Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Outcomes Registry – Baseline Data
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death and morbidity in Australia. CVD was the primary diagnosis in 11% of hospitalisations in Australia in 2015-16, with the largest proportion of those being for Coronary Heart Disease (CHD).
The free-text, paper-based and siloed nature of health data in Australia prevents the large-scale collection of high-quality baseline patient and clinical outcomes data for cardiovascular research and large-scale quality assurance and monitoring programs. This project will leverage the established and proven data collection processes at Eastern Heart Clinic to build a robust, multicentre, prospective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes registry.
