The ACIRA Registry: A Regional Tool to Improve the Healthcare Pathway for Patients Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Interventions and Coronary Angiographies in the French Aquitaine Region: Study Design and First Results

Conclusions: ACIRA has shown its ability to study the patient IC healthcare pathway, up to 1 year after the procedure. Nominative data enable the linkage between clinical and medico-administrative databases and possible supplementary data collection. The use of existing databases allowed us to limit patients lost to follow-up, prevent the double entry of data, improve data quality, and reduce the operating costs. The prospect of linkage with the French National Health Data System may offer promising opportunities for future medical research projects and for developing collaboration and benchmarking with other IC registries abroad.
