Objective: Aim of this paper is to illustrate the methodology, design, and development of the AutoInflammatory Disease Alliance (AIDA) International Registry dedicated to patients with the Periodic Fever, Aphthous stomatitis, Pharyngitis, and cervical Adenitis (PFAPA) syndrome. Methods: This is a physician-driven, population- and electronic-based registry proposed to gather real-world demographics, clinical, laboratory, instrumental and socioeconomic data from patients suffering from PFAPA syndrome. Data recruitment is realized through the on-line Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) tool. This registry is thought to collect standardized information for clinical research leading to solid real-life evidence. The international scope and the flexibility of the registry will facilitate the realization of cutting-edge study projects through the constant updating of variables - as required by future scientific acquisitions - and the possible merging and transfer of data between current and future registries devoted to this disease. Results: One hundred and twelve centers have already been involved from 23 countries and 4 continents starting from August 24th, 2021, to March 21st, 2022. Fifty-five out of 112 have already obtained the formal approval from their local Ethics Committees. At current, the platform counts 287 users (108 principal investigators, 179 site investigators, 2 lead investigators, and 2 data managers). The registry collects retrospective and prospective data using 3845 fields organized into 24 instruments, including PFAPA patient’s demographics, medical histories, symptoms, triggers/risk factors, therapies, and impact on the healthcare systems. Conclusions: The development of the AIDA International Registry for patients with PFAPA syndrome will enable the on-line collection of standardized data prompting real-life studies through the connection of worldwide groups of physicians and researchers.
