Common Cold Project Data Sets

The Common Cold Project began in 2011 with the aim of creating, documenting, and archiving a database that combines final research data from 5 prospective viral-challenge studies that were conducted over the preceding 25 years: the British Cold Study (BCS); the three Pittsburgh Cold Studies (PCS1, PCS2, and PCS3); and the Pittsburgh Mind-Body Center Cold Study (PMBC). These unique studies assessed predictor (and hypothesized mediating) variables in healthy adults aged 18 to 55 years, experimentally exposed them to a virus that causes the common cold, and then monitored them for development of infection and signs and symptoms of illness.

自2011年起，'普通感冒项目'旨在创建、记录并存档一个数据库，该数据库整合了过去25年间进行的5项前瞻性病毒挑战研究的最终研究数据：英国感冒研究（BCS）、三场匹兹堡感冒研究（PCS1、PCS2和PCS3）以及匹兹堡身心研究中心感冒研究（PMBC）。这些独特的 研究，针对18至55岁的健康成人，评估了预测变量（以及假设的调节变量），通过实验方式使其暴露于引起普通感冒的病毒，随后监测其感染的发展以及疾病的症状和体征。
