Key result
The CAESARS software package was developed to manage and store data from 13,000 echocardiographic investigations, utilizing a local area network and translation tools to improve research accessibility.
Describes the development of a database system to store, manage, and retrieve large volumes of echocardiographic data for research purposes.
The development of a software package for cardiac echo data management, called CAESARS, is described. Using an IBM-compatible personal computer, data comprising the results of 13000 echocardiographic investigations were stored with the help of a simple database program. For each echocardiographic study a number of standard measurements and basic variables were entered. A descriptive code was used to diminish the amount of memory required to store both the diagnosis and left ventricular wall motion-data. The introduction of a local area network, providing the data to other users, made the development of a translation program inevitable, to encrypt the coded diagnosis back into natural language. Besides this 'translator' several tools were integrated in the package, making this large amount of data more easily accessible for research.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>

Mulleneers et al. (2002) studied Echocardiographic investigations (n=13,000). CAESARS software package was evaluated. The CAESARS software package was developed to manage and store data from 13,000 echocardiographic investigations, utilizing a local area network and translation tools to improve research accessibility.
