- A national registry for congenital heart disease (CHD) in Canada aims to streamline research, cut costs, and enhance statistical power by automatically identifying CHD patients from existing clinical data.
- This project successfully extracted data from 885,287 echocardiogram reports and 70,121 clinical records, identifying over 43,000 children and nearly 5,000 fetuses with CHD.
- The initial registry in Québec demonstrates the potential for a centralized, user-friendly database that can support various CHD research projects and potentially expand to a national level.
