This data item contains the clinical and demographic data collected.
clinical_data.csv, clinical_data.xlsx and clinical_data.rds contain the actual clinical data. They are identical except that the first is a CSV file, the second an XLSX file and the third an RDS file. The RDS file is useful because it can be read into R using `readRDS('clinical_data.rds')` and then retains the original variable types for each of the columns.
