For the duration of the study, the dataset will be held and maintained atthe Data Man<strong>age</strong>ment Centre, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.All data <strong>for</strong> a particular DP can be made available to the originating DP (<strong>for</strong>mattedand cleaned) at the end of the study. Summaries of data will be fed back to DPsregularly (see 10.2) during the study, <strong>for</strong> local review. Requests <strong>for</strong> additionalstatistics in regular reports, and secondary analyses of the whole dataset, will beconsidered by the Steering Committee. Requests <strong>for</strong> all data <strong>for</strong> a DP during thestudy will also be considered by the Steering Committee, but will need to justify thespecial circumstances that make this necessary because of the potentially timeconsumingnature of satisfying such one-off requests.The dataset will be archived securely at the end of the study and any requests <strong>for</strong>access or further analysis will be considered by the Steering Committee, or by askeleton committee after the disbandment of the existing Steering Committee toconsist of one of the investigators, a separate representative of the Royal College ofOphthalmologists, and one other member of the original Steering Committee whohas no day-to-day involvement with the study.© Queen’s Printer and Controller of HMSO 2012.
