WBDRは、血友病患者(PWH)およびフォン・ヴィレブランド病(VWD)患者の標準化された臨床データを収集する唯一のグローバルレジストリです。このレジストリに参加している血友病治療センター(HTC)の大規模ネットワークにウェブベースのデータ入力プラットフォームを提供し、データの収集と管理を行っています。
WBDRは、この5年間、PWHのデータを収集してきました。2023年の初めには、世界血友病連盟(WFH)がWBDR VWDモジュールを立ち上げ、VWDの診断と管理、およびVWD患者の健康状態の転帰に関するデータを収集する初のグローバルレジストリを開設しています。WBDRのデータは、エビデンスに基づくアドボカシーや研究のため、そして臨床現場の改善を進める上で大変貴重です。
WBDRは、世界中の出血性疾患患者のケアを向上させる重要なデータ収集ツールです。
WBDRへの参加をご検討の場合、HTCは以下の基準を満たす必要があります。
貴HTCがWBDRへの参加にご興味をお持ちの場合は、WFH([email protected]宛て)に電子メールを送付してください。現地機関または保健省から倫理審査の承認を取得する手順をご案内します。
HTCが倫理審査の承認を取得したら、データ入力を担当する予定の者は、患者登録開始前にWBDRのデータ入力トレーニングを受講しなくてはなりません。
International Data Integration Program(国際データ統合プログラム)では、既存の出血性疾患レジストリのリソースを集約し、既存の患者レジストリからWBDRへのデータ転送を推進することによって、現存のデータの有用性を最大限活用できるようになります。このプログラムは、自国のデータを提供しWBDRで示すことによって、この世界的な活動に参加することを希望する国が利用できます。詳細についてはWFH([email protected])へお問い合わせください。
WBDRに参加すれば、この重要なリソースの構築と将来の世界的な出血性疾患治療の改善に出血性疾患患者(PWBD)の皆さまが積極的な役割を果たすことができます。あなたがPWBDか介護者であり、WBDRへの登録に関心がおありでしたら、通院中のHTCに連絡を取り、WBDRへの参加について尋ねてみてください。
WBDRデータベースでは、人口統計、診断および臨床領域に及ぶ血友病とフォン・ヴィレブランド病(VWD)のデータセットを扱っています。
WBDRは、血友病のデータセットを対象として2018年に開設されました。2023年の初めにはVWDのデータセットが追加となり、VWD患者の登録が開始されました。このレジストリでは、5つの機能評価尺度と1つのQOL(生活の質)評価尺度を使用しています。
WBDRに保存するあらゆる患者情報は匿名化され機密保持の対象となります。Health Solutionsのデータ取扱い方針ガイドラインは、CEマーク(Conformité Européenne。EUの基準に適合していることを表示するマーク)と英国IGSoC(Information Governance Statement of Compliance[情報ガバナンス コンプライアンス声明])基準をともに固守し、一般データ保護規則(GDPR)に準拠しています。
WBDR 2023 データ報告書には、血友病治療センター(HTC)119施設と44カ国の血友病患者およびVWD患者14,342名のデータが含まれています。WBDRのデータを発表物、出版物またはその他の研究資料の中で利用する場合は、WFHのクレジットを表示してください。
過去の報告書(英語のみ):
WFHは、3種類のWBDRプログラムを提供し、HTCがWBDRデータを使用して品質データを収集し、調査研究を実施できるようにしています。
WBDRは、包括的なデータ品質認定(Data Quality Accreditation:DQA)プログラムを提供しています。このプログラムには、堅固なデータクリーニングや検証プロセスが含まれており、これによりデータの完全性、精度、整合性が強化されています。WBDRのデータ品質チームはすべてのHTCと協力して、収集されたデータの品質に関するトレーニングやフィードバックを行っています。
WBDR研究支援プログラム(Research Support Program:RSP)は、WBDR HTCが自身のWBDRデータを収集し、分析し、使用するよう、HTCへの動機づけや支援を促す目的で設計されています。データ収集経験の少ない国々がWBDRに参加し、研究やアドボカシーに自身のデータを使用できるよう勧めることを目標としています。
WBDR HTC資金援助プログラム(HTC Funding Program:HFP)は、低所得国および低中所得国のWBDR HTCでのデータ収集作業を支援するために資金提供する目的で設計されています。このプログラムでは、HTCの患者登録状況を改善し、入力データの品質と完全性が向上するよう支援することをめざしています。
WBDRでのデータ入力に関する詳細について、WBDRの参加HTCは以下の文書をご参照いただくことをお勧めします(英語のみ)。
myWBDR(マイWBDR)は、血友病および/またはフォン・ヴィレブランド病(VWD)であると診断され、世界出血性疾患レジストリ(WBDR)に登録された患者さんを対象として設計されたモバイルアプリです。使いやすいプラットフォームで、出血エピソード、痛みの程度、治療、EQ-5D-5LやPROBEの質問票による全般的健康状態を簡単に記録し、モニタリングすることができます。
何かご不明な点がございましたら、WBDRのよくある質問(FAQ)をご覧いただくか、WFH([email protected])へお問い合わせください。
WBDRチーム([email protected])へご連絡ください。
ご自身のデータの共有を快く受け入れてくださった出血性疾患患者の皆さま:世界中の出血性疾患患者さん(PWBD)のケアの質の向上にご協力いただきありがとうございます。
WBDR HTCの皆さま:個々のデータがWBDRのデータ品質基準に合致するよう参加HTCでご尽力くださっている皆さまに心より御礼申し上げます。
WFHは、当連盟がこの重要な活動を継続して展開できるよう多くの金銭的ご支援をくださいましたスポンサーの皆さまに、厚く御礼申し上げます。WBDRは、以下の皆さまから資金提供をいただいております。

