Description

<p>In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of database studies within the healthcare sector. This upsurge can be attributed to various factors such as the revision of related laws and regulations, widespread adoption of data sharing practices, proliferation of available data sources, digitization and standardization of historically collected data, advancements in digital technology, and the steady promotion of evidence-based medicine and policymaking. In Japan, database studies encompass a broad spectrum of areas, including research based on administrative-claims databases, disease registries, cohort studies, and electronic medical records. This review focuses on the current status and trends in database studies in Japan. An analysis of data of five years (2018–2022) retrieved from PubMed, provided further evidence for the growing prominence of database research in Japan. This surge is likely linked to the expansion of the available databases. Database studies can yield new insights into areas such as patient assessment and the decision-making processes in medical care, health services, and policy formulation. There is a growing expectation that database studies will continue to provide reliable evidence in the future.</p>
