Participation in pooled analyses
 

  • The cohort is potentially interested in participating in pooled analyses of (European) occupational cohort studies (note pooled analyses also includes remote decentralized analyses that would not require any transfer of primary data as well as meta-analyses).

Main aim of cohort, please briefly describe the main objectives of the cohort
  The overall objectives of the EGEA study are to study the genetic and environmental factors and their interactions in asthma and asthma-related phenotypes (bronchial hyperresponsivness, atopy), and to clarify the heterogeneity of the disease.
