PG  - 687-92
LID - S0004-282X2011000500021 [pii]
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To present the Brazilian Neuromyelitis Optica Database System 
      (NMO-DBr), a database system which collects, stores, retrieves, and analyzes 
      information from patients with NMO and NMO-related disorders. METHOD: NMO-DBr 
      uses Flux, a LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) for data 
      management. We used information from medical records of patients with NMO 
      spectrum disorders, and NMO variants, the latter defined by the presence of 
      neurological symptoms associated with typical lesions on brain magnetic resonance 
      imaging (MRI) or aquaporin-4 antibody seropositivity. RESULTS: NMO-DBr contains 
      data related to patient's identification, symptoms, associated conditions, index 
      events, recurrences, family history, visual and spinal cord evaluation, 
      disability, cerebrospinal fluid and blood tests, MRI, optic coherence tomography, 
      diagnosis and treatment. It guarantees confidentiality, performs cross-checking 
      and statistical analysis. CONCLUSION: NMO-DBr is a tool which guides 
      professionals to take the history, record and analyze information making medical 
      practice more consistent and improving research in the area.
