A challenge to the world of health sciences research and others

The exponential growth of health sciences research has allowed many new avenues of investigation through the queries of large datasets. These studies serve as a reflection of the real world of outcomes, in contrast to the highly artificial, tightly controlled, randomized controlled trial conducted at a single center or the multicenter trials conducted in academic referral centers. Indeed, the studies of large, statewide or national databases, although they have their limitations, serve as an important mirror of the real world —and herein lies their strength.
