We have calculated that the CMP database has an average coverage of 45% of general adult critical care units during the period studied, and the submissions studied are therefore representative of approximately 16,000 patients admitted to critical care following oesophagectomy.
SRA metadata is organised and stored in a relational database format across a number of tables: Submission, Study, Experiment, Run, Sample and Analysis.

Following this submission, studies in several other countries have reaffirmed the direct link between parental education and child mortality (Adetunji 1995; Cleland and van Ginneken 1988; Defo 1996; Folasade 2000; Hobcraft 1993; Iyun 1992).
Submission of study protocols to RECs constitutes one of the earliest stages at which planned trials are documented in detail.
Of the 50 submissions we studied, 37 (74%) were provided without prompting whereas 13 (26%) were received after curators emailed an article's authors at least once to request submission.
Submission and study of isolates enables a better understanding of antifungal susceptibility patterns among invasive Candida isolates; this information is not usually available from hospital clinical microbiology laboratories.
Submission of study protocols to research ethics committees (RECs) constitutes one of the earliest stages at which planned trials are documented in detail.
Centralized Institutional Review Boards (New England Institutional Review Board in 2007 and Copernicus Group Independent Review Board from 2008 to 2011) approved the studies and iterative submission of study documents (study protocol, interview guides, patient information and informed consent form, and health information and demographic form).
