Background: SATURN (Systematic Accumulation of Treatment practices and Utilisation, Real world evidence, and Natural history data) for the rare condition osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) has the objective to create a common core dataset by utilising existing, well-established data sources to meet the needs of the various stakeholders (physicians, registry/dataset owners, patients and patient associations, OI community leaders, European [EU] policymakers, regulators, health technology assessments [HTA]s, and healthcare systems including payers). This paper describes the steps taken to assess the feasibility of one existing OI registry (i.e.

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.
Regulatory marketing authorisation is not enough to ensure patient access to new medicinal products. Health Technology Assessment bodies may require data on effectiveness, relative effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness. Healthcare systems may require data on clinical utility, savings, and budget impact.
