Dear friends,

I am happy to share with you exciting news about the Registry:

1. We are launching the new Reporting Tool (see factsheet below for the url and highlights).

Registry Fact-sheet

2. We have launched another round of ESID Registry Grants to financially support documenting centres for a 1-year period for up to 50,000 euros!

3. We plan to start or enhance the documentation of patients from Sweden, Spain, Italy, Russia and Israel.

4. We are working along with RITA and IPOPI on how to implement the European General Data Protection Rules (GDPR) in the ESID Registry frame.

5. During the Steering Committee face to face meeting, we decided to improve Level 1 documentation with the implementation of new fields regarding morbidities and treatments:
     1. Malignancies,
     2. Biological agents,
     3. Solid organ transplantation.

6. We have completed the considerable task of producing clinical diagnostic criteria in order to improve the quality of documentation. As per June 2018, all PID diagnoses have definitions for clinical diagnosis and registration. Please refer to: htpps://www.esid.org/Working-Parties/Registry/Diagnosis_Criteria. 

7. Although finances of the Registry are secure until the end of 2019, funding remains an important issue.

8. Congratulations to all authors!
