The second stage of NCVD is focused towards the PCI Registry.
There were 9,000 PCI procedures done in Malaysia yearly and it
costs the government RM 50 million a year. This amount and the
number of procedures are increasing every year. Yet, we don’t
have any information on the outcome of the procedures. After the
launching of NCVD-ACS registry, once again the cardiologists sat
together with a high strength of mind to initiate the second
registry under National Cardiovascular Disease Database (NCVD).
An opportunity for collaboration comes around with the Melbourne
Interventional Group (MIG), Australia in the process of
development of PCI registry. The NCVD-PCI registry was initiated
on the 13th January 2007; chaired by Dato’ Dr Rosli Mohd Ali,
National Heart Institute. It started with participation of 12
source data providers (SDP) involving government, universities
and private hospitals throughout Malaysia.

The objectives are to: |
|
i. |
Determine the number,
evaluate and monitor the outcomes of percutaneous
coronary intervention (PCI) based on selected
performance indicators. |
|
ii. |
Determine the cost to the nation by cardiovascular
disease and the cost-effectiveness of treatment and
prevention programs. |
|
iii. |
Determine the efficiency of, and adherence to
current guidelines of treatment guidelines. |
|
iv. |
Stimulate and facilitate research of cardiovascular
disease using this database. |
|
v. |
Facilitate quality improvement activities, e.g. DBT
in Primary PCI. |
|
vi. |
As a reference for future studies, etc volume,
pattern of practice, temporal trend, etc. Facilitate
future research; benchmark with other National
Registries. |
Latest reporting:
From 1st January 2007 to date 19th August 2008, a total of 5,305
cases were reported online by 9 SDPs.
NCVD is grateful to the supportive SDPs for their precious
efforts in submitting their data.
Thank you very much!
