Shared Health Research Information Network (SHRINE)
Shared Health Research Information Network (SHRINE) use to find your cohort population
Investigators can use SHRINE web-based query tool to determine the aggregate total number of patients at participating hospitals who meet a given set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Because counts are aggregated, patient privacy is protected.
This data will be most useful for investigators interested in:
- Generating new research hypotheses
- Planning research requiring large sample sizes not easily available at any single institution
- Preparing grant applications that would benefit from pre-identification and/or characterization of a potential research cohort
- Identifying potential cohorts for clinical trials
- Conducting research in the areas of population health and health services
SHRINE Application Interface
As an example we execute the query on SHRINE, which consists of 20 institutes with total patients up to 1,734,245 on 01/08/2025
Patients break down according to Diagnoses J09-J18 Influenza And Pneumonia (J09-J18) (2010AB-2022AB) as follows;
