The RABBIT-SpA disease register, established in May 2017, aims to investigate the long-term effectiveness and safety of therapies used in spondyloarthritis. Data from rheumatologists and patients on disease progression, treatment, therapy outcomes, and therapy safety are collected to gain a better understanding of the different treatment approaches. Aspects related to quality of life, mental health, and work ability are also the focus of our analyses. The web-based documentation system was developed in a way that allows additional modules to be integrated. Rheumatologists from both outpatient and inpatient care across Germany participate in the register. We are involved in national and international research collaborations.

Using advanced epidemiological methods, Programme Area 2 investigates biological, psychosocial and health care-related factors that influence the course and outcome of rheumatic diseases in adults and children. Our research mainly builds on long-term observational studies, conducted in close cooperation with a nationwide network of more than 500 paediatric and adult rheumatology specialists. In addition, specific population-based analyses are carried out using data from health insurance companies ...
