Abstract: This thought experiment seeks to answer 3 fundamental questions:
1. Opioid crisis in 19th century China is unquestionably data, but was it Real World Evidence (RWE)? Why/why not?
2. Historical sources will be mined for data points to parallels between 19th Century China and today’s opioid epidemic. Could these have been used as predictive indicators?
3. Consideration of the temporal nature of data- if we, today, reject all data generated outside of present moment commonly held data and technology standards, what will happen 50 years from now, looking back on data from today?
Summary: A Real World Evidence (RWE) thought experiment to assess how RWE could have played a role in assessing modern day addiction liability of pharmacotherapeutics. Data presented highlighting RWD from the opium epidemic in 19th century China to 21st century opioid epidemic in the U.S.
