Institution description
Bordeaux PharmacoEpi is a research platform of the University of Bordeaux, created in 2002, that relies on a permanent team of nearly 20 people, a network of clinical experts who can be mobilised in many disciplines, and internationally renowned research centres. The BPE carries out studies evaluating the benefits and risks associated with the use of drugs and health technologies in real-world settings in order to meet the health needs of populations at the national and international level. The BPE has conducted nearly a hundred studies using different methodological designs (cross-sectional, cohort, case-control studies, self-controlled designs...) in multiple therapeutic areas. Studies include safety, effectiveness, drug utilisation, economics... mostly in the context of PASS or PAES, concerning medication, devices or other health interventions. As a data provider, BPE has developed strong expertise in the nationwide French claims database, the SNDS (Système National des Données de Santé), with over 20 years of experience in analysing health data in a secure and certified IT environment. The BPE is involved in numerous collaborations with international institutions, is part of European research consortia, and organises the yearly Bordeaux PharmacoEpi Festival.
