Introduction And Aim:
Coronary computer tomography angiography is a unique non-invasive imaging technique with the capability to provide information regarding plaque quantity, burden and structure. A reliable registry is required to use the data of these examinations in research projects. The difficulty is that registries need double data entry simultaneously to the hospital information system.
Method:
Our registry solves this problem through a structured reporting tool, which generates clinical report and stores all data simultaneously. The automatically generated report is based on international guidelines.
Results:
Between August 1. 2014 and September 1. 2015 we registered the data of 2866 patients. Coronary plaque was observed in 77.03% of the patients, 33.18% of the plaques were calcified. Severe stenosis was present in 13.71% of the patients.
Conclusions:
The structured reporting decreases reporting time, eliminates double data entry related errors. Our goal is to initiate a nationwide, unified registry, the National Plaque Registry and Database. Orv. Hetil., 2017, 158(3), 106-110.
