Key result
Iranian MI registries capture only 16 of 26 core data elements and use limited analytics.
Why the study?
Comparative data on data elements and data analysis methods in myocardial infarction registry systems across selected countries and Iran were lacking.
The study highlights gaps in data elements and analysis methods in Iran's myocardial infarction registry compared to established registries in the US, Switzerland, and Malaysia.
Iran's MI registry gaps warrant caution in local benchmarking; leaves open the need for data element expansion to support robust analysis.
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases have high morbidity and mortality rate. Disease registry system is a clinical information system designed and implemented for patient information management and one of the essential steps in its implementation is the analysis of collected data. Since the basis of data collection in each data registry system is data element, this research was conducted to compare data elements and data analysis in myocardial infarction registry system in selected countries and Iran.Material and Methods: This research was applied in a comparative way. The research community included the registry of myocardial infarction in the United States, Switzerland, Malaysia and Iran. The data collection method was to study the documentation and interview with the registry specialists and analyze the findings was done by drawing comparative tables.Results: Of the 26 extracted data elements, there were only 16 cases in Iran's registry system. In all registry systems, data elements were defined in the data dictionary in order to unify the definitions. Data analysis was done regularly in all three countries of the United States, Switzerland and Malaysia, but in Iran, data analysis was limited to the number of patients and the distribution of age and sex of patients.Conclusion: In this study, an overview of the data elements and the method of data analysis in the myocardial infarction registry system was presented that could be used in designing this registry system.

Tadayon et al. (2018) studied Myocardial infarction. Myocardial infarction registry systems was evaluated on Data elements and data analysis methods. Myocardial infarction registry systems in Iran contained only 16 of 26 extracted data elements compared to those in the US, Switzerland, and Malaysia, and utilized more limited data analysis methods.
