Rare diseases (RDs) bear a significant challenge to individuals, healthcare systems, and societies. The European reference network on Rare BONe diseases (ERN BOND) is committed to improving multidisciplinary, patient-centred care for individuals with rare bone and mineral diseases (RBMDs). Its affiliated project, the European registries for rare bone and mineral conditions (EuRR-Bone) collects data using two different platforms, an electronic surveillance system (e-REC) that captures the occurrence of RBMDs and the Core Registry, a platform with the infrastructure for collecting Core data fields and longitudinal generic and condition-specific information.

Objective: to map existing bone and mineral conditions registries in Europe and their characteristics.
Background: Patients with Cushing syndrome (CS) are at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).
Objective: The aim was to evaluate the current management of new cases of CS with a focus on VTE and thromboprophylaxis.
Design And Methods: A survey was conducted within those that report in the electronic reporting tool (e-REC) of the European Registries for Rare Endocrine Conditions (EuRRECa) and the involved main thematic groups (MTG's) of the European Reference Networks for Rare Endocrine Disorders (Endo-ERN) on new patients with CS from January 2021 to July 2022.
Objective: The European Registries for Rare Endocrine Conditions (EuRRECa, eurreb.eu) includes an e-reporting registry (e-REC) used to perform surveillance of conditions within the European Reference Network (ERN) for rare endocrine conditions (Endo-ERN). The aim of this study was to report the experience of e-REC over the 3.

Objective: The European Reference Network on Rare Endocrine Conditions (Endo-ERN) aims to organize high-quality healthcare throughout Europe, including care for pituitary adenoma patients. As surgery is the mainstay of treatment, we aimed to describe the current surgical practice and published surgical outcomes of pituitary adenoma within Endo-ERN.
Design And Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis of studies reporting surgical outcomes of pituitary adenoma patients within Endo-ERN MTG6 pituitary reference centers between 2010 and 2019.
