Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Nephrology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Extracorporeal LDL apheresis therapy (LDL apheresis) requires quality assurance measures mandated by national guidelines (NUB) and SGB V legislation.
  • Complementary BUB guidelines were introduced in 1999 to assess the therapeutic benefit of LDL apheresis.
  • Treatment documentation is explicitly required beyond quality assurance during execution.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a quality assurance registry for LDL apheresis to meet regulatory requirements.
  • To enable voluntary participation of apheresis physicians in data collection.
  • To facilitate EDV-based individual patient documentation and analysis.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a non-profit quality assurance registry by Quasa gGmbH.
  • Voluntary online participation for apheresis physicians since March 2003.
  • Recording of clinical patient history and treatment-relevant data.

Main Results:

  • The registry enables the medical profession to fulfill LDL apheresis quality assurance guidelines.
  • Physicians can establish EDV-based individual patient documentation.
  • Epidemiological data evaluation is regularly accomplished and results are made public.

Conclusions:

  • The LDL apheresis quality assurance registry facilitates compliance with national guidelines and legislative requirements.
  • It provides a platform for comprehensive patient data documentation and analysis.
  • Regular data evaluation supports evidence-based practice and public health initiatives in LDL apheresis.
