I hope there is some search mechanism that can access all the journals that will publish this voluminous data. It will be impractical to read all these studies to form a conclusion based on the full data set available. Perhaps each drug could have an editorial ombudsman to objectively assess and summarize the ongoing publication of data, because I don’t believe the majority of working doctors have the time to do extensive research. They need an up-to-date summary assessment of benefit/risk in one predictable place where they can go to get a quick, true, summary of available data. This is not a medical problem per se, but practically it has the same result.
