Equine Clinicians Registry
Clinical outcomes need real evidence.
Cutting edge treatments without meaningful outcome data make It challenging for clinicians to prove their results and for owners to make educated decisions.
The ECR facilitates data collection and analysis across practices, disciplines, and geographic locations to generate the real-world safety and efficacy insights that help to guide treatment decisions.

There are many challenges and shortcomings currently limiting Orthobiologics research:Most equine clinical research is done with horses who are not active in sport
Most research studies have relatively low case numbers
Outcome parameters are not well-established
Standardized values for “return to sport” (such as rate of recurrence and time to return to sport) are lacking and are not well understood for each equestrian discipline
Independent information about safety and adverse events pertaining to orthobiologics is either not available or collected by the producers of the product, which creates a perception of bias
Study designs are inconsistent making comparative assessments impossible
Collection of data for horses in real-world circumstances is logistically difficult
Large variations exist in case management strategies between disciplines as well as across geographical boundaries
Comparison of findings between practices is difficult due to a lack of consistent methodology
Until now, there has been no independent organization dedicated to addressing these issues

Characterize the clinical course of sport horses following orthobiologic or regenerative medicine treatment for musculoskeletal injury.
Characterize the clinical course, stratified by type of injury, and orthobiologic treatment.
Track response to treatment of clinically affected but not yet lame horses with the intention to improve performance, longevity, prevent lameness, and reduce secondary injury.
Registries are used commonly in human medicine. While clinical trials are necessary, they often fail to catch rare complications, long-term failures, or differences between real-world subgroups. Registries play a critical role in the healthcare ecosystem by capturing real world data at scale.
What can you do with your data?
Build trust with clients and grow your practice
How it works
Validate protocols and decisions with your practice’s data
Simple patient enrollment
Track rechecks or capture data remotely
Automated client surveys
Analyze & take action
Present & publish with real data to support conference talks and peer-reviewed papers
Are you a clinician interested in participating in the Registry?
Currently, the ECR is being used for a Prospective Longitudinal Study of Orthobiologic and Regenerative Medicine for the Treatment of Suspensory Ligament Injuries in Sport Horses. Clinics interested in participating are encouraged to review the study protocol to better understand the inclusion criteria, data collection, and study structure. Please note that you will be expected to enter ALL CASES that meet the inclusion criteria during the enrollment period and to record follow-up data on each patient for 12 months following their initial diagnosis and treatment. Later this year we will start with a longitudinal study on joint injuries.
We look forward to collaborating with you on this important effort.
