CARES "Coronary
Angiography Registry
and Evaluation in Saudi
Arabia" is a national
medical registry of coronary
angiography and PCI in all major
geographical regions of Saudi
Arabia, with a main goal to
assess the prevalence of
significant CAD in
|
|
|
all patients that get referred
for coronary angiogram and
determine its indications, in
addition to determining the
short term and long term
clinical outcome and
complications of PCI.
The
study will require filling an
electronic Case Report Form
(CRF) through this web-site over
a 1-year period as the starter
phase.
Each PCI-patient will be
subsequently followed up
clinically up to 3 years for
clinical outcomes and
complications of the PCI
procedure.
 |
|
|
|
 |
Information
from registries
is increasingly
used to evaluate
the process of
care and patient
outcomes.
Data collection
on patients
undergoing
cardiac
procedures is
essential to
improve the
quality of
patient care and
the efficient
use of resources
in cardiology
practice.
Accordingly,
clinical data
related to
patient care and
outcome before
and after these
procedures are
collected in
many cardiology
units worldwide.
|
|
|
Preliminary
data from the Saudi
Project for Assessment
of Coronary Events
(SPACE) Registry
in
patients admitted with
acute coronary syndrome
suggests that the rate
of coronary angiogram is
63%, percutaneous
coronary intervention
(PCI) is 40%, with
drug-eluting stents use
of more than 90%. Thus,
the need of CARES
comprehensive database
as a well-advanced
electronic registry is
established as
unsurpassed quality
measurement tool for our
medical sector
procedures as well as a
professional evaluation
of our patient care &
outcomes. |
 |
|
|
|
|
►To create a standard
coronary angiography and
PCI database tool for
continuous quality
measurement that will be
useful to both
country-wide studies and
individual hospitals
seeking to improve the
quality of care & allow
standard comparisons
with local and national
practice patterns .
►To evaluate practice
trends in the use of
various PCI
technologies, such as
drug-eluting stents,
IntraVascular UltraSound
(IVUS), vascular closure
devices .. etc.
►To foster collaborative
interaction with other
cardiovascular outcome
assessment projects.
►Develop hypotheses for
future research
sub-studies.

The long term vision for CARES is to become part of the routine coronary angiogram reporting system in the most - and hopefully all- Cath.Labs of the kingdom so as to become a "standard of care", and thus |
|
connecting
them
under
the
leadership
of SACIG
group
& the
auspices
of Saudi
Heart
Association.

An ethics approval letter will be obtained from the ethics committee of each individual participated hospital. As this is a registry, there is no consent form to be collected from each individual patient in this registry for the reason that Individuals’ names & identities are un-identified designed to be encrypted during the whole study period starting from data entry & ending by the publications to be raised from this registry.
