Can anyone else use this data?

By entering this study you agree that the data becomes copyright of Dr Graham Chiu, and may not be published or used in other studies or reports without his written permission.

Obviously your own data still belongs to you to be used by yourself and your attending physicians. And you can show all of this public data to your physician.

However, we do not wish to see data being used in ways to "demonstrate" facts in a premature fashion. This is particularly because one form of treatment - antibiotics - may make patients worse intially before they improve, and their maximal improvement may take several years. This may apply to other medications as well.
