Objectives and Design of the Russian Acute Coronary Syndrome Registry (RusACSR)

Abstract

The Russian Acute Coronary Syndrome Registry (RusACSR) is a retrospective, continuous, nationwide, Web‐based registry of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). The RusACSR is a database that uses a secure Web‐based interface for data entry by individual users. Participation in the RusACSR is voluntary. Any clinical center that provides health care to ACS patients can take part in the RusACSR. The RusACSR enrolls ACS patients who have undergone care in Russian hospitals from February 2008 to the present. Key data elements and methods of data analysis in the RusACSR are presented in this article. Up to 2015, 213 clinical centers from 36 regions of Russia had participated in the RusACSR. Currently, the database contains data on more than 250 000 ACS patients who underwent care from 2008 to 2015. Some current problems are highlighted in this article. The RusACSR is a perspective project for different epidemiologic studies in Russian ACS patients.

The management of acute myocardial infarction in the Russian Federation: protocol for a study of patient pathways

“…There are some other sources of data on the management of AMI in Russia, including a federal registry, established in 2008 and including 213 clinics in 36 centres 13 . We will draw on these data to supplement our interpretation of what we find.…”

“…Previous research has used data from a large federal registry, recording details of patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) to a network of participating hospitals 11 , 12 . However, while providing some valuable insights, results have been limited as data are collected only on the management of patients in hospital, while it is now recognised that pre- and post-hospital care, including early thrombolysis and secondary prevention also play important roles in reducing mortality 13 .…”

Application of the appropriate use criteria for coronary revascularization in patients with acute coronary syndrome in the Russian Federation (data from the federal registry)

“…Данные пациентов с ОКС были экспортированы из системы федерального регистра ОКС [9,10]. Это многоцентровый ретроспективный регистр, который содержит демографические данные, клинические характеристики, сведения о лечении (в том числе о реперфузионной терапии) больных с ОКС, поступивших последовательно и получивших лечение в стационарах Российской Федерации.…”

System of clinical quality indicators for patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome

“…В настоящее время благодаря многоцентровому Федеральному регистру ОКС [4][5][6] стало возможным контролировать лечение и его результаты у данной категории больных. Аналитическая составляющая регистра представлена показателями, которые оценивают реперфузионную терапию, медикаментозное лечение, исходы и ряд демографических характеристик больных ОКС, в том числе без подъема сегмента ST [7,8].…”
