Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Sites will identify all patients diagnosed and treated for NS in routine clinical practice to form the base cohort for study eligibility assessment. Patients in the base cohort will be further reviewed for study eligibility based on the criteria below. Part 1 - retrospective data collection: In Part 1 of the study clinical data will be abstracted from patients' existing medical records from the date of study enrolment back to the date of initial diagnosis of NS. Part 2 - prospective data collection: In Part 2, patients who are not enrolled in a clinical trial at the time of study inclusion will be asked to provide additional consent/assent to participate in a 52-week follow-up for continuous clinical data collection from medical records and completion of Clinician-Reported Outcomes (ClinRO) and Patient-Reported Outcomes (PRO) assessments.
