    TLDR Enriching the French health care database with external data greatly improved its usefulness.
    The document discussed the enrichment of the French administrative health care database (SNDS) through various examples, highlighting its value in medical research. The CONSTANCES cohort, established in 2008, was designed to address broad epidemiological questions, while other studies like CANARI and ISO-PSY focused on specific research objectives, such as the risk of high-grade prostate cancer and the potential link between isotretinoin and suicidal risk, respectively. The enrichment of SNDS allowed for the validation of disease identification algorithms, as demonstrated in the EPI-GETB-AM study for venous thromboembolism. The document concluded that the SNDS enrichments facilitated diverse medical research applications.
