Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD) is the second most prevalent inherited muscular disorder and currently lacks a pharmaceutical treatment. The Dutch FSHD Registry was initiated in 2015 as a result of an international collaboration on trial readiness. This paper presents the cohort profile and six years of follow-up data of the registered FSHD patients. At the time of self-registration and every six months thereafter, participants were invited to complete a digital survey of patient and disease characteristics and the Dutch versions of the Checklist Individual Strength (CIS20R), the Individualised Neuromuscular Quality of Life Questionnaire (INQoL), the Beck Depression Index - Primary Care and the McGill Pain Questionnaire. From March 2015 to March 2021, 373 participants completed at least one survey. At baseline, fatigue and muscle weakness were the most frequently reported symptoms (median CIS20R sumscore 77 [IQR 60-92], median INQoL Fatigue score 58 [IQR 42-68] and median INQoL weakness score 58 [IQR 42-68]). Pain was experienced most often in the head and shoulder region (193, 52%). Nineteen of the 23 (sub)sections of questionnaires showed no significant changes over time. We conclude that the Dutch FSHD Registry was successfully set up, enabling collection of longitudinal data and facilitating recruitment in several studies.
