1 Introduction

This report provides an overview on the data and information collected in the past year (2025) for the different inflammatory rheumatic disease cohorts, see Figure 1, and special data collection initiatives like the unclassified arthritis cohort or the biobank project. Retroactive data entry is possible and all information within this report reflects the status within the SCQM as of the 2026-01-01.

Where not otherwise specified we report data or information on the SCQM patient populations at the end of 2025. The reporting considers any patient with at least one visit containing a minimum of physician based information. This report also excludes patients whose written informed consent has not been provided or not yet been verified.

There are three types of visits - inclusion, annual control and intermediate control visits. Each visit type includes physician and patient questionnaires. Furthermore the SCQM collects patient self-monitoring data via mySCQM independent of visits. An external link to summarized data collection schemes for each of the main cohorts is provided within Section 6.3.

As of the end of 2025 the main SCQM research cohorts encompass 20842 patients that have contributed their data for research. Table 1 provides further information about this cumulative population.

2 Core Data

Key Numbers

In 2025 the SCQM recorded 5430 visits from 4369 patients. Among these 606 patients were new inclusions. Furthermore, 17640 mySCQM entries were made by 2555 patients. Among these 258 were new mySCQM users. Visits were recorded by 244 doctors spread across 85 institutions in 17 different cantons.

See more in about Visits in Table 2, about Inclusions in Table 3 and about mySCQM in Table 4.

Contributing Institutions

The SCQM registry relies on the tireless work made by our many contributing institutions. Within Table 5, Table 6 and Table 7 we showcase those hospitals and practices that contributed the most towards the mission of the SCQM, both in 2025 and its entire existence, for visits, inclusions and new mySCQM users respectively. Note that these numbers include the special data collection for unclassified arthritis and not just the main research cohorts.

3 Maps of the SCQM

The SCQM is active across all of Switzerland thanks to its many participating institutions. Figure 2 provides a geographical look at this collection effort. Additionally, Figure 4 provides some descriptions of which kind of patient had a visit in 2025 split by canton and Figure 3 provides a look at the entire research cohort as of the snapshot of this report with each patient assigned to the location of their initial inclusion into the registry.

4 Cohort Demographics

The demographic distribution within our cohorts is depicted in Figure 5, structured in a way that allows comparisons between the subsets of patients tracked via visits and mySCQM respectively. Figure 6 provides a comparison of the self-assessed disease activity of patients across the population with visits in 2025. In Figure 7 we explore the overlap between the vsit and mySCQM subsets depicted in Figure 5. Finally, Figure 8 provides insight into the diagnostic delays of patients newly included this year.

Figures for education and work status exclude patients where no recent (last two years) information is available and discard anything but the most recent information provided by each patient. Furthermore education and work status is not collected for all cohorts

5 Special Collection

Unclassified Arthritis

Up to and including 2025, the SCQM has recorded 4728 visits from 1017 patients within the Unclassified Arthritis cohort. 68 new UA patients were included in 2025. Furthermore, 10022 mySCQM entries were made by 333 UA patients. The number of UA patients using mySCQM has grown by 27. Data from UA cohort is available for research under the same conditions as data from our main cohorts. Figure 9 depicts the build-up of such patients over the years.

Figure 9: Cumulative number of patients within the SCQM Unclassified Arthritis cohort at the conclusion of 2025.

Xrays

Up to and including 2025, 49925 sets of Xrays from 12679 patients were shared with the SCQM for use in research. 46 image sets were added in 2025, of which 14 were the first sets of their respective patients. Table 8 provides a description of the these images.

Biobank

The SCQM Biobank is located at the Sérothèque Centre of Geneva University Hospital, Departement de Médecine génétique et de Laboratoire. Since 2011, its primary objective has been to collect serum and DNA samples from patients enrolled in SCQM. Between 2011 and 2024, biosamples were systematically collected without applying exclusion criteria, allowing all patients in Switzerland–regardless of age, disease duration, severity, or type of therapy – to participate.

A total of 4340 biosamples from 3825 patients have been collected. Contributions have been enabled by 115 different institutions, spread across 18 cantons.

Currently, the collection of new biosamples is temporarily suspended. However, the samples collected up to 2025 remain available and continue to represent a valuable resource for ongoing and future research.

More details are available in Table 9.

RePreg

The collaboration between the SCQM and the Reproduction and Pregnancy in inflammatory rheumatic diseases cohort has led to records of 333 pregnancies from 256 patients. Among these, 275 pregnancies have both concluded and been tracked throughout. Tracking has then continued for 274 of the resulting children. 85 pregnancies have finished the post-natal questionnaires. Table 10 presents the current status of the ongoing collection efforts.
