Elsayyad is proposing an opt-out system, where patients are automatically enrolled for their data to be used unless they specify otherwise.
In addition to the trauma patients enrolled for epidemiologic data collection in the TRDB, a subset of 244 severely injured trauma patients, 16 to 90 years old, and an additional 21 healthy controls were enrolled for blood sampling for enriched PMN genomic analysis.
Of the 1,389 suspects enrolled, for 998 (72%) data on smear, culture and CXR was complete.
The limitation of a population that is not systematically screened, but is consecutively enrolled for deriving this data is of course recognized.
Data enrolled for analysis included age, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).
All patients scheduled to have elective surgery during the period of twelve weeks were enrolled for prospective collection of data including demographics, the admitting diagnoses, surgical procedure, category of surgery and specialty, and the patients' attendance to preanaesthetic clinics.
In Table 1 we collected demographic and laboratory data about patients enrolled for this study.
figshare: Post-operative clinical data of children enrolled for comparison of ScvO2% with PediaSat and with cerebral NIRS values.
Among all the patients, 757 patients had complete data and were enrolled for the hospitalisation analysis, but only 309 patients of them were defined hospitalisation, the other were defined non-hospitalisation for access-related hospitalisation (HD patients artery-venous fistula operation, PD catheter implantation) and transplanted-related hospitalisation were excluded.
Considering the patient cohort with pharmacogenomic data, 119 patients enrolled for the study had peripheral blood samples collected at baseline and were randomly assigned to the masitinib plus gemcitabine or placebo plus gemcitabine treatment-arms (n = 60 and n = 59 patients, respectively).
