To evaluate the purpose, organizational structure, collected variables, population coverage, and completeness of 103 Swedish Healthcare Quality Registries.
Reviewed 2012 applications and annual reports submitted to the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) for 103 quality registries between March and September 2013.
Validated extracted registry metrics by contacting each registry coordinator at least twice between June and October 2013.
Approximately 60% of the surveyed quality registries achieved target population coverage (completeness) of ≥80%.
Registries consistently collected disease management parameters, including diagnostic classification, clinical characteristics, therapeutic interventions, and lead times.
Multiple registries incorporated self-reported quality-of-life indices (EQ-5D, SF-36), lifestyle factors such as smoking, and general health measures including BMI, blood pressure, and WHO performance status.
