Abstract
The German Pharmacoepidemiological Research Database (GePaRD) is an administrative database based on claims data from statutory health insurance providers in Germany. It was set up for research on the utilization and safety of drugs and vaccines in the real-world setting, but is also used for other purposes such as the utilization of screening tests.
