What is ProMISe?

ProMISe (Project Manager Internet Server) is the central data management system used by the EBMT. Users are able to enter and retrieve data directly over a secure Internet connection. All users access the same copy of the entire project, but users have the option to download their own centre database for reference purposes. The only software necessary is an Internet browser (there is nothing to download). When online, centres can access either the complete database for an overview of all EBMT data, or their centre database, to view and enter data for their own centre.

All data must be entered into the same patient record / UIC, even if a patient moves to another centre.

To assist this process, we have designed a data access request form* for centres to complete, enabling us to search the full database for existing registrations. On receipt of your signed form, we can make the previous data available to your centre - if registered - so that you can enter the subsequent data.

*Centres in the following countries can contact their national registry data manager directly to request this access if the patient had their prior transplant within the same country:

MED-A paper form merging (Updated 19 February 2008)

Click here for a zip file containing the necessary files and information to obtain a paper copy of each Med-A submitted to the EBMT, with or without the missing items highlighted. While for some users obtaining a missing data report is the main reason to use this procedure, other users may want to use the program to print MED-As for JACIE or filing. NOTE: An updated module to print the new style MED-As (introduced in July 07) is currently under development.

Linking ProMISe MED-AB to your own database:

Transplant centres may wish to store information which is not reflected in the current EBMT database structure, such as administrative or personal data. In this document we provide step by step instructions on how to set up a "permanent" link between a local database and the downloaded backup of the EBMT centre database:

The EBMT Relational Database document gives a written definition of the levels and tables in the structure and should be read in conjunction with the above Powerpoint file.

The next document summarizes the changes implemented to the MED-AB Database in the past six months.
