Abstract

Background: Data sharing amongst existing Rare Disease (RD) registries, even though being a process that presents multiple barriers, would enrich and ease research, as well as facilitate interoperability between the registries themselves. Methods: To understand their preferences on sharing data, we surveyed 24 European Reference Networks (ERNs) from the RD Domain. Results: The answers show that most ERNs are willing to share a set of Common Data Elements for free with authenticated users at an aggregated or pseudonymized level the moment the data is collected. The one exception is the industry sector, to which ERNs prefer to ask for a fee. Objective: Our aim is to create a reference for how most RD registries are willing to share their data, improving the ability of other stakeholders to make informed decisions to make their data interoperable.
