The checklist's nine main categories of procedures intervention, empirical setting, research design, task category, observer, subject, data recording, data analysis, and ancillary data focus on subject identification, randomization, data collection, and data analysis.
We excluded 1,387 (6.2%) results with either incomplete data on subjects' identification or based on fewer than 100 metaphases; we also excluded 257 assays corresponding to 117 subjects with a diagnosis of cancer before the date of the first assay.
Measurements were performed by one trained observer with independent random cross checks blindly performed by a second trained observer, both blinded to subject identification, and data collected.
It means that any information, which can be used in the right context for the identification of a person ("data subject") is personal data, even though the information in itself (outside the right context) does not directly identify the data subject [21].
The RIATOL cervical cancer screening and diagnostic follow-up database contains all the cytologic, histologic, treatment, and virologic data, which are linked using a unique subject identification number.
A clear identification and information of the data subject must be given.
All subject identification and information will be kept confidential.
All data collected in this study are referred to by subject identification number only.
Primary and final analyzed data will have identifiers so that research data can be attributed to an individual human subject participant required for subject identification, e.g., study-specific identifying number generated by Principal Investigator and/or Associate Investigators for subject identification.
A subject identification code is used to link the data to the subject.
Each participant gets a subject identification number to ensure confidentiality of the data.
