The Clinical Research Database (CRDB)
The Clinical Research Database
The Clinical Research Database (CRDB) is a large-scale, longitudinal clinical data repository that is utilized to support clinical research. The CRDB is composed of a limited data set (LDS) containing 15 years (2007 – 2021) of longitudinal data on more than two million patients. The CRDB has a supporting web-based application that allows 黑料门University Chicago faculty, students and staff to preform “preparatory-to-research" queries in a “self-serve” manner. Unique feature of the CRDB are:
- Allows end-users to perform both population- and encounter-based queries.
- Provides linkage to de-identified concept unique identifiers (CUIs) and semantic type identifiers (TUIs) for 92M reports that are associated with the CRDB structured data elements. Theses associated CUIs/TUIs were produced through large-scale natural language processing (NLP).
Resource available to the following users:
The CRDB is available to all Loyola University Chicago faculty, students and staff with credentials active on the .
The CRDB’s web-based application is accessed via the which is only available while on Loyola’s campus networks or when using its external virtual private network (VPN).
Requests for CRDB data require:
Requests for CRDB data, beyond aggregated-level data provided by “preparatory-to-research" queries, require:
- An approved Institutional Review Board (IRB) clinical research application for observational/retrospective studies.
- A completed (once IRB is approved). A clinical data request form can alternatively be submitted via E-mail (download the Clinical Data Request Form) or through the CRDB website.
