Summary
This study developed a minimum data set for dental implants, improving data quality for registries. The proposed set includes administrative and clinical data elements for better information management and research.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Health Informatics
- Dental Implantology
Background:
- Registries are crucial for collecting reliable health data.
- Designing a minimum data set is essential for high-quality registry data.
- Effective data management is vital for dental implant information.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine an optimal minimum data set for dental implants.
- To enhance data collection and utilization at Tehran University of Medical Sciences.
- To support evidence-based decision-making in dental implant care.
Main Methods:
- A descriptive, cross-sectional pilot study was conducted.
- A minimum data set checklist was developed from a systematic review.
- Content validity was established by experts, and the Delphi technique finalized the set.
Main Results:
- The minimum data set comprises administrative and clinical data.
- Administrative data includes 12 elements (demographics, clinic data).
- Clinical data includes 96 elements across five segments (patient, implant, complications, loss, follow-up).
Conclusions:
- The proposed minimum data set facilitates efficient dental implant information management.
- It supports evidence-based decision-making, clinical research, and treatment evaluation.
- This data set aids in monitoring and benchmarking dental implant care quality.
