Data Resource Profile: The Scottish Combined Medicines Dataset (SCoMeD)
SCoMeD facilitates a range of different studies, including cross-sectional/point-prevalence studies and drug utilisation studies as well as longitudinal studies, e.g., cohort and case-control studies. With the possibility to link to other relevant datasets, additional areas of interest may include health policy evaluations and health economics studies.
