Would you like to improve knowledge about Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia (PCD) and contribute to better care of people with PCD? PCD is a rare genetic disease with a prevalence of about 1 in 7, 500 that affects multiple organ systems. Almost all people with PCD have problems from the upper airways (Ear Nose Throat: ENT) . recurrent episodes of otitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and hearing impairment. These problems affect severely their everyday life; however, until recently they remained understudied. In the past 5 years, the ENT Prospective International Cohort study for people with PCD (EPIC-PCD) generated first large-scale evidence on the prevalence and severity of ENT problems. In this large collaborative project, we collect clinical and patient-reported information, using standardised and validated instruments to acquire high-quality longitudinal data. The project is ongoing and aims to understand the evolution of ENT problems over time and study, standardise, and improve care of people with PCD.
