European Registries for Rare Endocrine Conditions (EuRRECa)

EuRRECa is aimed at maximising the opportunity for all patients, health care professionals and researchers to participate and use high quality, patient-centred registries for rare endocrine conditions covered within the European Reference Network on Rare Endocrine Conditions (Endo-ERN).

EuRRECa, launched in February 2018, will achieve its aim by running an e-reporting programme (e-rec), developing a new core endocrine registry that collects a core dataset that also includes objective markers of clinical outcome and, lastly, by signposting participants to high-quality, detailed, disease-specific and patient-centred registries that have been evaluated by EuRRECa.

The EuRRECa project is led by Faisal Ahmed, (WP5) Registries, data management and analysis chair within Endo-ERN and will be heavily linked to the core activities of Endo-ERN.
