Surveillance Epidemiology of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Under Research Exclusion for Vascular Anomalies
Researchers need information on COVID-19 and vascular anomalies.
The SECURE-VA registry is a collaborative worldwide registry for healthcare providers to report COVID-19 in vascular anomaly patients. We hope to quickly characterize the impact of COVID-19 on people with vascular anomalies.
The study is anonymous and meets exemption criteria under federal regulations. Complete information on security and online collection can be found here.

Patient registries provide researchers with the opportunity to analyze anonymous data that is generated and collected over a specific time. The true analytical value of registries can only be achieved when sufficient numbers of participants provide access to their data.
