Abstract

Background: The national multiple sclerosis (MS) registry is aimed at monitoring and improving quality of care and providing feedback to improve health outcomes by systematic recording of data. In 2018, the nationwide MS registry of Iran (NMSRI) was initiated for collecting epidemiological data and information on health care provision for patients with MS. The aim of the current study was to introduce the role of implementing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) scale-up registry protocol in NMSRI and arrange the national MS generality with information obtained during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The NMSRI group set up a program with crucial elements to collect the data of patients with MS who developed COVID-19. All MS cases with confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 were enrolled in this study. New elements were considered to be added into the dataset, including demographic characteristics, definite diagnosis of COVID-19 and its symptoms, history of comorbidities, history of medications and hospitalization, changes in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and infection outcomes. Results: The COVID-19 data collection program was designed in NMSRI to collect data of MS cases with COVID-19 infection. The data collection protocol was explained to neurologists through an online training workshop. To the date of the study, 21 centers from 17 provinces of Iran were involved in the COVID-19 databases promoting NMSRI and 612 participants were registered successfully. Conclusion: We extended an agreement on data collection and developed it in NMSRI with various contributors to discover a critical need for COVID-19 awareness and monitor clinical training in MS. © 2021 Iranian Neurological Association, and Tehran University of Medical Sciences Published by Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
