1 52nd Annual Scientific Meeting of the International Spinal Cord Society, Istanbul, Turkey, Successful International Collaborations (European EMSCI) - Clinician Perspective R. Rupp, M. Schubert

2 Aims of the EMSCI-consortium Setup of a clinical database and infrastructure for interventional studies (Anti-Nogo, Novartis; stem cells, Stem Cell Inc.) Introduction of a standardized assessment scheme including examination and follow-up time schedule Establishment of a comprehensive database for quantification of recovery within first year after SCI Merging of individual data bases of several centers to a common, central database Possibility of statistical analysis of a large number of datasets in respect to prognosis, trends, benchmarking etc. Curt A, Schwab ME, Dietz V, Spinal Cord 42(1), 2004

5 Standardized multicenter assessment ASIA Impairment ASIA light touch ASIA pin prick ASIA motor WISCI Timed up and go 10m Test 6min Test SCIM II SSEP MEP MNCV Standardized assessment of - neurological, - neurophysiological and - functional status of individuals after acute - traumatic or - ischemic + Time Schedule for 1 year follow-up Days after Injury SCI Five, in relation to date of injury fixed assessment periods (2, 4, 12, 24, 48 weeks)

6 Course of spontaneous recovery Data from (03/13) patients available Maximal neurological recovery in first 3 month Functional improvements delayed to neurological recovery (rehabilitation) Different patterns of recovery depending on lesion level Curt A, Van Hedel HJ, Klaus D, Dietz V, EM-SCI Study Group: Recovery from a spinal cord injury: significance of compensation, neural plasticity, and repair, J Neurotrauma 25(6), , 2008.

8 Overview EMSCI datasets Number of EMSCI datasets ( > in dark blue) Patients ASIA LT ASIA PP ASIA MS SCIM23 WISCI TUG 10m 6min per per SEP MEP NCV Schmerz Pain Overall 2,855 patients (10/13) documented

10 Introduction of core sets

11 Number of core sets

12 Overview of EMSCI-centers 21 EMSCI-centers 15 active* centers (8 D, 2 CH, 2 ES, 1 UK, 1 NL 1 CZ) Bad Wildungen - Barcelona - Bayreuth - Glasgow - Halle - Heidelberg Hessisch-Lichtenau - Langensteinbach - Murnau - Nijmegen Nottwil - Prague - Toledo - Ulm - Zürich 6 passive centers Bochum - Garches Sion Tübingen Frankfurt Hamburg 1 future center Rome * Active centers provide core sets of more than 5 patients per year

13 Incentives for clinicians Financial compensation per complete core set (until 2009) Datasets needed for specific research question available on request in active centers Project management gives approval to specific research questions EMSCI-Study group as coauthor in publications mainly based on EMSCI-data (Co-)authorship of PIs / staff of the 4 centers providing the majority of datasets used for the specific publication

14 Incentives for clinicians

15 Maintaining a high level of data quality Processes within the project Processes within the centers Documentation Documentation Feedback of data manager Feedback of centers Internal center feedback

16 Motivation for certification of the EMSCI network Merging of single databases with an equivalent quality standard Establishment of a common quality management within the network Improvement of data quality with the aim of 100% error-free data or at least maintaining the level of quality with less resources Optimal management of the interface between participating centers Transparency of processes, responsibilities and decisions between the coordinating centers and the participating centers (Additional) Quality criterion in publications

17 Quality in EMSCI is, when the sponsors come back and not the data!

18 Maintaining data quality - electronic EMSCI-database Personal data Scheduling Reports Assessment data Structured entry of patient and tests data Online-plausability check of data Scheduling functions Identification of missing tests data Freezing of datasets Standard reports Designed for multicenter use De-centralized data storage and automated export of anonymized datasets Data archiving and administration in coordination center Rupp R., Schweidler J., Curt A., Dietz V., Gerner H.J.: An electronic tool for multi-center administration, assessment and analysis of clinical trials in spinal cord injury, Biomed Tech 50, Suppl 1, Part 2, , 2005

19 Computational algorithm for ISNCSCI classification Computational algorithm for determination of - Neurological Level (NL) - Motor levels (ML) - Sensory levels (SL) - Zones of Partial Preservation (ZPPs) - Complete/ Incomplete - Impairment Scale (AIS)

20 Maintaining data quality internal quality control Regular (at least annually, better quaterly) reports from central EMSCI-database coordinator Regular internal audits Continuous plausibility checks

21 Maintaining data quality - exchange of information Annual regular EMSCI-newsletter Annual EMSCI-meeting with presentations about current state and progress in data acquisition and research results and ideas Regular (2x-3x per year) ISNCSCI instructional courses in Heidelberg Analysis of ISNCSCI Pre-Post-Tests N= Schuld et al.: Effect of formal training in scaling, scoring and classification of the International Standards for Neurological Classification of Spinal Cord Injury, Spinal Cord 51,
