The Asthma Clinical Research Network (ACRN) data coordinating center (DCC) supports pulmonary function testing systems nationwide. This ensures standardized data collection and quality control for asthma research studies.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Clinical Research Informatics
  • Data Management

Background:

  • The Asthma Clinical Research Network (ACRN) relies on a Data Coordinating Center (DCC) for managing pulmonary function testing.
  • Pulmonary function data are critical outcome indicators for ACRN studies.
  • Testing systems comprise spirometers, PCs, modems, and printers located across six clinical centers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the requirements for supporting pulmonary function testing systems within the ACRN.
  • To ensure standardized data acquisition, quality control, and remote support for multi-center asthma research.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of requirements for the first ACRN protocol.
  • Identification of needs for standardized testing, data handling, and transmission.

  • Establishment of quality assurance and remote support protocols.

    • Main Results:

    • Defined requirements for standard pulmonary-function and methacholine-challenge testing.
    • Established protocols for handling simultaneous multiple protocols and non-ACRN data.
    • Ensured data transmission capabilities, quality assurance, and remote support infrastructure.

    Conclusions:

    • The DCC's infrastructure and protocols support robust, standardized pulmonary function data collection for asthma research.
    • Effective data management and quality control are essential for multi-center clinical trials.
    • Remote support and data transmission are critical for nationwide research networks.
