Abstract
-
Incidence of vascular diseases in Korea has been increasing and their researches are undertaken actively. However, experience of single institute about various vascular diseases is to be limited, a nationwide vascular registry is needed for sharing common protocols and experiences. We devolped a customized vascular registry program calling VasBase for nation-wide sharing and analysis. The characteristics of VasBase are as follows; clinician-oriented intuitive software, complete adherence to vascular protocols based on practical experiences, error-free input by presetting numeric codes, data protection, multi-user tasking, integration of graphic data, open source, easy modification of protocol and one-step export to statistical analysis software. We propose this VasBase as a nation-wide vascular registry program.
