Data collection arrangements
The European Venous Registry (EVeR) will store observational data on adult patients with deep venous disease. The data collected will include baseline patient demographics (e.g., age, sex), quality of life metrics, details of treatments received (e.g., anticoagulation, venous stenting), and patient outcomes, such as treatment success, complications, and quality of life. This data will not interfere with or influence routine medical care, and no additional procedures or investigations are required.
Data collection will occur prospectively at clinical centers when patients are diagnosed and treated for deep venous disease. Members of the healthcare team (e.g., vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, nurses) or research nurses will identify and collect the data. Identifiable data (names, birthdates) will remain at the investigational sites and be replaced with a unique participant code for inclusion in the registry. The pseudonymized data will be encrypted for secure transfer and storage. The registry adheres to strict confidentiality policies, and access to the data is limited to authorized personnel.Research programme
The EVeR registry supports research programs aiming to evaluate the natural history, treatments, and outcomes for patients with deep venous disease. There are currently no comprehensive datasets in the UK or Europe for this patient population, despite the increasing use of new invasive interventions like venous stents and thrombectomy devices. The database was developed in collaboration with venous experts. It will address the need for real-world evidence on the safety and effectiveness of these interventions over the long term. Unlike small studies or restricted clinical trials, EVeR provides insights into treatments and outcomes in everyday clinical practice. The research community, including clinicians, scientists, and healthcare organizations, will benefit from this resource. The registry facilitates data sharing for studies with clear scientific merit and patient benefit, subject to rigorous review by the steering committee. By supporting collaborative research, EVeR aims to improve patient care and identify treatment trends across Europe. Findings will be shared through peer-reviewed publications, and annual reports ensuring broad dissemination of knowledge.
