Development of a novel workflow method to characterize and validate clinical data quality acquired through the Veterinary Committee on Trauma registry.

Objective: To generate and apply a novel workflow method to assess the quality of data from the Veterinary Committee on Trauma (VetCOT) registry.

Animals: Canine and feline trauma patient data entered by identified and verified Veterinary Trauma Centers into the VetCOT registry between April 2017-December 2018 were retrieved for analysis.

Methods: Analysis software (RVetQual) was created in the R programming language to compare 5,000 cases exported from the VetCOT registry with samples of original corresponding records from 6 veterinary trauma centers.
