Why the study?
Despite remarkable growth in national cardiac registries, the quality of processes ensuring data completeness and accuracy remains variable and few countries have integrated registries across multiple subspecialties.
There is variable quality in data completeness and accuracy processes among national cardiac registries, with a lack of integration across subspecialty domains.
Clinicians should interpret national cardiac registry data with caution; extends evidence of inconsistent quality and limited multi-domain integration.
There has been remarkable growth in the uptake of national cardiac registries across the last few decades. However, the quality of processes used to ensure data completeness and accuracy remain variable and few countries have integrated registries covering multiple subspecialty domains. Clinicians, funders, and health policymakers should be encouraged to focus on the range, quality, and integration of these registries.
