We've reached 1,000,000!                                     

If you enter SSNAP data you may have noticed that the SSNAP Patient IDs are now 7 digits long, starting with 100. Thank you to all SSNAP users for their continued effort in entering these valuable data. Such large quantities of data allow extremely valuable research to take place, see more of this in our recently updated Research area.
