Common Data Elements (CDEs) are data-metadata descriptors used to collect research study data. CDEs facilitate the collection, processing, and sharing of breast cancer data. This study intended to explore the CDEs of breast cancer for research databases and primary care systems.
This study was conducted using systematic search and review. This systematic literature review covered PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, SID, ISC, Web of Science, and Google Scholar search engine. It included studies in English language with accessible full-text from the beginning of 2007 to September 2019.
Reviewing 25 studies revealed that 52 percent of studies were carried out in the US and most studies were conducted between 2013 and 2015. The most domains for using CDEs were: Pathology Report and Registry. The CDEs of breast cancer for research databases were categorized into three categories namely clinical, research, and non-clinical and indicate the importance of these data elements. Most of the studies focused on creating and deploying clinical CDEs as physical examination, clinical history and pathology data.
The integration of biomedical and clinical data relevant to breast cancer enhances the power of research variable analysis and statistical analysis, thereby facilitating improved knowledge of effective therapeutic interventions. Also CDEs used to collect, store, and retrieve patient data in various health setting such as primary care and research databases.
通用数据元素（CDEs）是用于收集研究数据的数据元数据描述符。CDEs有助于乳腺癌数据的收集、处理和共享。本研究旨在探索用于研究数据库和初级保健系统的乳腺癌CDEs。
本研究采用系统检索和综述的方法。该系统文献综述涵盖了PubMed、Scopus、Science Direct、SID、ISC、Web of Science和谷歌学术搜索引擎。纳入了2007年初至2019年9月期间英文撰写且可获取全文的研究。
对25项研究的综述显示，52%的研究在美国开展，且大多数研究在2013年至2015年期间进行。使用CDEs的最主要领域是：病理报告和登记处。用于研究数据库的乳腺癌CDEs分为临床、研究和非临床三类，表明了这些数据元素的重要性。大多数研究集中于创建和部署临床CDEs，如体格检查、临床病史和病理数据。
整合与乳腺癌相关的生物医学和临床数据可增强研究变量分析和统计分析的能力，从而有助于提高对有效治疗干预措施的认识。此外，CDEs用于在各种健康环境中收集、存储和检索患者数据，如初级保健和研究数据库。
