Petra Denig (supervisor of Atiya) also presented an abstract on the topic: ‘Using Multiple Medications with Similar Adverse Drug Reactions Can Increase the Likelihood of a Prescribing Cascade: A Cohort Study’.
The conference provided a comprehensive update on the latest advancements in pharmacoepidemiology, with ample networking opportunities both nationally—featuring large groups from Utrecht University, Groningen, and Lareb—and internationally.
