NCT ID: NCT03350750
Description: After subject enrollment and follow up have been completed, the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) of the study will prepare a final study database for analysis. A releasable database will be produced and completely de-identified in accordance with the definitions provided in the Health insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Namely, all identifiers specified in HIPAA will be re-coded in a manner that will make it impossible to deduce or impute the specific identity of any patient. The database will not contain any institutional identifiers. The DCC will also prepare a data dictionary that provides a concise definition of every data element included in the database. If specific data elements have idiosyncrasies that might affect interpretation or analysis, this will be discussed in the dictionary document. In accordance with policies determined by the investigators and funding sponsors, the releasable database will be provided to users in electronic form.
