Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The registry will collect only secondary sourced data that is collected as part of routine clinical care in accordance with internationally published guidelines. As part of routine clinical care, all patients are expected to undergo a echocardiogram, six-minute walk test and if clinically indicated a right heart catheter on a six monthly basis in order to qualify for medication supplied by the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme as part of the Specialised Drugs Programme.

Data points that are attached to the registry include, mandatory evaluations specific to ongoing PBS medication approval and other diagnostic interventions necessary for the diagnosis and ongoing management of pulmonary hypertension.

Registry data points:
- Right Heart Catheterisation
- Echocardiogram
- 6 Minute Walk Test
-Pulmonary Function Tests
- Medications
- Social History i.e. use of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs
- Hospitalisations
- CT chest scan
-Ventilation/perfusion scan
-Pulmonary Angiogram

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 323073 0
The primary objective of the Australian and New Zealand Pulmonary Hypertension Patient Registry is to capture all prevalent and incident data on adult and paediatric patients with PH particularly PAH and CTEPH subgroups
Data collected will be secondary data sourced from medical records and hospital databases as a result of routine clinical care e.g. right heart catheter, six-minute walk test, echocardiogram, pulmonary function tests. Data will also be collected as result of face to face consultation, e.g details regarding medications, social history and hospitalisations.
Timepoint [1] 323073 0
Participants are reviewed every six months from enrolment, until the registry is has reached its end point as decided by the Australian and New Zealand Pulmonary Hypertension Society
Secondary outcome [1] 381781 0
The secondary purpose of the PH registry is to formally characterise this patient population.
Timepoint [1] 381781 0
The study aims to document the history of PH in addition to the current diagnostic and treatment trends in Australia and New Zealand.
Data sourced from medical records and regular routine clinical visits will provide an opportunity to collate patient focused outcomes.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Patients will be eligible for entry into the registry if they meet the following criteria for Pulmonary Hypertension:
1. A current diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension and right heart catheter and echocardiogram performed at baseline demonstrating pulmonary hypertension (mPAP >20 mmg Hg
2. Exceptionally, patients may be enrolled with pulmonary hypertension diagnosed on ECHO, without invasive measurements, for example paediatric patients. Adult cases without invasive measurements will be discussed with the medical director of the Registry.
3. Prevalent cases may be enrolled retrospectively. Incident and prevalent cases will have ongoing prospective secondary sourced data collected on aspects of demographics, survival status and points relating to routine clinical care. No additional data will be collected that is not part of routine clinical care. Any missing data that is not collected as part of routine clinical practice will be left blank and coded as “not available”.
The Registry will enrol patients aged 3 months and older at designated Paediatric centres where approval has been sought from Paediatric HREC.
The Registry will enrol patients age 18 years or older at adult centres, and also mature minors at those sites in Australia and New Zealand where HREC approval is granted.
Participants aged 16 years and over are eligible for enrolment in Adult centres in New Zealand

Statistical methods / analysis
All patients presenting for treatment at centres of excellence are eligible for enrolment.
The registry will collect only secondary sourced data that is collected as part of routine clinical care in accordance with internationally published guidelines.
The registry is a centralised database with multi-tenant access developed using FileMaker Pro 16 software. Specialist centres will access via FileMaker Pro being installed on their hospital computer.
All data will be pooled in a non- identifiable fashion for analysis and registry projects. Local PH physicians will have access to analysis tools for means of data points on their own individual pooled patients.
Data will be reported in non-identifiable averages and presented for publication in scientific peer reviewed journals.
