Physician-Patient Communication about Novel Drugs and High-Risk Medical Devices.
Med Decis Making
February 2025
University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine, San Francisco, CA, USA.
Background: After a new drug or medical device is approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), physician-patient communication about benefits and risks is critical, including whether the product was approved through an expedited pathway based on limited evidence. In addition, physician reporting of drug- and device-related adverse events in real-world use is necessary to have a complete safety profile. We studied physician-reported communication and safety-reporting practices related to drugs and devices.
