Overall, pediatric-onset inflammatory brain diseases are rare and therefore difficult to study. Patient registries are well suited to study the natural history of (rare) diseases and have markedly advanced the knowledge on pediatric-onset inflammatory brain diseases in other countries. Following their example, we established a national pediatric-onset inflammatory brain disease registry in Switzerland (Swiss-Ped-IBrainD).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec002\">\n                    <jats:title>Aims<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Registry aims to describe epidemiology, demographics, diagnostics, management, and treatment, since these areas remain understudied in Switzerland. Additionally, we want to promote research by fostering the knowledge exchange between study centers and setting up studies such as national quality of life surveys. We further aim to facilitate the access to national and international studies for patients with a pediatric-onset inflammatory brain disease living and\/or treated in Switzerland.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec003\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The Swiss-Ped-IBrainD is a multicentric, population-based, observational cohort study (IRB number: 2019\u201300377) collaborating with 11 neuropediatric centers in Switzerland. Patient screening, information and recruitment is mainly conducted by the local principal investigators. The data collection is organized centrally by the Executive Office of the registry. The collected data is purely observational. Medical records are the primary data source. All patients who have been diagnosed with a pediatric-onset inflammatory brain disease since 2005 are eligible. We aim to include all pediatric-onset inflammatory brain disease patients living and\/or treated in Switzerland who meet the inclusion criteria. Considering existing literature and our single-center experience we anticipate 300\u2013400 eligible patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"sec004\">\n                    <jats:title>Status<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Currently, all 11 neuropediatric centers have been initiated and are recruiting.
