New Study: SPRINT-POP (data)

Data from the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial Primary Outcome Paper (SPRINT-POP) are available for request. The data are limited to the subset of SPRINT Study data which underlie the November 2015 New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) publication. NEJM is sponsoring a SPRINT Data Analysis Challenge and the SPRINT-Primary Outcome Paper data is a required element. The SPRINT-Primary Outcome Paper dataset is open for request by any qualified party, regardless of intent to participate in the SPRINT Data Analysis Challenge. Requests for the SPRINT-Primary Outcome Paper data are currently being accepted and will be processed in a manner identical to any other study available through the BioLINCC website; however, the data will not be available for download until Tuesday, November 1, 2016.
