ANALYSIS : MEDB AND MEDA/B COMBINATION CENTRES
Analysis: Med-B or Combination Med-B and Med-A Centres
Responding centres:
| A total of 6 centres responded in this category | 1 centre answered both surveys (Med-A only and the Med-B only or combination Med-B and Med-A survey). Different DMS within different teams (adult Vs Paediatric) completed the surveys. This further identifies that teams within centres complete different types of forms. |
Please specify why you use Med-B HSCT forms (e.g. for study data, for your own records):
Centre Response:
| To enter additional information into the EBMT database. |
| for EBMT study |
| To collect more study data than Med-A forms |
| For site/team records, information and reports. Colleagues sometimes request data regarding Allo patients that are only captured in Med-B forms, such as infection or GvHD related figures. I also find that Med-B items are quite often requested/included as part of EBMT studies and it would take longer to complete or check the work if it hadn’t already been captured at registration & Day 100. |
| Study data Centre outcomes. |
| Captures more data points than Med-A, which is helpful when completing research spreadsheets and for our own records. |
If only certain Med-B HSCT items are required, please list these:
Centre Response:
| Med-A items are required. The data manager chooses whether to enter Med-B HSCT information. |
| do,d100,follow up. |
| Autologous items are required but we do not do allografts so those are not required. |
| Virology, History fungal infection, Cell counts, Chimerism, Complications, Karnofsky. |
Approximately how many Med-B HSCT forms (irrespective of form type) do you complete or enter in 1 year?
Centre Response:
| Unknown |
| about 170*3 |
| 30 |
| Approx 50 |
| 140-150 Day 0 140-150 Day 100 All required follow ups from previous years |
| Approx 12 |
If Med-B HSCT forms cannot be entered for a period of time, what impact would this have on you as a centre? Please specify:
Centre Response:
| None. |
| can’t say exactly. |
| Not much as they could be completed on paper then submitted to the database thereafter. |
| It would make local data analysis more cumbersome. |
| We won’t have all data required for our centre outcomes and incoming studies. |
| It wouldn’t impact clinical staff as the data isn’t usually needed for anything in the immediate aftermath but it would create a backlog for myself as a data manager which would be time consuming to catch up with. |
Analysis: Non-Responding Centres
