The impact of data quality monitoring of a multicenter prospective registry of cardiac implantable electronic devices.

Data quality monitoring plays a crucial role in multicenter prospective registries. By maintaining high data accuracy, completeness, and consistency, researchers can improve the overall quality and reliability of the registry data, enabling meaningful conclusions and supporting evidence-based decisions. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate data quality metrics (completeness, accuracy, and temporal plausibility) of a Multicenter Registry of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) and to perform a direct data audit of a random sample of records to assess the agreement levels with the source documents.
