Collection of demographic data in clinical trials: are UK Dermatology Clinical Trial Network-supported studies better than the rest?
We aim to highlight an ongoing deficit in the collection of demographic data in research. While we found that UK Dermatology Clinical Trials Network (UK DCTN)-supported studies outperformed those not supported by the UK DCTN, we identified a need to develop clear guidelines for minimal data collection requirements for all future UK DCTN-supported trials.
