Research lines

Method first, conclusions later.

We publish what is verifiable, including what is not yet established. Every claim carries a label showing how firm the underlying evidence is.

Line one

The process gap

Review version 0.98. A method proposal, not a research result.

How do you reconstruct a pathway that runs across several organisations, and can you establish where it stalled and why? This proposal describes the design, the source classification and the limits of what such a reconstruction could ever show.

Evidence limit: zero cases have been measured with this method. The proposal is open for methodological review.

Line two

Medication in the chain

In development. No publication yet.

Who remains responsible when a prescription turns into long-term use, tapering or standstill? This line examines prescribing, withdrawal and the connection with illegal availability of oxycodone. The research question and source base are still being sharpened.

Evidence limit: nothing has been established here yet. That is stated on the site as well.

How we label evidence

Publications use labels so a reader can see per statement how firm the basis is: measured, calculated, correlation, case report, or unknown. A number that looks precise is not automatically a national fact, and we mark it accordingly.

Why publications are in Dutch

The research concerns Dutch healthcare, Dutch registries and Dutch legislation. Translating it would suggest a general applicability the material does not have. If you are working on comparable research and want to discuss the method, please get in touch.
