Abstract

The Western Denmark Heart Registry (WDHR) is a semi-national, multicenter-based clinical registry with unique potential for cardiovascular research. The registry has provided detailed prospectively registered information on patient and procedure characteristics since 1999. WDHR data can be linked to additional data in other healthcare registries in Denmark. Therefore, the WDHR is a valuable data resource for cardiovascular research, providing a foundation for numerous research projects and publications. This review describes three currently available cohorts from the WDHR containing individual-level information on: i) 200,647 first-time coronary angiographies from 2003 to 2021, ii) 88,630 first-time percutaneous coronary interventions from 1999 to 2022, and iii) 85,512 first-time coronary computed tomography angiographies from 2008 to 2021. Furthermore, we describe other frequently cross-linked Danish healthcare registries containing information on various patient characteristics and outcomes, such as vital status, cause of death, hospitalizations, medications, and laboratory test results. The comprehensive overview of these cohorts aims to assist researchers, collaborators, and other interested parties in understanding the scope and potential applications of the available data. All cohorts are regularly updated, thereby supporting continuing research on cardiovascular clinical practice and prognosis in Denmark.

期刊介绍： Clinical Epidemiology is an international, peer reviewed, open access journal. Clinical Epidemiology focuses on the application of epidemiological principles and questions relating to patients and clinical care in terms of prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Clinical Epidemiology welcomes papers covering these topics in form of original research and systematic reviews. Clinical Epidemiology has a special interest in international electronic medical patient records and other routine health care data, especially as applied to safety of medical interventions, clinical utility of diagnostic procedures, understanding short- and long-term clinical course of diseases, clinical epidemiological and biostatistical methods, and systematic reviews. When considering submission of a paper utilizing publicly-available data, authors should ensure that such studies add significantly to the body of knowledge and that they use appropriate validated methods for identifying health outcomes. The journal has launched special series describing existing data sources for clinical epidemiology, international health care systems and validation studies of algorithms based on databases and registries.
