Translational Research and Patient Safety in Europe
Diabetes use case: research
questions
RQ1: Are well selected single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs ) in T2D patients associated with the development of
complications as coronary artery disease and retinopathy
in a sample of at least 10.000 subjects from the European
Union population?
RQ2: Are well selected single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) in T2D patients associated with variations in drug
response to oral antidiabetics?
RQ3: Which genetic markers (SNPs) are associated with T2D
related complications as diabetic nephropathy?
Translational Research and Patient Safety in Europe
GERD: research questions
• What is the association between the
development of esophageal carcinoma and
length of GERD history/ PPI use?
• [Case-control study]
• What is the effectiveness of on demand v
continuous use of PPI in GERD?
• [RCT]

Measures
Cohort and RCT
Translational Research and Patient Safety in Europe
Modeling Consent
• Consent for entry into an RCT requires
‘informed consent’
• Consent for re-use of data requires ‘explicit
consent’
• Therefore :
– Potentially eligible subjects become research
subjects after consent
– Two different types of consent are needed
Translational Research and Patient Safety in Europe
Authorization
• Control of release of data is encapsulated in a
functional zone model in order to clarify the
use and access to different types of data
• Consent and authorization are used to control
the flow of data
Translational Research and Patient Safety in Europe
Rapid phenotyping
• The system needs to support:
– Rich semantic queries of the target data
– Assembly of a cohort
– Repeat data collection from this cohort by tracking
and updates at time intervals specified in the
study protocol
Translational Research and Patient Safety in Europe
Access to genotype
• Access to SNP data for the selected cohort:
– Linkage of phenotype data with SNP data for same
patients using pseudonymzation
– Browsing and extraction of available SNPs for
analysis
– Protection mechanisms for vicarious identification
Translational Research and Patient Safety in Europe
Real time recruitment

•
•
Crucial to incident case recruitment
Embedded within/alongside the eHR
Standards-based plug and play
Integration with clinical workflow
Requires EN/ISO13606 to integrate detailed
clinical models and archetypes
• Business model
Translational Research and Patient Safety in Europe
Recruitment service
• For prevalent case recruitment
• Can be based on asynchronous rather than
synchronous services
• May incorporate a data warehousing solution
• May involve data linkage
