Why is the this study important?
It is estimated that there are at least 5million people with chronic kidney disease in the UK that are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease – this trial should give the evidence required to prove one way or the other whether aspirin should be offered to our patients with chronic kidney disease to prevent heart disease or a stroke.
How do you think health data should be shared and used?
Health data is information collected in the course of health care provided by the NHS or HSC. It is used to provide care, and sometimes also for research to improve care for others. However, there are ways of controlling how health data is used.Researchers based at the University of Cambridge would like to know your view.
The study is open to anyone over 16 years of age (or under 16 with parental permission). Participants must reside in the UK. Average time taken to complete the online survey is approximately 15 minutes.
