Registries & Cohorts
Observation of patient populations over a long period of time to gain a deeper understanding of the disease itself
Clinical studies in which patient populations are observed over a long period of time without testing an experimental treatment are called cohorts or registry studies. They serve to gain a deeper understanding of the disease itself, like risk factors and incidence, and are particularly relevant from an epidemiological perspective.
We are specialised in the multi-center data management required by these type of studies. Registries and cohorts are usually organized on a national or even international level. As a data center, we monitor the completeness and consistency of data collection with automatic reports and dynamic user interfaces. Because valuable conclusions can only be drawn if the data quality is high.
