Electronic protocol for clinical data collection in chronic visceral ischemia

Area of Science:

• Medical Informatics
• Clinical Research
• Vascular Diseases

Background:

• Patients with vascular diseases have complex medical histories, leading to challenging record management.
• Electronic record systems offer high capacity and processing capabilities, potentially improving clinical study quality.

Purpose of the Study:

• To create a theoretical framework for clinical data collection in chronic visceral ischemia.
• To develop an electronic data collection protocol for improved record management.

Main Methods:

• A theoretical framework with 5706 items across six categories was created.
• The framework was used to build an electronic protocol uploaded into the Integrated Electronic Protocol System (SINPE©).
• Retrospective data collection and analysis were performed on 10 patients using SINPE©.

Main Results:

• A structured database for chronic visceral ischemia data was established.
• The electronic protocol facilitated retrospective data collection and analysis.
• The system demonstrated potential for managing complex patient data.

Conclusions:

• The developed framework and electronic system can enhance the quality and reliability of clinical studies in chronic visceral ischemia.
• This approach offers a solution for managing complex medical records in vascular diseases.
• Further application of the system is recommended for prospective studies.
