• Research summary

  To amalgamate an established ethically approved Research Database (09/H0405/27), with its related 'Database Screening' study (09/H0401/67) into one single database for Respiratory Research with the purpose of:

  • Collecting personal and clinical data obtained during out-patient appointments and other assessments (e.g. from other research studies) and storing for the purposes of potential future research.

  • Carry out Spirometry (simple blowing test) to measure lung function.

  • Collecting saliva samples for DNA extraction for future research use.

  The NRR Database will use this information and data collected to identify potential participants to take part in new clinical research studies. The database is hoped to improve research by investigating possible disease causes, assess the condition's progress, analyse the diversity of symptoms and develop better symptom/treatment management.
