Thanks very much to all of you who have expressed interest in
participating in COAD #1 and to all of you who have made comments on the
protocol.
The protocol has been revised in response to your suggestions and both it
and the data forms are now available to use. Please review the protocol
and if you're interested in joining us, register as an investigator.The
protocol can be seen at http://cebm.jr2.ox.ac.uk/care/protocol_coad.html
By 1800 GMT on Wednesday November 4, 1998 we will have the online data
entry system running. Complete instructions on how to use the data entry
system will be provided then. Until Wednesday, you can review the
protocol, register for the study, obtain all of the data
collection sheets and start enroling patients by following these
steps:
1. go to http://cebm.jr2.ox.ac.uk/care/protocol_coad.html
2. click on new investigator registration (you can also get here directly
at http://cebm.jr2.ox.ac.uk/care/carecoad_newinv_register.html) and enrol
in the study
3. once you have completed and submitted the registration form over the
Internet, you will immediately receive an investigator ID number and be
asked to supply a password for subsequent data entry.
4. you will then be presented with the option to download the spirometry
and clinical examination forms which you should download and save.
5. now you can begin enroling patients
We are looking forward to collaborating with you on this inaugural
project!
