Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   The study is a randomised, placebo controlled double-blind study to determine the efficacy and safety of Ulinastatin as adjuvant therapy in severe sepsis at a dose of 200000IU b.d. for 5 days. The anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative action of Ulinastatin would decrease the mortality and progression of disease. The efficacy endpoints are reduction in mortality, Prevention of new onset organ failure, Improvement of hemodynamics ie time to stoppage of vasopressors and shorter hospitalisation
