Abstract

“IMI's EHDEN project dramatically demonstrated the power of using clinical data in research by replicating, during a five-day ‘study-a-thon’, the results of a systematic review covering 20 years of research, and a multi-year clinical trial.” 1 In this quote the Innovative Medicine's Initiative (IMI) newsroom refers to the results of a recently published population-based network study, which reported on opioid use, postoperative complications, and implant survival after unicompartmental versus total knee replacement. 2 Is it possible that within 5 days, approximately 300 pages of study documentation (a study protocol comprised of 259 pages, 3 a published paper, 2 30 pages of appendices, 2 and numerous of pages of R-syntaxes) were created? 3
