Estimated percentage of the population covered by the data source in the catchment area

wMRs contains about 250 different drug/therapeutic indication pairs. Each registry is designed to include and adopt as much as possibile of the elegibility criteria reported in the pivotal clinical trial(s). Moreover, inclusion in the registry is mandatory for the monitored drug/therapeutic indication pair for the treatment to be reimbursed by the Italian National Health Service. Therefore, our estimates of capture, during the active period of the registry, is close (and in some cases up) to 100% of the treated population. 100%.

Description of the population covered by the data source in the catchment area whose data are not collected (e.g., people who are registered only for private care)

AIFA wMRs are not patient registries. They are drug registries whose compilation is necessary for the access to the reimbursment by the Italian Health Service of some drugs in specific therapeutic indications. In these sense, AIFA wMRs Platform does not automatically link with other databases so there are not information other than those collected in each registry.
