Eurocord
Eurocord registry operates on behalf of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) which is an international scientific organization on hematopoietic stem cell transplants.
In order to develop and evaluate cord blood transplant, Eurocord Registry was established in 1995 under the direction of Professor Eliane Gluckman , Leader of the Eurocord project.
The registry is an achievement of the Eurocord project that has been financed by 3 consecutive programs of the European Union.
Eurocord works in close collaboration with Netcord cord blood 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 January 2007, 3286 cord blood transplantations have been reported to the Eurocord registry from 177 EBMT (64% of cases) and 187 non-EBMT (36% of cases) centers from 43 European and non European countries. Eurocord database increases each year with approximately 100 cases reported. The organization of the Eurocord, the clinical control of the data reported, the active search of transplants performed with Netcord units and the worldwide 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.
