None:
AIMS OF MINAP: To audit the quality of care of patients with acute coronary syndrome and provide a resource for academic research.
Quality Of Care Interventions:
Feedback to hospitals, ambulance services and cardiac networks regarding benchmarking of performance against national standards and targets.
Setting:
All 230 acute hospitals in England and Wales. Years: 2000-present.
Population:
Consecutive patients, unconsented. Current number of records: 735 000.
Startpoints:
Any acute coronary syndrome, including non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction, ST-elevation myocardial infarction and unstable angina.
Baseline Data:
123 fields covering demographic factors, co-morbid conditions and treatment in hospital. No blood resource.
Data Capture:
Manual entry by clerks, nurses or doctors onto Lotus Notes; non-financial incentives at hospital level.
Data Quality:
Hospitals perform an annual data validation study, where data are re-entered from the case notes in 20 randomly selected records that are held on the server. In 2008 data were >90% complete for 20 key fields, with >80% completeness for all but four of the remaining fields.
Endpoints And Linkages To Other Data:
All-cause mortality is obtained through linkage with Office for National Statistics. No other linkages exist at present.
Access To Data:
Available for research and audit by application to the MINAP Academic Group. http://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/CLINICAL-STANDARDS/ORGANISATION/PARTNERSHIP/Pages/MINAP-.aspx.
