Use of Data Registries to Evaluate Medical Procedures: Coronary Artery Surgery Study and the Balloon Valvuloplasty Registry
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 March 2009
Abstract
Large registries have been used by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to evaluate a number of medical procedures. Two of these, the Coronary Artery Surgery Study (CASS) and the Balloon Valvuloplasty Registry (BVR), are described to illustrate potential problems in using registry data to compare medical procedures.
