@neurIST : Informatique biomédicale intégrée Pour la Gestion Des anévrismes cérébraux
University Hospital, Geneva
Summary
The primary aim of the SwissNeuroFoundation AneurysmDataBase Project is to implement information technology based tools to create and use a holistic reference database specific to intracranial aneurysms (IA). The SwissNeuroFoundation AneurysmDataBase are concerned with generating the data with which to populate this database. The purpose for populating the database are to: * Screen for and evaluate markers of risk for intracranial aneurysm formation and aneurysm rupture. Are considered as markers the following: genetics factors, microbiota, environmental factors, congenital factors (ie: cerebrovascular anatomical variants), transcriptomics signature, proteomics signature,shape characteristics, haemodynamics characteristics. * Screen for and evaluate prognostic factors of outcome regarding different management strategies including watchful observation, microsurgical treatment, endovascular treatment or any combination thereof. * Implement and evaluate patient-specific management protocols integrating all available information. * Evaluate the impact of the database and use of tools to improve care, reduce costs, support knowledge discovery and promote new industrial developments.
Description
Clinical history, imaging data, biological samples and information derived from are the main items to be captured to the SwissNeuroFoundation AneurysmDataBase. No limits are set on the number of healthy volunteers and patient cases for whom data can be entered to the SwissNeuroFoundation AneurysmDataBase. Participants will be recruited from the following sources: * Patients arriving at partner clinical centers either as newly diagnosed (incidental cases) or already known for the disease (prevalent cases) * Healthy volunteers answering a call, randomly selected subjects from a known populatio…
