Introduction: The European Registries for Rare Bone and Mineral Conditions (EuRR-Bone) was created in collaboration with the European Reference Network on Rare Bone Diseases (ERN BOND) and the European Reference Network on Rare Endocrine Conditions (Endo-ERN) to support the needs of healthcare providers, patients and researchers by providing high-quality registries. The Core Registry collects a set of Core Data Elements as well as longitudinal patient and clinician-reported outcomes in condition-specific modules.

Aim: To describe the patient population and data entered in the EuRR-Bone Core Registry between April 2020 and December 2022.

Methods: Core Registry clinical contributors are invited to register new and existing cases of rare bone and mineral conditions mapped according to the Orphanet classification. A set of core data elements collects demographic and diagnosis data. Furthermore, condition-specific modules are available for clinicians and Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are available for patients to complete through the ‘patient platform’.

Results: Thirteen centres from 10 countries, of which 9 are based in Europe, have registered cases. Of 13 centres, 7 are joint ERN BOND and Endo-ERN members and 1 is Endo-ERN member only. To date, a total of 401 cases have been added to the Core Registry, 225 (56%) and 176 (44%) in the bone dysplasia and the calcium and phosphate condition group, respectively. Of 401 cases, 72 (18%) were within the age range 0-9 years, 48 (12%) 10-17 years and 280 (70%) over 18 years. The median age was 33 years (range 0-86). Of 401 cases, 336 (91%) were under active follow-up. Sixty-two (15%) had expressed interest in having access to the patient platform and of these 19 (31%) had an active account. Ninety-five PROMs outcomes had been completed, of which 55 were EQ-5D, 25 were WHO ICF (International Classification of Function and Disability) and 15 were BPI-SF (Brief Pain Inventory Short Form. Of 95, 90 (95%) were completed by clinicians and 5 by patients.

Conclusion: The Core Registry has proved its ability to collect clinician and patient-reported outcomes in patients of all ages. This makes the platform a suitable option for studying the natural history and long-term clinical outcomes of rare bone and mineral conditions. In order to increase participation, we should address the challenges healthcare professionals and patients might face to participate.
