Departmental EDC software ranges from spreadsheets to comprehensive \u201cpatch test software\u201d based on a relational database. In the Erlangen data centre, such diverse data is imported, converted to a common format, quality checked and pooled for scientific analyses.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results: Feed-back to participating departments for quality control is provided by standardised reports. Varying author teams publish scientific analyses addressing the objective of contact allergy surveillance.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusions: Although ESSCA represents a historically grown, heterogeneous network and not one unified approach to EDC, some of its features have contributed to its viability in the last 12 years and may be useful to consider for similar investigator-initiated networks.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3414\/me15-01-0099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,24]],"date-time":"2016-02-24T03:54:05Z","timestamp":1456286045000},"page":"193-199","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":37,"title":["Registries in Clinical Epidemiology: the European Surveillance System on Contact Allergies (ESSCA)"],"prefix":"10.3414","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"Schnuch","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Wilkinson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A.","family":"Dugonik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"B.","family":"Dugonik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"Ganslandt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"W.","family":"Uter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"10.3414\/ME15-01-0099-1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"38","DOI":"10.3414\/ME9235","volume":"48","author":"Prokosch","year":"2009","journal-title":"Methods Inf Med"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME15-01-0099-2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1398-9995.2012.02834.x"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME15-01-0099-3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12432"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME15-01-0099-4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11999-010-1469-3"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME15-01-0099-5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"580","DOI":"10.1160\/ME9060","volume":"46","author":"Klein","year":"2007","journal-title":"Methods Inf Med"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME15-01-0099-6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3414\/ME14-01-0141"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME15-01-0099-7","first-page":"101","volume":"8","author":"Diepgen","year":"1989","journal-title":"Semin Dermatol"},{"key":"10.3414\/ME15-01-0099-8","unstructured":"Uter W, Diepgen TL, Arnold R, Hillebrand O, Pietrzyk P, St\u00fcben O, Schnuch A.
