    Abstract: Identification of MS registries and databases that are currently in use in Europe as well as a detailed knowledge of their content and structure is important in order to facilitate comprehensive analysis and comparison of data. Methods: National MS registries or databases were identified by literature search, from the results of the MS Barometer 2011 and by asking 33 national MS societies. A standardized questionnaire was developed and sent to the registries’ leaders, followed by telephone interviews with them. Results: Twenty registries were identified, with 13 completing the questionnaire and seven being interviewed by telephone. These registries differed widely for objectives, structure, collected data, and for patients and centres included. Despite this heterogeneity, common objectives of the registries were epidemiology ( n=10), long-term therapy outcome ( n=8), healthcare research ( n=9) and support/basis for clinical trials ( n=8). While physician-based outcome measures (EDSS) are used in all registries, data from patients’ perspectives were only collected in six registries. Conclusions: The detailed information on a large number of national MS registries in Europe is a prerequisite to facilitating harmonized integration of existing data from MS registries and databases, as well as comprehensive analyses and comparison across European populations.

    Abstract: ABSTRACT ObjectivesEUReMS (European Register for Multiple Sclerosis), a project including more than ten national and regional European MS registers, is aiming to enable analyses across European registers by joining existing, heterogeneous MS data in four different studies. Each participating register delivered productive data comprising information on socio-demography, disease course, medical exams or treatment. In terms of data quality, especially comparability and integrity, a data handling routine has been implemented using an open source ETL (extract transform load) tool (“Talend Open Studio”) to process the large amounts of heterogeneous raw data. That approach will be presented. ApproachAs a first step in harmonizing datasets of different registers, a basic EUReMS data structure was defined for each of the four project studies, considering all information required to answer the research questions. Through the data handling process, the data exports are going to be converted into the prior defined study data structure to facilitate comparability and data analyses across the various registers participating in one study. In regard to quality assurance the data handling process has been validated before providing data for analyses. ResultsThe data handling process consists of five steps: Reading/Splitting, Cleaning, Mapping and Creating Study Datasets. During the first step, data is read and split into variables that are going to be used within the study datasets. The heterogeneity of the data is again noticeable in the data types of the source files, ranging from csv or Excel to Access Database. During the cleaning step, data is checked for incorrect or missing values and are, as a way of ensuring traceability, saved in specific reject files. In the mapping step, register specific variables are mapped to the defined EUReMS denotations. By that, the heterogeneous data is harmonized, disabling misinterpretation of register specific variables, often in national language or unfamiliar abbreviations. The data is merged into study datasets that are uniform in appearance for each study and are provided to the statistical department for analyses in order to gain insight on disease related questions. ConclusionThe implemented process enables the transparent, standardised and reproducible handling of heterogeneous data and is the groundwork for analyses across the various MS registers. Though it is a time-consuming task at the first implementation, we have been able to harmonise the heterogeneous data successfully.

    Abstract: Multiple Sclerosis is the most common disease in young adults affecting the central nervous system. Disease may progress with acute attacks (relapsing MS ) or continuously (progressive MS ). Glucocorticosteroids are used in the treatment of acute attacks. The aim of this study was to analyse characteristics of patients with MS , and their influence on current treatment patterns of relapses with glucocorticosteroids. Design In 2001, the G erman N ational MS S ociety initiated the G erman MS ‐ R egistry. Patients with relapsing MS were included ( n  = 5106) from this registry. Logistic regression models were used to detect trends over time. The likelihood of administration of steroids is modelled in dependence of calendar year and in dependence to confounders in treatment conditions. The sample size allows that odds ratios can be detected with a power of 90% (alpha = 0·05). Results Administration of glucocorticosteroids was influenced by EDSS ( P   〈  0·0001), age ( P   〈  0·0001) and disease duration ( P   〈  0·0001). Therapy administration in an outpatient setting was more likely in patients with higher EDSS ( P   〈  0·0001) and longer disease duration ( P   〈  0·0001). The utilization of glucocorticosteroids increased with higher EDSS for all relapsing patients. Interestingly, all overutilization of glucocorticosteroids decreased over time and was accompanied by a steadily increased administration of emergent therapeutics. Although there are about 70% of registered patients with relapsing MS on immune‐modulatory treatment, almost 60% of them received glucocorticosteroids for treatment of relapses. Conclusions Treatment patterns with glucocorticosteroids in patients with MS are influenced mainly by EDSS and disease duration. The decline in the utilization of glucocorticosteroids is accompanied by an increase in natalizumab treatment.

