“In REDDIE, we will first define a typical target parameter of an RCT and then look for all people exposed to the same intervention in four comprehensive European real-world databases (Sweden, Denmark, Germany and England).

In this way, we ‘recreate’ the RCT trial within the real-world databases. Due to the large amount of real-world data we have available, we will get much faster answers to our research questions, tested in a much bigger cohort than this would ever be possible with RCTs.”
