Process and value of establishing acute minor stroke database based on REDCap / 中风与神经疾病杂志

ABSTRACT

@#Objective To design an interactive and shared electronic database for long-term follow-up management of patients with acute minor stroke (NIHSS≤5) using REDCap,and to explore the value of establishing this database,trying to provide new ideas for clinical treatment. Methods The CRF table of case report was designed according to the relevant data of patients in hospital and the requirements of follow-up management. The nosocomial case data of patients with acute minor stroke (NIHSS≤5) from 3 stroke centers in Shanxi Province were collected and recorded on the CRF form of case reports. An interactive shared electronic database was designed by REDCap,and the data in CRF table were checked and revised and entered into the database. Patients were followed up at 3 months and 1 year after onset. Results Based on REDCap system,a database of acute minor stroke ( NIHSS≤5) in Shanxi Province was established and used in clinical practice. The number of patients expected to be included has been achieved. Its data entry,data quality control,user rights management and data export functions can be stable operation. Conclusion The interactive sharing clinical database of acute minor stroke ( NIHSS≤5) is established by redcap,which has the advantages of simple interface operation,convenient communication,timely entry,and multi-access. It provides a powerful tool for longitudinal data collection,reducing deviation in research,and comprehensively implementing and coordinating project research. It ensures the reliability of research results and has clinical research value.
