Completeness and Accuracy of Local Clinical Registry Data for Children Undergoing Heart Surgery

Data routinely captured in clinical registries may be leveraged to enhance efficiency of prospective research. The quality of registry data for this purpose has not been studied, however. We evaluated the completeness and accuracy of perioperative data within congenital heart centers’ local surgical registries.

This study suggests that existing surgical registry data constitute a complete, accurate, and efficient information source for prospective research. Variability across data fields and sites also suggest areas for improvement in some areas of data quality.
