Core

Central Participant ID

Every participant that participates in our group is assigned a Central Participant ID (CentralParticipantID). This Central Participant ID is assigned centrally by the data base operator, which is Manuel Spitschan.

The Central Participant ID is formed as follows:

YY####

Here, YY corresponds to the year in double digits (i.e. 22 for the year 2022), and #### corresponds to the running participant number from the date of entry. #### is leading with zeros, i.e. 0001 for the first participant.

For the first participant recruited in 2022, the central participant ID would be 220001, for the second 220002 and so forth.

Project Participant ID

Every participant participating in a specific project is also assigned a specific participant ID relevant for this project. This is called ProjectParticipantID. The number is assigned at consent and added to the central data base. The Project Participant ID is formed as runing number starting with 101, where this is the first participant in the project.
