After entering the data in this form, go to the Patient Characteristics Input Form to enter Patient Characteristics for each arm of the trial. Then enter published data into the appropriate outcomes tables.

Input Form for Patient Characteristics Data for Each Disorder/Treatment Arm in a Trial

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis EPC Project

A separate record is entered for each Patient Group within a Trial (Arm of a Trial). Each Patient Group is distinguished by its Alexandria ID number (linked to Trial publication), Disorder, and Treatment, and Post Treatment Group. These four keys uniquely identifies each Patient Group within a Trial. Each Patient Group receives a unique ID Number

Patient Group Keys

The Patient Group Identification Number is composed of the Alexandria Number followed by a two digit number that uniquely identifies the patients in this arm of the trial
