Neuro-Covid Registry
The EAN NEuro-covid ReGistrY (ENERGY)
The EAN NEuro-covid ReGistrY Consortium (ENERGY) intends to provide epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments.
Since Autumn 2020 the EAN has strived to create a registry which can shed light on the burden and general characteristics of neurological complications of the COVID-19 outbreak and the association of these complications with the demographic and clinical features of the affected individuals.
Four years after launching the ENERGY study, more than 4000 patients’ data have been included by 152 investigators from 44 centres in 30 countries around the world. Five journal publications based on the ENERGY database have already been published and helped to improve our understanding of COVID-19 and its association with neurological manifestations.
The study is overseen by the ENERGY Core Group consisting of Professor Elena Moro, Professor Raimund Helbok and Dr. Maurizio Leone, and along with the ENERGY Investigators. As the pandemic winds down and the incidence of new patients has decreased, the ENERGY CG along with the investigators have decided in Spring 2023 to stop the inclusion of new patients who have contracted COVID-19 after the 30th of June 2023 and consequently the inclusion of new centers in the consortium.
As the database has reached a point where extensive information can be provided on clinical data of patients with a COVID-19 infection presenting neurological complications, the EAN would like to invite anyone interested on conducting statistical analyses, to fill out the project proposal form, which can be found in the “Download Area” and submit it at covidregistry(at)ean.org. The proposals will be then evaluated by the EAN’s Head Office and the ENERGY Core Group.
We look forward to our collaboration and alliance in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic.
