[Overview of multi-center registry of aortic dissection]

Area of Science:

• Cardiovascular Medicine
• Medical Informatics
• Epidemiology

Background:

• Aortic dissection is a critical cardiovascular condition with significant global health implications.
• International registries like the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection have advanced diagnosis and treatment strategies worldwide.
• Existing databases, such as the German Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection Type A and the Nordic Consortium for Acute Type A Aortic Dissection, have yielded valuable insights and guidelines.

Purpose of the Study:

• To highlight the need for a new, dedicated aortic dissection database in China.
• To address the lack of recent data from the Registry of Aortic Dissection in China (Sino-RAD).
• To facilitate the study of unique pathogenic characteristics of aortic dissection in the Chinese population.

Main Methods:

• Review of existing international and national aortic dissection registries.
• Analysis of the reporting frequency and impact of the Sino-RAD database.
• Identification of gaps in current data collection for aortic dissection in China.

Main Results:

• International registries have significantly impacted global aortic dissection management.
• The Sino-RAD database has not reported new data in the last five years.
• There is a recognized need to establish a contemporary database for aortic dissection in China.

Conclusions:

• A new aortic dissection database is essential for China to advance research and clinical practice.
• Such a database will enable the collection of contemporary data specific to the Chinese population.
• This initiative is vital for improving the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of aortic dissection in China.
