2016 - 2022HEPLISAV-B Post Marketing Surveillance Study
The primary objective of this post-marketing observational surveillance study is to compare the occurrence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in recipients of HEPLISAV-B with recipients of another hepatitis B vaccine. The study will also evaluate the incidence of new onset immune-mediated diseases, herpes zoster, and anaphylaxis in recipients of HEPLISAV-B compared to recipients of another hepatitis B vaccine.

2017 - 2021Improving Blood Pressure and Treatment Strategies in Young Adults
About 20% of US young adults have high blood pressure (BP), however, the optimal BP screening and treatment strategies in young adults are unknown. Many young adults are not aware of their high BP, and are not recommended for BP lowering medication, partly due to the lack of evidence. The overall goal of this study is to determine the optimal BP screening intervals and identify subgroups of young adults with high cardiovascular risk who may benefit most from BP lowering medications.

2021 - 2026Moderate Hypertension in Pregnancy: Safety and Effectiveness of Treatment
Evaluating the effect of treating mild-to-moderate hypertension in pregnancy, compare the risks of clinically important outcomes with different medications, and determine whether the benefits and risks vary by maternal race/ethnicity or obesity status.

Atrial fibrillation affects ~25% of patients with kidney disease and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. It remains unknown whether standard therapies for atrial fibrillation are effective and safe in patients with chronic kidney disease. The overall goal of this proposal to study the receipt, safety and efficacy of medications and procedures used in the treatment of atrial fibrillation in patients with kidney disease.

2019 - 2023Retrospective Cohort Study of Risk of Hip Fractures Associated with High Dose, Long-term Proton Pump Inhibitor (HD-PPI) Use and Cytochrome P450 Pharmacogenomics
The main goals of this study are to conduct two related cohort studies intended to address questions related to the association between PPI and HD-PPI use in a setting of complex medication usage patterns and to conduct a pharmacogenetics study exploring potential modification of the relationship between PPI use and hip fracture risk by CYP2C19 genotype.

2014 - 2018The Comparative effectiveness of Warfarin and New Oral Anticoagulants for the Extended Treatment of Venous Thromboembolism
The overall goal of this project is to provide information on the benefits and harms comparing different treatment options for the extended treatment of VTE, information that can be used by clinicians and patients in deciding on the optimal treatment strategy.
COVID-19-Related Project Enhancement
Recent studies have reported that COVID-19 is associated with abnormal coagulation profiles and may predispose patients to VTE and other types of thrombotic events. The goals of this study are to determine the risk of VTE following COVID-19 hospitalization and whether the risk of post-hospitalization VTE varies by age, prior history of VTE or severity of COVID-19.

VSD is a multi-site study of vaccine safety in a network of managed care organizations from across the US. The VSD project allows for planned immunization safety studies as well as timely investigations of hypotheses that arise from review of medical literature, reports to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), changes in immunization schedules, or the introduction of new vaccines.
