Title: Systemic Sclerosis & Related Disorders – Clinical Poster II

Session Type: Poster Session (Monday)

Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM

Background/Purpose: The Collaborative National Quality and Efficacy Registry (CONQUER) for Scleroderma is a multicenter US-based longitudinal study of patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) within 5 years of first non-Raynaud’s symptom. Supported by the Scleroderma Research Foundation, CONQUER is designed to provide linked bio-specimen and clinical outcomes data on a longitudinal cohort of SSc patients for validation of hypothesis driven research and to provide a platform for studying patient reported outcomes. The purpose of this analysis was to assess the effectiveness of guideline-based registry practices on database quality at 6 months.

Methods: The CONQUER registry was developed using the guidelines of the International Society for Biological Repositories. It was an iterative process between 13 physicians with an expertise in SSc, patient stakeholders, and information technology experts to ensure there is minimal missing data in 775 fields of data elements.

Results: During the first 6 months of the CONQUER Scleroderma study, 151 SSc patients with less than 5 years of disease duration (from first non-Raynaud’s symptom) were recruited. The mean age is 51 ± 14 years, 83% are female and 60% of patients have diffuse disease. Data completion is shown in Table 1. Survey completion rates are above 88% for all patient reported outcome surveys. Bio-specimen collection rates are over 97% and disease severity score completion rates are over 98%.

Conclusion: As demonstrated by data completion, the CONQUER study demonstrates the value of guideline-based registries that are designed by physicians, patients, and information technology experts. CONQUER is a unique and growing resource for studying SSc in a longitudinal, US-based population.

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
