Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) is the premier source for cancer statistics in the United States. It collects information on incidence, prevalence and survival from specific geographic areas representing 26 percent of the US population. Through SEER, we develop reports on all of these information areas plus cancer mortality for the entire country. The site is intended for anyone interested in US cancer statistics or cancer surveillance methods.

NLM
|
NLM is collaborating with AHRQ on the Evidence-based Practice Center (EPC) at Tufts Medical Center to construct a Web-based electronic repository of systematic review data. As envisioned, this resource would serve as both an archive and data extraction tool, enabling the creation of a central database of systematic review findings, which would be made available to a range of audiences in an effort to facilitate evidence reviews and thus improve and speed policy-making with regards to healthcare.

Ten years post PKU Consensus Conference: State of the Science (committee)
|
Other
|
AHRQ, CDC, FDA, HRSA
|
NICHD, NHGRI, NIDDK, NINDS
|
The purpose of this collaboration is to have a scientific discussion to address management of phenylketonuria (PKU) in light of recent research findings. Screening and management guidelines for PKU were last published as the result of a Consensus Conference held in October 2000, and there have been new developments since that time. This new discussion will consider the state of the science in the areas of diet control and management; pharmacologic interventions; PKU and pregnancy; long-term cognitive outcomes and follow-up; and molecular testing, new technologies, and epidemiologic considerations. We are convening working groups to generate and address specific questions related to these topics. In parallel, an AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Committee is independently evaluating the use of newly available pharmaceutical interventions relative to dietary interventions for PKU, with the NIH as a partner in this process. We plan to host a conference in late 2011 (or early 2012) after the AHRQ review process, to discuss the conclusions and recommendations of the working groups.
