Qualified investigators can use the SHRINE web-based Query Tool to determine the aggregate total number of patients at participating hospitals who meet a given set of criteria using both inclusion and exclusion logic. Characteristics on which you can query include demographics, diagnoses, medications, and selected laboratory values. Because counts are aggregated, patient privacy is protected. This guide describes the SHRINE Query Tool, including how to register for use, log in to SHRINE, request a Query Topic, and construct a query. Harvard Catalyst provides a full set of guides to support use of SHRINE: SHRINE User Guide – Use the Query Tool to locate patient populations. SHRINE Query Quick Reference – Construct optimum queries by using the Query Tool. SHRINE Data Reference Guide – Understand the terms available for query.
