Patient registry

    In Trial design & structure

    A patient registry is an organized collection of data about people with a particular condition, exposure, or treatment, gathered over time for a defined purpose. Registries support safety monitoring, natural-history research, and quality improvement. They are observational, so people are not assigned to any treatment.
