Official title
Institutional Registries of Rare Diseases at Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires (HIBA)
Overview
The goal of this observational study is to create a single macro registry system with data collection on common clinical features, grouping the different rare diseases (RD). Moreover, the specific goals are to generate an alert system for possible cases of RD with data from the electronic medical record, to describe the occurrence of RD in the evaluated population, to characterize the population, to describe patterns of diagnosis and treatment of RD present at the time, and to explore patient-reported outcomes.
Detailed description
Rare Diseases (RD) pose a health challenge due to their complexity and low prevalence, generating a burden in terms of morbidity and mortality and costs.
The fragmentation of data on these diseases makes it difficult to understand them comprehensively. Therefore, the creation of a macro institutional registry that brings together information on RD would facilitate research in this field.
The registries are organized systems of systematic data collection of a large number of patients quickly and efficiently on a particular disease at a given time.
The main difficulty of the registries is the guarantee of the quality of their data.
The main objectives of the registry are:
Understand risk factors and prognosis. Evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic comparison with current standards. Advance knowledge of the disease to optimize the assessment, treatment and monitoring of patients.
Analyze the effectiveness of new therapies. Studying differences between populations. Quickly estimate the morbidity, mortality and resource utilization associated with a disease entity.
Examine the course of a disease Formulate novel hypotheses for further prospective studies.
Primary outcome measures
- Overall Survival Rate [Time frame: From date of enrollment/ diagnosis until the date of death/ last follow up, assessed up to 5 years.]
- Mortality Rate [Time frame: From date of enrollment/ diagnosis until the date of death, assessed up to 5 years.]
- Time to First Treatment [Time frame: From date of diagnosis until the initiation of first treatment, assessed up to 12 months.]
- Demographic and Epidemiologic Profile [Time frame: At baseline, assessed at the time of enrollment.]
- Clinical Characteristics and Disease Progression [Time frame: From date of enrollment until the end of the study, assessed up to 5 years.]
- Treatment Modalities Received [Time frame: From the initiation of first treatment until the last recorded intervention, assessed up to 5 years.]
- Treatment Response [Time frame: From the initiation of treatment until documented disease progression or treatment cessation, assessed up to 5 years.]
- Incidence of Treatment-Related Adverse Events [Time frame: From the initiation of treatment until 12 months after the last dose, assessed up to 5 years.]
