  1. Registries accessed was captured for all 160 trials. Information about datasets accessed from these registries was captured only for those 91 accessing routinely collected health data (RCHD) between 2017 and 2018. The fields are not mutually exclusive as one trial may have accessed data from multiple registries, and multiple datasets can be accessed via a single registry. Percentages are calculated by using the column header denominators. Hospital visits includes all Hospital Episode Statistics (Outpatient, Inpatient, Accident and Emergency, and Critical Care), Patient Episode Database for Wales (PEDW), and Scottish Morbidity Records (SMR).
