and improve US biovigilance efforts. As a first step in creating Blood-SCAN, we assessed the feasibility of using the current MSDD to evaluate blood component and blood-derived product exposures and related health outcomes.
