Duchenne Electronic Health Record Study

Purpose

This study aims to collect retrospective and prospective, long-term data of patients with dystrophinopathy (including Duchenne, Becker, and female carriers) through electronic transfer. At select clinics across the United States, electronic health record (EHR) data from consented patients will be pushed into PPMD's Duchenne Outcomes Research Interchange (the Interchange), where the EHR data can be combined with patient-reported data from The Duchenne Registry. By combining this data in a central hub, we will gain a more complete picture of Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy, allowing researchers and clinicians to develop treatments faster and to improve and refine the standards of care for Duchenne and Becker. The ultimate goal is to optimize function, quality of life, and survival of Duchenne and Becker patients. EHR data collected will be fully identifiable retrospective data for core clinical data elements going back ten years (as available) from the date of consent; going back one year for retrospective clinical notes from the date of consent; and prospectively collecting both core clinical data elements and clinical notes. Information collected will align with the FHIR U.S. core data elements, also known as the Common Clinical Data Set. PPMD partnered with Prometheus Research (an IQVIA company), an industry leader in health data informatics, to launch both the EHR Study and the Interchange. All data is stored securely and in accordance with strict industry standards and patient privacy laws. Participation in the EHR data extraction is voluntary, and a patient can withdraw consent at any time.
