2020 IDDB Progress and Findings
The International Dupuytren Data Bank is now in its fifth year with 4465 enrollees from 48 countries. There’s now enough data to begin looking for trends and new insights.
We’ve begun collecting blood samples from select enrollees for the Dupuytren Blood Biomarker Pilot Study. Blood sample collection is on hold until COVID-19 related restrictions ease: we’re hopeful and rebooking blood draw appointments for June.
There are three good things coming out of the COVID-19 challenge:
One: There’s now a little extra time for you to enroll in the IDDB for a chance to participate in the Dupuytren Blood Biomarker Pilot Study! If you haven’t signed up, now is the time:
