How does EUROCORD operate?
Eurocord works in close collaboration with Netcord banks and EBMT centers and database, collecting and validating clinical data of patients transplanted with Netcord cord blood units or all patients receiving a cord blood unit in EBMT centers.
Thanks to this collaboration, from 1988 to February 2008, 4343 cord blood transplantations have been reported to the Eurocord registry from 230 EBMT (69% of cases) and 190 non-EBMT (31% of cases) centers from 44 European and non European countries.

A minimum follow-up data of 3 months is requested for all cases. Missing data of main variables are inferior to 5%. Eurocord data base increases each year with approximately 100 new cases reported.
The organization of the Eurocord, the clinical control of the data reported, the active search of transplants perfomed with Netcord units and the wordwide collaboration with the Registry have permitted to build a data base of excellence and has allowed more than 50 publications in medical journals with high scientific level.
