Not disagreeing with your point. . . However, what I do know is that the EMR/EHR systems have lots of data which can be analyzed for potential analysis such as this. The downside is that for a nation wide study to be done then many different hospital systems data would have to be merged together to get a non localized view to begin to find any unique smoking gun. . so if you get an idea, and have some time / money, the data for research is more readily available, and if enough data / studies have enough influence that there is a statistical anomaly worth finding a smoking gun, we might make some progress into the unknown
The teaching hospital and PhD program adjacent to where coachk works does use some of the EMR data in their research.
