Using the Test Results by Specimen Type Report
Use this report to find out how many participants in your query have biospecimen test results.
1. Query description: The number of participants that fall within the listed criteria. The report is generated on these participants.
2. Test: This is a listing of the lab tests by assigned name. Go to the WHI test listing for a current listing of assays done on WHI biospecimens and the ancillary studies they were measured in. New assays will be added on a semi-annual basis as they become available to share. Access to the test result data is restricted to approved investigators.
3. Description: The test description is the same as the one found in the WHI test listing.
4. Specimen: The type of biospecimen that the test result was generated from (serum, EDTA, etc). If a test has results using multiple specimen types, they will be listed in separate rows. Please keep this in mind when sorting the list.
5. Ppts: The total number of participants (Ppts) within your query that have the listed test result at any time point.
6. % of ppts: The percentage of participants (ppts) in your query that have the listed test result at any time point.
7. Time point of biospecimen collection: The number of assays results by specimen collection time point (baseline, AV1, AV3, AV6, Long Life Study [LLS], or other).
