Great day today! Paper by @anschaf on multi-medicine use in patients with CVD is out. Not surprisingly it’s very common, check out the visualisations breaking down the combinations used. Also had my 50th paper accepted - celebrate the wins! Medicines Intelligence CRE doi.org/10.1002/phar.2…

Can real-world data address an evidence gap where there are zero RCTs available? So proud of our paper comparing outcomes of different endograft devices for AAA repair. Editors choice! UNSW Centre for Big Data Research in Health Medicines Intelligence CRE doi.org/10.1016/j.ejvs…

Low persistence to 4 groups of cardiovascular medicines in 3 years, but high adherence while people are on therapy. Cardiovascular multi-medicine use is common (>31%) but does not appear to impair persistence and adherence to therapy. doi.org/10.1161/JAHA.1… Medicines Intelligence CRE

Congratulations to Medicines Intelligence CRE researchers on the first study published using the MedIntel Data Platform. They examined how use of highly effective diabetes medicines (SGLT2is and GLP-1RAs) varied across geographic areas of NSW …ubs.pericles-prod.literatumonline.com/doi/10.1111/do… 🧵1/4

Over 1M Australians are living with T2DM, but it is heart and kidney disease that are the major causes of death and sickness. There are diabetes medicines available that can also protect their hearts and kidneys, and potentially save lives, but many are missing out. đź§µ1/4
