IS NOW A BIG SUCCESS WITH COLLABORATORS! |
|
| THANKS
TO ALL OUR COLLABORATORS who are now using CRASHNET to send in their early
outcome data. The first EOF data were received via CRASHNET on 8 August
2002 (thanks to Bennie Hartzenberg and Grant DuPlessis from Tygerberg
Academic Hospital, South Africa). Since this date 242 Early Outcome Forms
have been received through CRASHNET. Although there were some initial
‘teething’ problems over the latter part of 2002, we are pleased
to say that during 2003 we have received around 40 EOFs via CRASHNET per
month, and this number is increasing each and every month! Because the
data are transferred directly into the CRASH database ready for analysis,
there is no delay in processing the data and there are no data entry errors.
CRASHNET saves time, minimises data queries and increases the accuracy
of the trial data. |

We
particularly wish to thank these collaborators for using CRASHNET to
send EOF data: In addition to sending EOF data by CRASHNET, you can analyse your early outcome data, order trial materials directly and see which patients have been followed up at six months and which are due. If you are able to connect to the Internet and would like to send your data via CRASHNET, please contact me and I will create an account for you. |

It is unbelievable that it is already one year since I took over the management of the trial. The achievements of the collaborators during this period have been astounding. These achievements include: |

There have been some changes within the Co-ordinating Centre. Tessa Hosford has been appointed as Assistant Trial Co-ordinator. Tessa will be known to some of you as she has worked with us before in a different capacity. She will help potential collaborators become active by assisting them with ethics approval applications, import licences, Ministry of Health approvals and other pre-trial processes. So if you are in the early stages of applying, do contact Tessa to see if she can help you in any way. More appointments will follow in the near future. A new Trial Assistant and a new Assistant Programmer will be introduced in the next Newsletter. |
