Our study aimed to assess the feasibility of population-based use studies of health products based on clinical data from the Mother Hospital Center "Le Luxembourg" and medico-administrative data from the National Health Insurance Fund of Mali (CANAM). This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with prospective data collection from May 1 to July 30, 2023. One hundred records were randomly drawn from each database to assess parameters such as content, reference systems used, and frequency of missing data. The international reference recommendations were those issued by pharmaceutical regulatory bodies and learned societies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the International Society of Pharmacoepidemiology (ISPE). The databases of both structures contain general patient information and clinical information for the CHME clinical database. The two databases studied are not available in Open Access on the Internet. They are not anonymised or de-identified in advance without the motivated request of a third party. The primary use of the data remains financial in the context of the management of the said structures. Data collection is instantaneous for the CHME but deferred for the CANAM. The rate of missing data was 48% for the CHME and 0% for the CANAM. Efforts still need to be made regarding the completeness of clinical data through the appropriation of the CINZ@N Hospital Information System (HIS) by CHME practitioners "Le Luxembourg. The urgent adoption of a unique health identifier will facilitate the chaining between these data sources.
