Anonymised data were collected with standardised forms.Results: 1880 (M:F=916:964) individuals from 67 centers in 31 countries have been entered in the Eurofeverregistry. Most of the patients (1388; 74%), reside in western Europe,294 (16%) in the eastern and southern Mediterranean region (Turkey, Israel, North Africa), 106 (6%) in eastern Europe, 54 in Asia, 27 in South America and 11 in Australia. In total 1049 patients with a clinical diagnosisof a monogenic autoinflammatory diseases have been enrolled; geneticanalysis was performed in 993 patients (95%): 703 patients have genetically confirmed disease and 197 patients are heterozygous carriers of mutations in genes that are mutated in patients with recessively inherited autoinflammatory diseases. The median diagnosis delay was 7.3 years (range 0.3-76), with a clear reduction in patients born after the identification of the first gene associated with autoinflammatory diseases in 1997. Conclusion: A shared online registry for patients with autoinflammatory diseases is available and enrollment is ongoing. Currently, there are data available for analysis on clinical presentation, disease course, and response to treatment,and to perform large scale comparative studies between different conditions.
