Integrated Biomedical Informatics Project for Managing Cerebral Aneurysms SwissNeuroFoundation Aneurysm Database for Risk and Outcome Analysis

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are working to create and use a comprehensive database focused on intracranial aneurysms IA. This project collects and studies clinical history, imaging data, biological samples, and other information to understand factors linked to the formation and rupture of aneurysms. They aim to identify genetic, environmental, and anatomical markers, as well as evaluate outcomes from different treatment strategies and improve patient care protocols. Participants include patients with diagnosed aneurysms, both ruptured and unruptured, family members of affected individuals, and healthy volunteers. Data collected involves detailed clinical records, imaging scans like MRI angiography and CT angiography, and various biological samples such as blood, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva, and stool. Consent covers access to medical records, use of biological samples, and potential future research uses including genetic analyses. During the study, participants provide health and lifestyle information, imaging data, and biological samples. Researchers will monitor multiple long-term outcomes including disease progression, life expectancy, quality of life, neurological and cognitive status, and treatment effects over periods up to 20 years. Data confidentiality is maintained, and participants can withdraw at any time without affecting their medical care. The study aims to validate disease models and support advances in aneurysm management and research.
