The attributes of hospital-based coronary artery diseases registries with a focus on key registry processes: A systematic review

Abstract

Background: The management of data on coronary artery disease (CAD) plays a significant role in controlling the disease and reducing the mortality of patients. The diseases registries facilitate the management of data. Objective: This study aimed to identify the attributes of hospital-based CAD registries with a focus on key registry processes. Method: In this systematic review, we searched for studies published between 2000 and 2019 in PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE and ISI Web of Knowledge. The search terms included coronary artery disease, registry and data management (MeSH terms) at November 2019. Data gathering was conducted using a data extraction form, and the content of selected studies was analysed with respect to key registry processes, including case finding, data gathering, data abstracting, data quality control, reporting and patient follow-up. Results: A total of 17,604 studies were identified in the search, 55 of which were relevant studies that addressed the 21 registries and were selected for the analysis. Results showed that the most common resources for case finding included admission and discharge documents, physician’s reports and screening results. Patient follow-up was mainly performed through direct visits or via telephone calls. The key attributes used for checking the data quality included data accuracy, completeness and definition. Conclusion: CAD registries aim to facilitate the assessment of health services provided to patients. Putting the key registry processes in place is crucial for developing and implementing the CAD registry. The data quality control, as a CAD registry process, requires developing standard tools and applying appropriate data quality attributes. Implications: The findings of the current study could lay the foundation for successful design and development of CAD registries based on the key registry processes for effective data management.
