Description
This database uses the PEDSnet Common Data Model and consists of 24 tables that represent over 14 million patients. PEDSnet’s data network is one of the valuable resources it brings to accelerating the study of child health. The PEDSnet Coordinating Center partners with the informatics teams at each PEDSnet institution to continually assess current network data and strengthen the data infrastructure for a wide range of studies.
