The National Endoscopy Database (NED) project commenced in 2013 under the auspices of the Joint Advisory Group. The aim is to upload endoscopy procedure data from all units across the United Kingdom to a centralised database. The database can be used to facilitate quality assurance, research and training in endoscopy.
This article describes the development and implementation process of NED from its inception to date.
NED utilises automated data uploading of a minimum dataset from local endoscopy reporting systems to a central national database via the internet. Currently all data are anonymised. Key performance indicators are presented to endoscopists and organisations on a web-based platform for quality assurance purposes.
As of October 2018, 295 endoscopy services out of a total of 529 known services in the UK (56%) are actively uploading to NED. Data from more than 400,000 endoscopic procedures have been uploaded.
UK-wide data collection from endoscopy units to a central database is feasible using an automated upload system. This has the potential to facilitate endoscopy quality assurance and research.
国家内镜数据库（NED）项目于 2013 年在联合咨询小组的主持下启动。目的是将来自英国各地所有单位的内镜手术数据上传到一个集中的数据库。该数据库可用于促进内镜的质量保证、研究和培训。
本文描述了 NED 从成立到现在的发展和实施过程。
NED 利用自动化数据上传，从本地内镜报告系统将最小数据集通过互联网上传到中央国家数据库。目前所有数据均为匿名。关键绩效指标以网络为基础的平台呈现给内镜医生和机构，用于质量保证。
截至 2018 年 10 月，英国共有 529 个已知服务机构，其中 295 个内镜服务机构（56%）正在积极向 NED 上传数据。已经上传了超过 40 万次内镜手术的数据。
使用自动化上传系统从内镜单位向中央数据库进行全英范围的数据收集是可行的。这有可能促进内镜的质量保证和研究。
