The economic cost of thyroid cancer in France and the corresponding share associated with treatment of overdiagnosed cases
Thyroid cancer incidence in France has increased rapidly in recent decades. Most of this increase has been attributed to overdiagnosis, the major consequence of which is overtreatment. We aimed to estimate the cost of thyroid cancer management in France and the corresponding cost proportion attributable to the treatment of overdiagnosed cases. (Source: Value in Health)

Use of Big Data and Ethical Issues for Populations with Substance Use Disorder
We describe a state-level effort to address aspects of the opioid epidemic through public health research, which has resulted in an expansive data resource combining dozens of administrative data sources in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts Public Health Data Warehouse is a public health innovation that serves as an example of how to address the complexities of balancing data privacy and access to data for public health and health services research.

A Rapid Review on the Value of Biobanks Containing Genetic Information
Increasing access to health data through biobanks containing genetic information has the potential to expand the knowledge base and thereby improve screening, diagnosis, and treatment options for many diseases. However, while privacy concerns and risks surrounding genetic data sharing are well documented, direct evidence in favour of the hypothesized benefits of data integration is scarce, which complicates decision-making in this area. Therefore, the objective of this study is to summarize the available evidence on the research and clinical impacts of biobanks containing genetic information, so as to better understand how...

Data Governance for Real-World Data Management: A Proposal for a Checklist to Support Decision Making
Real-world data (RWD) and real-world evidence (RWE) can provide extensive information on healthcare for use in health technology assessment (HTA) and decision making. However, there is a lack of consensus surrounding the appropriate data governance (DG) practices for RWD/E. Data sharing is also a large concern, especially considering evolving data protection regulations. Our objective is to propose recommendations for international standards of evaluating the acceptability of RWD governance practices. (Source: Value in Health)
