<a name="_Toc252370685">SHRINE Data</a>
</h2>
<p>
SHRINE currently has a complete set of data for demographics and diagnosis, and partial data sets for medications and laboratory values. The quality
and completeness reflect what is available based on each institution's electronic medical record system. Queries return aggregate results only.
</p>
<p>
Data begin in January 1, 2001 and are current to the present. SHRINE data are refreshed on a regular basis.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Note</strong>: SHRINE does not provide access to patient records. There are plans to provide access to limited data sets in a future release. There are <em>no</em>
plans to provide access to full datasets.
</p>
<p>
Available data comprise the following:
</p>
<ul><li>
