Bayesian Phase IV study
A Bayesian Phase IV study is a post-marketing research design that applies Bayesian statistical inference to accumulate evidence about a drug or device already approved for clinical use. By formally combining prior evidence from earlier development phases with emerging real-world data, it enables continuous, probabilistic updating of safety and effectiveness estimates — moving beyond the binary hypothesis tests of conventional frequentist surveillance.

Curated claims
Claims persisted in the evidence ledger, each with its own assessment.
This view does not invent a claim assessment when the ledger has none.
