Latest database descriptions

To analyse the regional differences between Guadeloupe and La Réunion in terms of contraceptive practice before and after abortion.

Surveillance and assessment of the risk of Graves' disease associated with drug or vaccine use in real life situations.

To form a usable database for hereditary ichthyosis on which to base future research projects, such as epidemiological, clinical (disease progression follow-up and onset of complications) physiopathological or therapeutic projects.

One of the key objectives of the registry is to improve the health surveillance system for hematological malignancies
locally in France:
- by analyzing incidence data of different types of hematological malignancies: description of the
frequency and distribution of each entity according to time, space and the characteristics of the
population,
- by producing reliable reference rates for helping the investigation of clusters,
- by monitoring the side effects of therapies (e.g.: secondary leukemia),
- by actively taking part in improving the surveillance system (expertise in the recording
of hematological malignancies; program for improving the recording of cases in France).

Clinical or evaluative epidemiology in the general population is also one of the registry's main objectives:
- evaluate practices, care pathways and streams, how these change over time and the impact
of practice standards on care quality and survival,
- estimate the relative survival and prevalence of hematological malignancies for the purposes of comparing with
other regions or countries and to estimate the resource needs of diagnosis and treatment
(chemotherapy, transplant, radiotherapy) - particularly for the elderly (high proportion of cases),
- evaluate the dissemination and impact of clinical research by assessing the applicability of therapeutic
trials and impact of therapeutic progress on the quantity/quality of life of patients,

The registry was designed from the outset as a tool for participating in - and even initiating - an
epidemiological research program on hematological malignancies in several fields. Descriptive epidemiology, ecological studies or case-control studies, studies on access to health care and prognostic studies in the population, multidisciplinary research with Human and Social Sciences).
