Hello, I have a conflict of interest as an employee of Truveta and therefore will not edit the article directly. I am requesting an independent editor’s review.
I propose adding a brief, neutral sentence noting that real-world data derived from large-scale electronic health records have been used in multiple peer-reviewed studies to examine disease trends, treatment outcomes, and medication-use patterns in the United States. This is consistent with the existing description of RWD sources and uses in healthcare and does not emphasize any specific product or organization.
Proposed sentence:
Large, de-identified electronic health record datasets in the United States—such as those aggregated from multiple health systems contributing data to Truveta—have been used in peer-reviewed research to evaluate COVID-19 vaccine breakthrough infections,[1] trends in syphilis incidence,[2] medication-use patterns such as oral minoxidil prescribing,[3] and discontinuation and reinitiation of GLP-1 receptor agonists used for obesity and diabetes.[4]
I suggest placing this sentence at the end of the paragraph in the "Real world data in healthcare" section describing the sources of RWD (EHRs, claims, registries, etc.) and their applications in observational research.
Thank you for your consideration.
