General information
The SCAPIS baseline examination (2013-2018), collected data, bioimages and biological samples from a total of 30 154 individuals at 6 different sites (Gothenburg 6,265 participants, Linköping 5,057, Malmö 6,251, Stockholm 5,039, Umeå 2,506 and Uppsala 5,036). Of the 30,154 individuals, 14,646 were men and 15,508 women.
The baseline examination was completed in the end of 2018 and the first public release of data was made in March 2021and SCAPIS continuously adds new data types and variables to the database.
In addition, the pilot examination was conducted in Gothenburg the year before the baseline examination started comprising 1,111 individuals.
The SCAPIS re-examination of approximately half of the SCAPIS baseline examination population is ongoing and will be closed during 2026. Data from the re-examination is planned to be released by the end of 2026.
When applying, either the entire SCAPIS cohort can be selected or a selection based on one or more specific site/s. The pilot cohort can also be selected as a selection.
In the SCAPIS portal you can see the complete selection of all variables that are currently available. Available data comes mainly from the SCAPIS study's core surveys, i.e. surveys conducted on all sites. However, there is also some data from local sub-studies within SCAPIS that have been performed on some or all of the cohort participants at a particular site. Data from local sub-studies will be released gradually over time.
Please note that data applied for must not be used for prospective follow up analyses.
All data released from SCAPIS is disclosed in a pseudonymous form where each SCAPIS participant is represented by an ID unique to each data set. Population selection is possible based on study site, sex and smoking status. If you can send in a list with a predefined population (e.g. participants in a particular local sub study) it is possible to use this for selection as well. SCAPIS cannot offer selection of population based on other criteria or matching of SCAPIS participants to other populations. If we are able to offer this service, it will be announced in our newsletter and here at scapis.org.
