EPOCH sub-studies

EPOCH sub-studies… in progress

Great research needs high-quality data.
EPOCH trial data are comprehensive, high quality and can be used to answer new scientific questions.

Objective

Determining the frequency, nature, and outcomes of events in defined sub-groups.
Studying associations of practices and processes of care with clinical events and their outcomes.

Projects

Re-using the EPOCH dataset will enable completion of sub-studies each lead by a collaborator from an EPOCH site.
