New ISN Data Collection Initiative in Collaboration with Cambridge University for Kidney Patients with COVID-19
The ISN invites members to register patients affected by COVID on the new global COVID registry.
The ISN collaborated with the University of Cambridge to develop CORONATION, the Coronavirus multinational observational registry, a data entry portal accessible to nephrologists worldwide to collect anonymous data on individual people with kidney disease and the COVID-19 infection.
The initiative was led by Dr. Thomas Hiemstra (Nephrologist and Trials Methodologist, University of Cambridge; Chair, ISN-ACT Committee) and Dr. Fergus Caskey (Consultant Senior Lecturer, Bristol Medical School; Chair, SharE-RR; ISN Executive Committee Member) in response to the growing need to gather data to advocate for those with kidney disease, particularly in light of the significant impact the COVID-19 virus is having on those with non-communicable diseases.
