TO EVALUATE COMPLETENESS AND POSITIVE PREDICTIVE VALUE OF THE DANISH NATIONAL VASCULAR REGISTRY REGARDING REGISTRATION OF THE SURGICAL PROCEDURES: embolectomy of brachial, ulnar, or radial artery.
The study was based on first-time embolectomies in the brachial, ulnar, or radial artery performed in Denmark from January 1, 1990 to December 31, 2002. The data were primarily retrieved from the Danish National Vascular Registry and secondarily from the Danish National Registry of Patients. Medical records were retrieved using a standardized form.
In total, 1433 incident cases of first-time embolectomy were found in both registries. The positive predictive value of the registration was 97.5% (95% confidence interval [CI]; 96.4-98.4). The degree of completeness was 86.5% (95% CI; 84.3-88.5). For the registration period from 1990 till 1996 the degree of completeness was 78.2% (95% CI; 74.4-81.7), and from 1997 till 2002 it was 93.8% (95% CI; 91.6-95.7).
The completeness and positive predictive value of registration of embolectomy in the upper limb in the Danish National Vascular Registry was 86.5% and 97.5%, respectively. This registry can be a valuable tool for epidemiological research and quality-monitoring.
评估丹麦国家血管登记处对肱动脉、尺动脉或桡动脉取栓术手术程序的登记完整性和阳性预测值。
本研究基于 1990 年 1 月 1 日至 2002 年 12 月 31 日期间在丹麦首次进行的肱动脉、尺动脉或桡动脉取栓术。数据主要从丹麦国家血管登记处，其次从丹麦国家患者登记处提取。使用标准化表格检索病历。
在两个登记处共发现 1433 例首次取栓术的发病病例。该登记的阳性预测值为 97.5%（95%置信区间[CI]；96.4-98.4）。登记的完整性为 86.5%（95%CI；84.3-88.5）。1990 年至 1996 年登记期间的完整性为 78.2%（95%CI；74.4-81.7），1997 年至 2002 年为 93.8%（95%CI；91.6-95.7）。
丹麦国家血管登记处上肢取栓术的登记完整性和阳性预测值分别为 86.5%和 97.5%。该登记处可作为流行病学研究和质量监测的有用工具。
