Instructions for reviewers
- Review each field against your knowledge of this cohort. Mark Accurate if the value is right, Needs correction if it is wrong or inaccurate (add notes), Not sure if you cannot verify it, or Does not apply if the field is not relevant.
- Evidence shown is from our source registry. Fields marked No source yet hold values we could not yet pin to a document — those were AI-inferred and need your input most. Fields marked Searched — not published are ones we looked for and could not find publicly; the note lists where we checked.
- Your selections and notes are kept in this browser tab only (not sent to the database). Print or save as PDF when finished, then return it to the DIGIT team.

Summary and status
| Field | Current value | Evidence | Source evidence | Response | Notes / correction |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Description Required | Psychosis biomarker programme led from King's College London and the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust partnership, catalogued in DIGIT as BIOPATH (data-population-plan.md §3.3 Group 1 list). No dedicated public cohort website or registry record using the name BIOPATH was located in Apr 2026. 3D scores follow DIGIT appendix examples that list BIOPATH under active consent and deep phenotyping tiers; data availability is derived from biological sampling plus research assessments per data-dictionary.md flags. | Field-cited |

Notes Recommended | Identity: “BIOPATH” is the DIGIT short label from docs/data-population-plan.md §3.3. The expanded full name is an acronym interpretation for display and is not verified as a standalone public cohort title. Comparator: the KCL IoPPN “Baseline Biomarker Check (BBC)” page describes a distinct public protocol (first-episode psychosis biomarker treatment prediction); it uses different branding and is not treated as the same entity name. Registries: ClinicalTrials.gov and ISRCTN returned no study titled BIOPATH; PubMed returned no BIOPATH+KCL paper (Apr 2026). HDR UK Innovation Gateway could not be queried in the verification environment (network failure). | Field-cited |
