Key result
The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis has developed six online patient registries to collect data on women's bleeding and thrombotic conditions during pregnancy.
Why the study?
Online registries are needed to collect data on rare or unclearly managed bleeding and thrombotic conditions in pregnancy to enhance understanding, identify knowledge gaps, and promote worldwide participation.
The ISTH has launched 6 international registries to collect data on rare bleeding and thrombotic conditions during pregnancy.
May enable longitudinal data capture on rare pregnancy hemostasis disorders; leaves open effects on clinical decision-making.
Online patient registries are used to collect data on clinical conditions with rare occurrence or unclear diagnostic and management practices. The success of these registries depends on clear definition of goals, correct identification of patient population/inclusion criteria, availability of appropriate setup and maintenance tools, and the quality of dissemination. The Scientific and Standardization Committee (SSC) for Women's Health Issues in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, one of 20 committees of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) has developed 6 registries for women's bleeding and thrombotic conditions over the past 2 years and are currently in various stages of progress. Here, we provide information about these registries, including rationale, objectives, and methods for data collection. The aim is to enhance worldwide participation and thus promote the success of these registries. We used ISTH REDCap, a mature and secure Web application for building and managing online surveys and databases, and the ISTH advertising platform to maximize participation. Registries (links and project details available on ISTH and Women's SSC Web sites) include: (1) WiTEAM, project on thrombophilia and placenta-mediated obstetric complications; (2) a registry for disseminated intravascular coagulation in pregnancy; (3) severe congenital protein C deficiency-an obstetric study; (4) obstetric and gynecologic outcomes of women with platelet function disorders; (5) thrombolysis and invasive treatments for massive pregnancy-related pulmonary embolism; (6) pregnancy and exposure to direct oral anticoagulants. The ISTH promotes online registries on women's issues to enhance understanding of current practices, identify knowledge gaps, promote research, and ultimately improve patient safety and quality of life.
