Multinational Registries: Challenges and Opportunities: Addendum to Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes: A User’s Guide, Third Edition [Internet].

Multinational registries can provide valuable data to address multiple types of research objectives, but, in order to do so, they must be planned, designed, and operated with several special considerations in mind. While much of the information contained in the document, Registries for Evaluating Patient Outcomes: A User's Guide, applies to multinational registries, these registries face unique issues resulting from variations in treatment patterns, patient populations, cultural norms, and regulatory and ethical environments. The purpose of this paper is to discuss unique considerations for the planning and conduct of multinational registries, as well as explore the challenges with regards to operational, ethical, and regulatory considerations. Where appropriate, reference is made to other chapters in the User's Guide.
