Core Tip	In the next few years new worldwide regulations as well as the availability of register data will lead to a shift in scientific focuses. The interpretation of register and routine data will be associated with new methodological challenges. Monocenter follow-up studies will become less attractive. Publications based on large data sets from registers will continue to gain influence and cover general issues; clinical studies should focus on specific questions.
