There are no risks of physical harm associated with participation in the study. Participation in the GBS|CIDP Patient Registry does involve the potential risks of a breach of confidentiality of medical information and associated privacy of participants. Such risks will be minimized by ensuring adherence to applicable regulations and data security measures and by performing the following:
- removing direct participant identifiers from information and data shared or released from the registry;
- limiting access to linking codes assigned to the GBS|CIDP Patient Registry information;
- and limiting access to information contained within the GBS|CIDP Patient Registry to registry investigators and researchers approved by the Advisory Board, and
- Maintaining the Privacy and Confidentiality of Registry information.
