19.04.2023: Maelstrom

The Maelstrom metadata catalogue contains record descriptions from 378 global studies, facilitating collaboration in epidemiological research.

As part of the Swiss Personalised Health Network (SPHN) Cohort Consortium, the metadata of the SCQM cohorts (RA, axSpA, PsA, GCA, PMR and pregnancy) are now part of the Maelstrom metadata catalogue. On Maelstrom, researchers can search for data sources for their research projects. Presenting SCQM data on Maelstrom will increase the visibility of the SCQM nationally and internationally and hopefully lead to even more landmark research projects.

What can you do on Maelstrom?
If you want to know more about the data collected in the SCQM yourself, the Maelstrom catalogue can also be an interesting resource for Swiss researchers.
