Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics are much closely related fields in terms of research and application of real-world data. Therefore, moving toward collaboration and networking would be advantageous for students from both parties in terms of learning and understanding how to use pharmacoepidemiologic data to pharmacoeconomic assessments as well as how to employ pharmacoeconomic evaluations in real-world evidence and practice. This webinar is aimed towards students, trainees, young professionals and researchers interested in pharmacoepidemiology & pharmacoeconomics research. Objectives 1. To increase the understanding of how pharmacoepidemiology data can be used in pharmacoeconomic evaluations 2. To understand how pharmacoeconomic evaluations can be used or incorporated into pharmacoepidemiology studies and real-world evidences 3. To make an aware on how pharmacoepidemiology and pharmacoeconomics can make its best use among those researchers involved in both areas or interested parties

SISPE Webinar Series - Overview of negative control approaches and its use as empirical calibration for confidence intervals and p-value This webinar will discuss negative control approaches in pharmacoepidemiologic research. The speaker will introduce the basic concept and discuss key challenges & potential solutions of negative control approach in pharmacoepidemiologic studies. The content will cover the overview of negative control approach, selection of an appropriate negative control, using negative control to calibrate confidence intervals and p-values, accounting for the random and systematic error, examples of applying negative control approach. This webinar is aimed towards students, trainees, young professionals, anyone interested in methodology and pharmacoepidemiologic research.

Deprescribing, the clinically supervised process of tapering or stopping medications with the goal of minimizing inappropriate medication use and improving patient outcomes, has gained significant attention in the last decade. While deprescribing has been mostly used as a solution to address inappropriate medication use and polypharmacy in older adults, there is growing evidence of its utility throughout the lifespan. In addition, finding the appropriate methodological approach in evaluating the impact of deprescribing interventions on health-related outcomes is a topic of interest for clinicians and pharmacoepidemiologists all around the world. Existing Deprescribing Networks (Canadian Deprescribing Network- CaDeN, US Deprescribing Research Network- USDeN, Australian Deprescribing Network- ADeN, or the Network of European Researchers in Deprescribing - NERD) provide valuable resources for clinicians and researchers. Some of these networks provide useful clinical tools, such as evidence-based guidance for implementing deprescribing protocols in clinical practice, while others focus on researchers, offering training opportunities, pilot funding, and tools for conducting research. The evidence to support deprescribing efforts is based on research showing a wide variety of negative health effects of inappropriate medications and polypharmacy, as well as randomized trials testing the efficacy and/or effectiveness of deprescribing interventions on reducing the use of targeted medications. However, clinical studies of medication withdrawal are limited due to challenges in recruitment and retention of participants, as well as limited power to study clinical outcomes and often limited measures of patient-centered outcomes that matter for patients and their caregivers. Co-sponsored by the US Deprescribing Research Network (USDeN) and Australian Deprescribing Network (ADeN).

Background: COVID-19, the disease caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, is milder in children than in adults. Infected children and adolescents are at lower risk of hospitalization or experiencing severe morbidity or mortality than adults, especially the elderly. However, there are many unanswered questions regarding the overall impact of COVID-19 in children that require further inquiry and discussion, some of which will be addressed in this forum. These include short-and long-term outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children, as well as the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics. The impact of pediatric infection on contacts of affected children, both at school and at home, will be discussed. Public health and public policy considerations will be explored. Future directions for mitigating the impacts of COVID-19 in children will be considered. Objectives: In this International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology Conference, the objectives are to 1) discuss the multiple facets of SARS-CoV-2 infection in children; 2) discuss the strengths and limitations of the current approach to management of COVID-19, from both a clinical and societal viewpoint; and 3) identify areas where additional research is needed.