Recognizing that training women leaders ensures the diversity our community need to thrive; the Hemophilia Alliance has been a longtime supporter of the Susan Skinner Memorial Fund. They deepened their engagement with the global community through the establishment of the Travel Grant Program, which allows US-based multidisciplinary healthcare professionals the opportunity to attend WFH global training workshops. The wealth of experience and perspective attendees bring back home to their communities helps patients across the country. Their patience and support as we grappled with changing norms in these challenging times gave us the flexibility to meet our community’s needs with revamped programming.

Hemophilia of Georgia has stood with us for over three decades, playing an early role in distributing donated factor via the WFH Humanitarian Aid program. Our relationship has deepened over the years as they continued to support this program and came on board as a founding Chapter Challenge champion in 2016. Their belief in educating future leaders is clear in their investment in the Youth Leadership Workshops, which has led to the training of over 50 young adults. They also support workshops devoted to educating providers and patient leaders on how to collect and use data to advocate for better patient care. Their staff generously volunteer their time as trainers and as well as serving on various committees.
The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation helps advance our mission on several fronts. They inspire others to follow their lead as a founding champion of the NHF Chapter Challenge. Their commitment to equality of access is demonstrated in their support of the Cornerstone Initiative, which lays the foundation for care in the world's most underserved regions, as well as programs that aim to raise awareness and improve care of women with bleeding disorders and those with von Willebrand disease. We also benefit from their steadfast engagement with various programs including the WFH Twinning Program and their individual leaders’ contribution to our leadership and committees.

The outcomes of interest collected by the WBDR include demographic characteristics, clinical and treatment-related outcomes, burden of disease outcomes, and patient-reported outcomes.
The WBDR includes five functional scales as part of its extended data set:
The WBDR Minimal Data Set (MDS) is a set of data on demographics, diagnosis, symptoms and treatment which are collected on patients participating in the WBDR.
The WBDR Extended Data Set (EDS) is a larger set of data, with more details than the MDS, which includes questions on patient demographics, diagnosis, symptoms, treatment and burden of disease. The EDS can be used by hemophilia treatment centers to collect data on patients participating in the WBDR. The WBDR Extended Data Set (EDS), was added to the database in March 2019.

WFHは、重症血友病A患者であるカナダの実業家フランク・シュナーベル(Frank Schnabel)によって1963年に設立されました。シュナーベルは、患者団体が協力することでさらに効果的に、すなわち出血性疾患患者の利益を代表するためにもっと多くの活動ができると考えました。1963年6月25日にデンマークのコペンハーゲンで第1回WFH世界会議が開催され、12カ国の代表が出席しました。現在、WFHとNMOの世界的ネットワークは、152 カ国の血友病その他の遺伝性出血性疾患患者の利益を代表しています。
