Research


NCDR™ Registries offer you a potent research tool. The registries are more powerful than clinical trials because they collect a large number of records over time. This allows for focused analysis of clinical treatment details and efficacy of devices and pharmaceuticals – the kind of focused analysis that is not possible with clinical trials.
 
The oldest of the four NCDR™ registries, the CathPCI Registry™, is available for research on percutaneous intervention outcomes. PCI researchers have produced 15 peer-reviewed journal articles and 80 abstracts presented as posters and panel talks at major cardiovascular meetings. The impact of this research is exemplified by a recent study: The Food and Drug Administration and NCDR™ jointly studied local vascular complications associated with the use of hemostasis devices following cardiac catheterization and resulting in serious injuries. The study identified safety concerns of one device, which has subsequently been withdrawn from the market.
 

 How can CathPCI Registry™ data help me in my research?

 
The ICD Registry™ is the next registry to be available for research proposals. Research proposal applications will be accepted after Jan. 1, 2007. This registry is available for research on the outcomes of defibrillators implanted in cardiac patients.
