1 How Registries can be used to improve trans-national care Initial Funding FP6, 100,000 Euros per annum EuroCareCF Post FP6 Follow up support: 100,000 Euros per annum Unrestricted Grants: Pharma Blue areas: ECFS Registry Dr Anil Mehta has no conflicts or disclosures to declare:

2 Registries Used To COMBAT Disparities in Health Outcomes Origins of the common cystic fibrosis (CF) gene mutant KEY FACT 1: this only happened once, in 1 baby and yet today we have 1:60 carriers in Europe Patterns if you inherit 2 mutants i.e. the CF Population KEY FACT 2: Lack of universal screening at birth, Cost to Europe in lost Parental Productivity Use of Registry to influence policy Die with dignity in full publicity, not silently Gather the best evidence, through registries (Lancet)

3 This baby was a super-survivor against common childhood killers Common Mutation in the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene KEY FACT 1: Only once in human history was a baby was born with 3 adjacent DNA base pairs missing in 1 gene on 1 chromosome 7 Patterns of double carriers i.e. the CF Population KEY FACT 2: Lack of universal screening at birth, Cost to Europe in lost Parental Productivity How can patients fight back against injustice? Die with dignity in full publicity, not silently

5 Over generations, the CF F508del-CFTR gene carriers became enriched F508del DF 508 CFTR Picture from DN Sheppard (Bristol) F508del Fibrogenicum s Offspring Out survive Fellow babies FROM 1 INFANT CHILD F508del En passant 1:60 Healthy EU-carrier Citizens Today All offspring inheriting two copies when carriers mated died for years

8 Interpreting the CF profile of Europe Common Mutation in the cystic fibrosis (CF) gene KEY FACT 1: this only happened once, in 1 baby and yet today we have 1:60 carriers in Europe Divergent patterns of these doubly inherited mutations KEY FACT 2: Lack of universal screening at birth, Does it matter if a child with CF turns up already damaged? Registries again give us an answer How can patients fight back against injustice? Die with dignity in full publicity, not silently Gather the best evidence, through registries (Lancet)

9 Australian experience Newborn screening, yes 75% alive Dijk FN, et al. Improved survival in cystic fibrosis patients diagnosed by newborn screening compared to a historical cohort from the same centre. Archives of disease in childhood. 2011;96(12): No screening 50% Alive 25 years later

11 Does it cost less not to screen In years 1-7? Newborn screening, yes 75% alive No screening 50% Alive 25 years later

12 100 babies $500 screened >$25,000 p.a. $500-$5000 If unscreened 50:50 split In costs Per-Patient annual cost in US Dollars Sims et al Lancet 2007 Cover Feature Per-Patient annual cost in US Dollars

13 Registries Used To Measure Disparities in Health Outcomes Origins of the common cystic fibrosis (CF) gene mutant KEY FACT 1: this only happened once, in 1 baby and yet today we have 1:60 carriers in Europe Patterns of double carriers i.e. the CF Population KEY FACT 2: Lack of universal screening at birth, Cost to Europe in lost Parental Productivity Can we use this Registry Data to influence policy? How can our experience help you in your goals?

14 How did we get the data? The old way NO EPR patients attended for full day assessment - Annual Review Results handwritten, summary dictated by Consultant and then typed by secretaries.delay Clinic letters and discharge summaries dictated and typed Standard data forms to get the data into analytic audit Excel spread sheet in Registry/Audit

15 In EPR system introduced in Adult CF Unit: Dr Daniel Peckham s new way I N T E G R A T I O Electronic patient record system N Clinical audit programme Improved standards of patient care and outcomes Increased service efficiency

16 Daniel Peckham s key foundations EPR AUDIT Code & structure Defining terms in Snomed CT Talking same language Linking EPR systems Quality, Safety, Better Care

17 Seminar Room all WRs done using EMIS MDT office shared space with full access to EMIS Clinic rooms Seacroft and St James s The Adult ward all the Team use EMIS to run the ward

19 Daniel has entered the lion s den : his Future??? Leeds CF services moving from PCS to EMIS WEB 5/2014. Testing web for General respiratory medicine / Bronchiectasis / TB / Asthma / PCD: Multi disease platform TODAY AS I SPEAK: Trial in Manchester and Trial in Sheffield Data retrieval and data transfer now much easier.

20 Qu how many of your CF patients have arthritis and what is the pattern of inflammation? Answer 5 min 35 patients 6 Rheumatoid 29 CF related Arthritis Sex distribution Age distribution Any genotype or phenotype data available for export.

21 FP6: value for money Whatever disease you work on AT AN EU Level: Web-based software Open source Flexible add-on modules Easy interface EU level SOLVED: data entry, transmission, error reporting and data extraction European Data Protection compliant Remote Robust Transparent management standards publically available

22 ECFS working with the SME Open App

23

24 The vision needs 3 steps 1 Data-Ethics (New Regulations) De-identification Software 2 Research-ready Data SAFE Re-assembly 3 The future Is here

25 In summary by building such Data Safes Good Data : Policy : EU Health An ancient debt is owed by healthy European Taxpayers That debt can be affordably repaid Screen at birth, give every 4000 th baby a chance Make best practice the normal practice, trans-nationally Registry based evidence base published in Lancet ( ) New EPR software now being rolled out Integrate audit with care with EPR but code carefully This is transformational science from DNA/genetics to Politics and health care:

26 EuroCareCF SKILL MIX TO BUILD CF-SAFE IS READY We have assembled a team who know how to anonymise the data Two SMEs who know data linkage and project management ECFS as a support network (through screening and genetics) H2020, application submitted..pending CF-Safe as a virtual tool i.e. with Cloud-safe Analytics See Findacure.org and

34 Go to stored blood spot cards Literature on incidence Neonatal screening for cystic fibrosis is beneficial even in the context of modern treatment: 2 months of age is latest to start therapy CDC Atlanta, J Pediatrics: Volume 147, Issue 3, Supplement, Pages S42-S46, September 2005 CDC Atlanta/WHO/Australia Many papers: Michael and Philip Farrell

35 You need fewer drugs for the same outcome If you screen at birth.. Sims et al The Lancet, Volume 369, Issue 9568, Pages , 2007 : % FEV1/FVC UNSCREENED Clinical Diagnosis IF WE USE LUNG DISEASE AS AN OUTCOME Drug number intensity $4500 Screened Diagnosis

40 All Europe patients ALL CF 98% can be diagnosed by 15 years PROVIDED healthcare is good 44% ommon Type 2% turn up as adults
