Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy (FSHD) Core Dataset
The TREAT-NMD Core Dataset for FSHD supports patient registries to collect robust longitudinal data which capture natural history and inform standards of care.
Please read the notes before viewing the dataset:
- The dataset is for all registries collecting data on individuals with FSHD (clinician/patient/dual reported).
- A mandatory data item in the core dataset means that registries must include it in their data collection forms and be able to store and provide the data; even if the data is not always available for all individuals.
- Personal identifying information on patients will never be requested nor accepted as part of a data submission to TREAT-NMD.
- This is a minimum core dataset; registries may collect additional items of local interest or relevance.
- TREAT-NMD is an inclusive network. If registries are not able to implement any mandatory items, they are encouraged to identify support needs, and/or a plan to work towards their inclusion, and discuss with us.
