Analyzing Patient-Level Data to Provide Invaluable Insights on Actual Treatment Patterns and the "Why" Behind Treatment Decisions and Therapy Choices

ChartTrends are syndicated report series designed to compare what physicians self-report about disease management to what actually occurs at the patient level. Through an in-depth review of specific patient charts, details such as product initiation, switching, concomitant medications and a host of laboratory test and patient demographic variables help define patient types and identify therapy triggers.

Scope:

• Detailed analysis of patient-level data including patient characteristics,  product initiation, switching, concomitant medications and laboratory values
• U.S.- and EU coverage
• Fielded annually
• 200+ physicians provide chart data for 1000+ patients

Sample Questions ChartTrends Series Can Help Answer:

• What are the patient characteristics and co-morbidities of patients with this disease?
• What is the length of time from diagnosis to therapy initiation and how has this changed over time?
• What is the line of therapy for each brand?
• What is the patient characterization for each brand?
• Why was the current brand chosen for this patient?
• What is the length of time on therapy for each brand? How long do physicians wait before switching patients to an alternative agent?
• For each brand, what are the rates and reasons for switches to and from the product?
• To what degree was the patient involvement in brand selection?
• What percent of each brand is "at risk"? If newer agents were available, would physicians be likely to switch?
• How do certain physician attitudes and demograohics and patient characteristics impact prescribing patterns?
