Wake Forest Pepper Study Registry (PSR)


How to search: Enter any single word, or combination of words using " + " (space plus space) in between. As an example, to search for both male and female with a condttion of obesity that have DEXA, enter "DEXA + Obesity + M/F". Clicking a column header will sort the data by that column's data.
Notes: Most studies will have some available demographic and many will have laboratory data. An asterisks (*) indicate study collected by not available in the database.
