REGISTRY ORGANIZATION

The EURAP registry is a dynamic system that is continuously updated.

Online reporting of pregnancies from either Reporting physicians or National coordinators to the Central registry is achieved with the use of a unique and shared web-based database that was specifically designed for the project. The key element of this system is represented by electronic Case Report Forms (CRFs) that facilitate data collection, data storage, and online transmission through the web-based platform.

A direct communication and intensive interaction are thus established between the EURAP reporting physicians and the Central Registry. This translates into efficient enrolment and follow-up of cases on an international basis.

Reporting physicians and National Coordinators can access only their restricted section of the EURAP central database, by means of a personal account protected by their User ID and Password.

NOTE: Though we strongly encourage the use of the EURAP software, in some cases, reporting physicians can also collect patient’s data using an official paper version/format of the standard CRFs. In that case, the reporting physician should use a secure postal service to send such paper CRFs to its National coordinator, who will then use the web-based platform to enter and transmit such data to the Central Registry. For privacy/data protection reasons, the Central registry is not allowed to receive directly the paper CRFs containing patient’s data.
