# Hospital administered medications

Hospital administered medications data includes medications knwon to be given at hospitals. FinnGen has medication purchase information from Kela and Kanta registries, but medications administered at hospitals are missing from these registries (including mainly drugs administered via i.v. route).

Hospital administered medications data has two datasets, pilot and extended: 

**Pilot set** was obtained from two hospital biobanks (Helsinki and Central Finland) and including 25 hospital administered drugs. These drugs consist mainly of biological medications used in [Task Force](/finngen-data-specifics/disease-specific-task-forces-and-interest-groups.md) diseases, i.v. glucocorticoids used for exacerbation for many diseases and two immuno-oncological drugs. **Data can be found from**: /finngen/library-red/Hospital\_Administered\_Medications/finngen\_R12\_hospital\_medications\_1.0.txt

**Extended** hospital administered medications dataset has data from all six hospital biobanks and includes 15 medications in total. These consist of 11 biological drugs relevant for Task Forces and 4 immuno-oncological drugs. **Data can be found from**: /finngen/library-red/Hospital\_Administered\_Medications/Hospital\_Admister\_Medications\_Extended/.
