Register here.    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Sentinel Initiative is hosting the 2022 Sentinel Innovation Day and Public Training virtually on April 28 and 29, 2022. Participants can attend one or both events, and should register for each event separately. A recording of the training and all related materials will be posted to the Sentinel website after the events.  Innovation Day: On April 28, the Sentinel Innovation Center will focus on challenges and opportunities in integrating electronic health record-based data in common data models, computable phenotyping to aid medical product safety investigations, advanced analytic approaches to improve confounding adjustments in Sentinel investigations, and a causal inference framework for Sentinel. 13th Annual Sentinel Public Training: On April 29, the Sentinel Operations Center will focus on Inverse Probability of Treatment Weighting (IPTW), an analytic method that can reduce confounding bias in observational studies of medical treatments. Investigators from the Sentinel Operations Center will discuss the opportunities presented by inverse probability weighting, the new IPTW tool within the Sentinel Routine Querying System, and how researchers can conduct analyses of routinely collected electronic health data in the Sentinel Common Data Model format. The Sentinel System is a national electronic system for medical product safety surveillance. Mandated by the FDA Amendments Act, the Sentinel Initiative established the system in collaboration with public, academic, and private entities, as a method to obtain access to disparate data sources and validate methods to establish a system to link and analyze safety data from multiple sources. Sentinel has the largest multisite distributed database in the world dedicated to medical product safety.
