Study description

This study aims to assess whether the use of Cervarix® is associated with a modified risk of central demyelination, type 1 diabetes (DT1), Cutaneous Lupus, inflammatory arthritis, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), Lupus erythematosus, myositis and dermatomyositis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and/or Autoimmune thyroiditis and Graves disease by using the PGRx information system.PGRx is an information system that intends to bridge the resource gap to assess the effect of a drug on the risk of adverse events that are infrequent and/or with a long delay of onset. It uses some characteristics of the ad hoc case-control or case-referent design, transposed on a prospective, on-going, population-based recruitment plan. This particular design is called here systematic case-referent design in contrast to the ad hoc case-control or case-referent methodology. The PGRx information system is based on the routine and targeted recruitment of cases of a series of pathologies, compared to population-based referents for the study of exposure to a wide variety of drugs. Drug exposure ascertainment is obtained from two different sources in the PGRx system:A) A structured patient interview (telephone-administered questionnaire)B) The medical data form with the computerized medical prescriptions (interview guide)
