Good work you are doing here. I realise that each entry would have it's own unique ID code but should such databases have the ability to enter this so that updates be made with further outcomes? I realise this info may not be to hand but the full data would contain name DOB, address, phone no. etc. so a quick search by data inputter could easily find previous report, or not. They certainly seem to be sweeping these sad deaths under the carpet!
You can take a look at the VAERS from - it does collect info to quite easily uniquely identify followup reports. They just don't let the outside world see it.
I realise columns etc. can be hidden. I'm no expert, look ups and pivot tables was my limit at work, and I wished I'd gone on to learn more. I'm retired now. I like to see how people solve problems. I'm in UK and if you've seen what our government publishes, PDF pages with min data, you'd be very annoyed!