    Abstract: In den letzten 10 Jahren wurden in Deutschland mehrere neuroimmunologische Register aufgebaut. Grundlegendes Ziel ist es, mehr über den Verlauf der entsprechenden Erkrankung, insbesondere unter therapeutischen Bedingungen, oder auch Nebenwirkungen eingesetzter Immuntherapeutika zu erfahren, im besten Fall prädiktive Marker zu identifizieren. Sechs dieser Register möchten wir im folgenden Artikel vorstellen. Das Deutsche Netzwerk zur Erforschung autoimmuner Enzephalitiden (GENERATE) mit mehr als 40 beteiligten Zentren und 570 dokumentierten Patienten (Stand September 2016) sammelt klinische Daten und Biomaterialien von Patienten mit autoimmunen Enzephalitiden mit bekannten und unbekannten Antikörpern. Es koordiniert und vermittelt die Verbindung zwischen Wissenschaftlern und Klinikern und dient als Plattform zur Entwicklung gemeinsamer Leitlinien und Prozeduren. Die NeuroMyelitis Optica Studiengruppe (NEMOS) hat ein nationales Register für Patienten mit Neuromyelitis optica und Neuromyelitis optica Spektrum-Erkrankungen aufgebaut. Am Register sind neben 22 Kliniken der Maximalversorgung auch 17 regionale Krankenhäuser und etliche Praxen beteiligt, aktuell sind etwa 250 Patienten erfasst. Mit „NationNMO“ baut NEMOS derzeit innerhalb des Kompetenznetzes Multiple Sklerose eine prospektive Kohorte auf. Die besten Behandlungsstrategien sowohl für akute Schübe als auch deren Prophylaxe stehen im Fokus der aktuellen Forschungsarbeit von NEMOS. Das Kompetenznetz Multiple Sklerose hat eine multizentrische, prospektive Kohortenstudie für therapienaive Patienten mit klinisch isoliertem Syndrom (KIS) und früher schubförmiger Multipler Sklerose (MS) initiiert (NationMS), mit dem Ziel der langfristigen Beobachtung und klinischer wie paraklinischer Charakterisierung der Patienten. Von August 2010 bis Dezember 2014 wurden in 22 universitären und nicht-universitären Zentren 1212 Patienten in die NationMS-Kohorte eingeschlossen, von denen standardisierte klinische Daten, Biomaterial und MRT-Bilddaten asserviert wurden. Die Deutsche Multiple Sklerose Gesellschaft, Bundesverband e. V. begann 2001 die Etablierung eines MS-Registers als ein Langzeitprojekt, um eine einheitliche, verlässliche Übersicht über die MS-Erkrankung in Deutschland zu erhalten. Nach einer umfassenden Revision im Jahre 2014 ist nun das primäre Ziel, ein dauerhaftes Datenrepositorium für die Versorgungsforschung zu etablieren, welches die Erfassung, Speicherung und Bereitstellung von Daten von MS-Erkrankten über Jahrzehnte gewährleistet und somit die Darstellung von Langzeitverläufen ermöglicht. In über 170 deutschlandweiten Zentren konnten bisher mehr als 48 000 Patienten eingeschlossen werden. Ebenfalls vom Kompetenznetz Multiple Sklerose wurde Anfang 2013 das Immuntherapieregister REGIMS initiiert. Primäres Ziel von REGIMS ist die Erfassung der Inzidenz, Art und Eigenschaft von unerwünschten Ereignissen aktueller und zukünftiger Immuntherapeutika in der Behandlung von Patienten mit einer gesicherten MS-Diagnose oder KIS-Patienten. Zum 01.01.2017 umfasste das Register 36 aktive Zentren mit über 700 eingeschlossenen Patienten. Das Deutsche Multiple Sklerose und Kinderwunschregister (DMSKW) hat das Ziel, Sicherheitsinformationen zur Exposition mit immunmodulierenden Therapien in der Schwangerschaft zu gewinnen. Neben Sicherheitsaspekten interessieren auch der Verlauf der MS in der Schwangerschaft und postpartum, sowie die Identifikation modifizierbarer Schubrisikofaktoren. In das DMSKW konnten bisher 1500 Schwangerschaften eingeschlossen werden, pro Jahr kommen mindestens 250 prospektiv verfolgte Schwangerschaften hinzu. Alle in diesem Artikel vorgestellten Register leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Erforschung verschiedener neuroimmunologischer Erkrankungen. Viele Kollegen, sowohl in der Klinik als auch in der Praxis, unterstützen die hier vorgestellten Register. Ziel ist es, den Verlauf und den Einfluss therapeutischer Entscheidungen besser zu verstehen, aber auch die Beratung und Versorgung dieser Patienten zu verbessern.

    Abstract: The aim of the German Medical Informatics Initiative is to establish a national infrastructure for integrating and sharing health data. To this, Data Integration Centers are set up at university medical centers, which address data harmonization, information security and data protection. To capture patient consent, a common informed consent template has been developed. It consists of different modules addressing permissions for using data and biosamples. On the technical level, a common digital representation of information from signed consent templates is needed. As the partners in the initiative are free to adopt different solutions for managing consent information (e.g. IHE BPPC or HL7 FHIR Consent Resources), we had to develop an interoperability layer. Methods First, we compiled an overview of data items required to reflect the information from the MII consent template as well as patient preferences and derived permissions. Next, we created entity-relationship diagrams to formally describe the conceptual data model underlying relevant items. We then compared this data model to conceptual models describing representations of consent information using different interoperability standards. We used the result of this comparison to derive an interoperable representation that can be mapped to common standards. Results The digital representation needs to capture the following information: (1) version of the consent, (2) consent status for each module, and (3) period of validity of the status. We found that there is no generally accepted solution to represent status information in a manner interoperable with all relevant standards. Hence, we developed a pragmatic solution, comprising codes which describe combinations of modules with a basic set of status labels. We propose to maintain these codes in a public registry called ART-DECOR. We present concrete technical implementations of our approach using HL7 FHIR and IHE BPPC which are also compatible with the open-source consent management software gICS. Conclusions The proposed digital representation is (1) generic enough to capture relevant information from a wide range of consent documents and data use regulations and (2) interoperable with common technical standards. We plan to extend our model to include more fine-grained status codes and rules for automated access control.
