Reporting physicians

Reporting physicians recruit eligible patients and collect their data inside the EURAP software using a standardized Case Report Form (CRF). The data collection methodology requires that pregnant women are visited regularly during their pregnancy, in order to collect the data prospectively. During the course of the pregnancy, and the follow-up time after delivery, the participating physician enters data into five subforms (A-B-C-D-E) for each patient.

Before starting the patient’s enrollment, physicians need to obtain approval from the Ethics Committee of their institutions, and they should always gather two different informed consents from each patient before registering their data.
