Outside the hospital, clinical data is out of reach
Start today, no data application.
Why it was closed
Without a hospital affiliation there is almost no path to clinical data. Public datasets open only after an application and review, once the protocol is already fixed. Nothing is available at the exploratory stage.
So pharmacy, public health, epidemiology and statistics research either stops at data access, or shapes its topics around whatever public aggregates already exist.
Here, typing a question is the start. No application form, no proof of affiliation.
What works without an application
Right now, on this site.
- Patient counts under your criteria — no account needed.
- What was matched, on which spelling, against which denominator
- A few record excerpts once a work email is on file
- What leaves is an aggregate, so this stage needs no ethics review.
Common questions
- Can graduate students use it?
- Yes. We do not ask for proof of affiliation. Only excerpts require an institutional email.
- Can we get the dataset and analyze it ourselves?
- No. Patient-level data never leaves, so research that needs the dataset itself is not a fit. What leaves is aggregates and excerpts.
- Can the result be cited in a paper?
- The output carries the counting rule, the denominator and the limits, in a citable form. Submission and review responses are not ours to do.
- Is the sample representative?
- No. It is a self-selected sample. It fits reading the actual course left in the record text, not prevalence or scale estimation.
