Key result
Audit-feedback education nearly doubles cholesterol recording in ischemic heart disease from ~48% to 89%.
Why the study?
Does an educational intervention involving feedback of routinely collected computer data improve cardiovascular disease management in primary care?
Does an educational intervention involving feedback of routinely collected computer data improve cardiovascular disease management in primary care?
Absolute Event Rate: 89% vs 47.6%
Feedback of routinely collected primary care data in an educational context significantly improves the management of cardiovascular risk factors.

May support data feedback for cholesterol management in primary care; leaves open whether RCTs confirm reduced cardiovascular events.
Simon de Lusignan (2007) studied Cardiovascular disease (Ischemic Heart Disease, Atrial Fibrillation, Chronic Kidney Disease) (n=112,215). Educational intervention with feedback of routinely collected computer data vs. Historical baseline (pre-intervention) was evaluated on Cholesterol recording in ischemic heart disease. An educational intervention involving feedback of routinely collected computer data increased cholesterol recording from 47.6% to 89.0% and reduced mean cholesterol levels from 5.18 to 4.67 mmol/L.
