What Are the Methods Used in Post Market Surveillance?
There are several methods used in PMS, including:
Spontaneous Reporting Systems: Healthcare professionals and patients report adverse events to regulatory authorities. Registry Studies: Databases that collect information on patients receiving specific treatments. Observational Studies: Non-interventional studies that observe outcomes in a real-world setting. Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs): While more commonly used before market approval, RCTs can also be conducted post-market to gather more data.
