01 · Registry
NORA Registry
A multicentre registry platform for rare and high-impact neurosurgical conditions, designed around harmonised variables and meaningful longitudinal outcomes.
Open project →Projects
Research programmes built around outcomes.
NORA projects combine clinically meaningful questions with structured data, collaborative cohorts and quantitative methods. Each programme is designed to grow as the lab develops.
Active portfolio
Nine project areas.
From multicentre registries to patient-reported outcomes, prediction and translational collaborations, our portfolio spans the full path from data collection to clinically useful evidence.
02 · Quality & Safety
30-Day Outcomes Project
A standardised view of early postoperative recovery, complications, readmissions, reinterventions and other clinically actionable events during the first 30 days.
Open project →03 · PROMs
PROMs Initiative
Longitudinal patient-reported outcomes before and after neurosurgical treatment to understand recovery from the patient’s perspective.
Open project →04 · Neuro-oncology
Brain Tumor Outcomes
Patient-centred and clinical outcome research across the brain tumour pathway, from surgery to functional recovery and onward treatment.
Open project →05 · Spine
Spine Outcomes
Clinical, functional and patient-reported outcomes after degenerative and complex spine surgery, with emphasis on durable benefit and recovery trajectories.
Open project →06 · Analytics
Outcome Prediction
Development and external validation of clinically interpretable prediction models for risk, recovery and personalised decision support.
Open project →07 · Translational
Microbiome
Collaborative translational research on the microbiome in neurovascular disease, including cerebral cavernous malformations and related outcome questions.
Open project →08 · Equity
Global Neurosurgery
Collaborative research on access, quality, safety and meaningful outcomes across health systems with different resources and care pathways.
Open project →09 · Ageing
Geriatric Neurosurgery
Outcomes research for older adults, integrating frailty, cognition, functional reserve and patient priorities into neurosurgical decision-making.
Open project →Collaboration model
Designed to be multicentre.
Several NORA programmes are deliberately structured for collaboration across institutions. We aim to use shared definitions, transparent governance and clinically meaningful follow-up so that rare conditions and heterogeneous populations can be studied with sufficient scale.
