Real-world data
RWD and real-world evidence (RWE)
Real-world data is health data collected outside clinical trials, from records, registries, claims and devices, and real-world evidence is what is derived from analysing it.
Regulators accept it for some decisions, and OMOP and the EHDS secondary-use rules exist largely to make it usable.
