NICHD Data and Specimen Hub (DASH)
The NICHD also wishes to announce that seven Collaborative Pediatric Critical Care Research Network (CPCCRN) studies have been archived and released in the NICHD Data and Specimen Hub (DASH):
Development of a Quantitative Functional Status Scale (FSS) for Pediatric Patients
The Critical Illness Stress-induced Immune Suppression Prevention (CRISIS) Trial
Cortisol Quantification Investigation: Prospective, Observational Study Comparing Free versus Total Serum Cortisol in PICU Patients
Critical Asthma Mortality and Morbidity Planning Study (CAMMP)
Trichotomous Outcome Prediction in Critical Care (TOPICC)
Bleeding and Thrombosis During ECMO (BATE).
Measuring Opioid Tolerance Induced by Fentanyl (or Other Opioids) (MOTIF)
All interested investigators are encouraged to explore these and other studies archived in DASH that are available for secondary analysis. In addition to accessing study data and documents, DASH also serves as a portal for requesting access to biospecimens that are available for some studies. Please feel free to share this information with other investigators and colleagues who may be interested in learning more about DASH to archive their studies or to obtain data and biospecimens for their own research.
