The OHDSI Method Evaluation Benchmark - Negative Controls A set of 200 negative controls, centered around four outcomes of interest (acute pancreatitis, GI bleeding, Stroke, and IBD), and 4 exposures of interest (diclofenac, ciprofloxacin, metformin, and sertraline), which 25 negative controls each. Each drug-outcome pair also includes a comparator drug (where the comparator is also a negative control), allowing for evaluation of comparative effect estimation, and a nesting cohort for evaluating methods such as the nested case-control design. The exposure, outcome, and nesting cohorts can be created using the createReferenceSetCohorts function. These negative controls can form the basis to generate positive controls using the injectSignals function.
