A Computable Phenotype Algorithm for Postvaccination Myocarditis/Pericarditis Detection Using Real-World Data: Validation Study.

Background: Adverse events (AEs) associated with vaccination have traditionally been evaluated by epidemiological studies. More recently, they have gained attention due to the emergency use authorization of several COVID-19 vaccines. As part of its responsibility to conduct postmarket surveillance, the US Food and Drug Administration continues to monitor several AEs of interest to ensure the safety of vaccines, including those for COVID-19.

Data quality and timeliness analysis for post-vaccination adverse event cases reported through healthcare data exchange to FDA BEST pilot platform.

Introduction: This study is part of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s Biologics Effectiveness and Safety (BEST) initiative, which aims to improve the FDA's postmarket surveillance capabilities by using real-world data (RWD).

Development of Interoperable Computable Phenotype Algorithms for Adverse Events of Special Interest to Be Used for Biologics Safety Surveillance: Validation Study.

Background: Adverse events associated with vaccination have been evaluated by epidemiological studies and more recently have gained additional attention with the emergency use authorization of several COVID-19 vaccines. As part of its responsibility to conduct postmarket surveillance, the US Food and Drug Administration continues to monitor several adverse events of special interest (AESIs) to ensure vaccine safety, including for COVID-19.

Objective: This study is part of the Biologics Effectiveness and Safety Initiative, which aims to improve the Food and Drug Administration's postmarket surveillance capabilities while minimizing public burden.
