ISPOR Releases Guidance on Reproducibility of Real-World Evidence Research
October 28, 2022
ISPOR has published a news guidance on using real-world evidence to determine efficacy and make healthcare decisions. The guidance puts forward a framework to address issues of data provenance, utilization, and analysis for researchers to follow in order to ensure reproducibility. This framework was designed in collaboration with the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE).
According to ISPOR, “The HARmonized Protocol Template to Enhance Reproducibility (HARPER) helps to create a shared understanding of intended scientific decisions through a common text, tabular and visual structure. The template provides a set of core recommendations for clear and reproducible RWE study protocols and is intended to be used as a backbone throughout the research process from developing a valid study protocol, to registration, through implementation and reporting on those
implementation decisions.”
