The study Euro-HD-Registry now ready for data entry.
Technical issues
The site is delivering web pages with encryption using the SSL or TLS standard (e.g. the same standard commonly used
for online banking). This is recognized by an URL starting with https instead of http and involves the following three advantages:
- You can be sure that you are talking to the right server.
This means that you are transmitting data to and from the actual
Euro-HD-Network server.
- In combination with your password, the Euro-HD-Network server knows that you are the person that you claim to
be (except if somebody else knows your password, which should not be the case!)
- The data entered or viewed by you is transmitted in an encyrpted
manner. No one is able to spy on, tamper or track this information.
The pseudonymisation function is not case-sensitive . To ensure the creation of equal pseudonyms for identical
persons, please take care with the completeness und correctness of the
entered data. Always use respective language-specifc characters
like ñõüéßçÖÜ in their names.
It is possible to submit and store incomplete data and modify it as often as you want. All modifications are stored in a so-called audit
trail. However, incomplete forms or forms with implausible data cannot be electronically signed and therefore integrated into the monitoring process or intermediate evaluations. It is not possible to delete
total patients or visits. If you accidentally create a
patient with the wrong pseudonym or a wrong visit, get in contact with
your respective language coordinator and he or she will arrange for
the correction.
Content-related issues
The latest changes of the eCRF have been:
- The form Medical History (short History) has been split into three sub forms: Demographics (short Demo), Comorbid Conditions (short Comorbid) and the remaining one with the old name.
- The forms Demo, Comorbid and Medication are designed for ongoing data entry.
- The Demo form
has been adapted for the European population (e.g. ethnicity, education,
occupation) and extended (e.g. BMI, residence). For French
investigators some fields are hidden (e.g. ethnicity, occupation).
- Free-text
fields like drugs, diseases, frequency, occupation or
self-reported ethnicity will be coded into a common terminology like
WHO-DD, ICD-10 by the monitors from time to time.
- Some form are available in your native
language, others only in English. Please select your appropriate
language at the top of the web page. Error messages are still only
available in English but this will be translated in the near future.
