Member treatment Spread sheet

A year or two ago someone made a spread sheet of members and success on treatment
I wonder if anyone who was around then has a link to that

I am curious to see if anyone from the cosmos trial, which is essentially what I am doing with Sovadi and olysio are on it, and see their success with it
Thanks

There used to be a post (I'm sure it's in the archives somewhere) with a list of members, their treatment history, and results.  Anyone could update this list by simply cutting and pasting into a new post (same subject) and updating their line.

My prior comment Off topic a bit but related.  Just in general if a member was reading this and wanted to create their own  treatment spreadsheet.

But had a few more thought more on topic for future consideration.
Some way to automate a lot of the work and have a very small volunteer group to monitor, fix and adjust the working model. The group could replace a member who was no longer available for the project.  This is only an idea and may not be achievable..    

If sometime in the future MedHelp created a HCV member opt in database that would auto update after members entered their info. Showing a similar type spreadsheet and compile and calculate separate ones similar to the drug trial ones.  

Maybe something could be done with google apps, Sheets, Forms, Fusion Tables or similar. Obviously not ready for "prime time" but maybe in the future.

Maybe next winter when It's cold and snowy if I can get some free help might get somewhere with it. Plans now are to finish treatment in June, enjoy the summer and get the good news SVR in September.

Not sure who you are talking to or what you are talking about.

Candyce, who started the thread, asked for a link to Frijole's spread sheets. I supplied her with the link and a note that Frijole is no longer updating the spread sheets (consequently nothing on the new meds or Cosmos trial is on those spread sheets). However, they may be of interest to look at.

No one is updating the spread sheets now and, as far as I know, no one will be.

"ands then in the pa " what was that? occasionally in the past

A couple simple ideas that will take some time with no other functions like formulas and graph manipulations  

1.Some drug companies, providers may have specific charts in pdf, other image or paper handout format. If there are enough columns, rows and cell space. You could scan and/or convert if necessary to the image edit software application you have. Deleted unneeded text and add text descriptions you need.  

2. If no chart creating software and/or you don't want to use a simple to time consuming program like MS paint to make one. Carefully draw a chart with a ruler and write in the info and/or scan to complete with image editor software.

Thanks. I have also search now ands then in the pa and found a few but they were limited to certain specific situations. Same goes for apps and other limited software.

In the earlier 90's I was an estimator for an Asbestos removal company.and bought a $2,200 386 laptop. Using MSWorks created a spreadsheet to automate the estimating calculating operation rather than long paper form and a calculator Also created line or bar graphs for visual comparison.

If I ever get a OCD bug to try and create one or more modifiable templates with formulas for HCV, treatment or related before I can find one.

Much harder, have a way to take raw bluebutton medical test data and auto import into a spreadsheet/data base would be a miracle.

Since the ability to create and modify etc with MS Office requires $$ I may try it with free LibraOffice. Don't hold your breath.

If any one finds something similar with formulas, modifiable and free please post or PM me.     . .

Frijole did the spread sheets. However, she has not added anyone for a long time. Most of the people on those spread sheets did triple med treatment (Interferon, Ribavirin, and a PI, either Victrelis or Incivek).

However, here is a link to her profile page. The spread sheets are under her photos, 6 of them, and people are listed in alphabetical order. Even though there is no one from the Cosmos trial on the sheets, the data is very interesting and it is great to see all of those SVRs.
