Data Platforms

Investing in data platforms can improve paediatric evidence generation across disparate trials, including studies without published findings. Routine data sharing and existing platforms can reduce the burden of conducting IPD-MA. Data platforms can create economies of scale and scope while strengthening governance and equitable partnerships. Data platforms can function as pulley mechanisms by reusing limited existing data and scarce research resources. Data platforms support pooling and harmonisation of datasets from multiple centres or studies.
