Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

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

Brief Summary   A total of 100 pregnant women for cesarean section as per obstetrical indication will be randomized to receive spinal anaesthesia in sitting and supine positions. These two groups will be compared with respect to fall in BP, duration of analgesia, lowest BP recordable, blood loss, onset of analgesia, to determine which of the two techniques for spinal anaesthesia, is more effective.
