Course Description
The EULAR RODS (Registers and Observational Drug Studies) meeting has a
tradition that extends back many years and has been enthusiastically received
by participants over the years. This
meeting aims to provide insights into practical and methodological aspects of
registers and drug observational studies, data handling and analysis, promoting
and facilitating collaborative work through a series of interactive lectures, debates,
workshops and round table discussions.
The meeting structure and content builds on previous RODS experiences and direct feedback from participants and brings attention to novel aspects around future applications of registers. It incorporates innovative and complex methodology. Keynote lectures will touch on novel conceptual frameworks for studying rheumatic diseases, that can enhance our understanding of disease both from a biological and non-biological perspective.
