Institutional Registry of Rare Diseases

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.

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.
