Dendrite Clinical Systems is delighted to report that our Managing Director, Dr Peter Walton, has published a chapter discussing the value of clinical registries in new publication on Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy (LSG). In his Chapter, Dr Peter Walton outlines value of national bariatric registries and their capability to deliver evidence on a global basis, as well as providing some practical perspectives on best practice when setting out to start a national registry and how to keep a good registry going.
Dendrite Clinical Systems and the Institute for Health Research (IGES) in Berlin, Germany, have initiated the Outpatient Treatment of COVID-19 Infections (ABC-19) study, to record data on the treatment of COVID-19 patients and discover more about the outpatient course of the disease, the individual risk factors of patients that contribute to severe COVID-19 courses and the procedures of general practitioners (GPs).
Researchers at the University College London and University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust), London, UK, have reported that the vast majority of participants with new onset loss of smell were positive for COVID19, and this acute loss of sense of smell needs to be considered globally as a criterion for self-isolation, testing and contact tracing in order to contain the spread of COVID-19.
Dendrite Clinical Systems’ innovative “Intellect Web” software has been chosen by an international group of 17 leading diabetes experts from the multidisciplinary Diabetes Surgery Summit (DSS), as the platform on which the CoviDiab project will establish a Global Registry to collect new cases of diabetes in patients with COVID-19.
Dendrite to install new Data Analysis System in Al Babtain Hospital, Saudi Arabia
Dendrite Clinical Systems has received an order to extend the clinical database system and install its new Data Analysis System at the Al Babtain Hospital, Dammam, Saudi Arabia. Dendrite’s unique clinical database system includes four types of analytics and reports:
- Visual dashboard
- Flexible data analysis tools
- Data export and filtering
- Clinical documents (such as operation notes and discharge summaries)
The Visual Dashboard facilitates real-time data analysis dashboard reflecting the required analysis/reporting needs. This dashboard can be available to the Registry Administrator (reflecting combined registry data) as well as to each registry user (reflecting their individual data).
Dendrite’s system incorporates exceptional data analysis tools allowing users to easily build their own visual analysis graphs with their data including:
- Building (and saving) new graphs
- Modifying existing graphs (excluding/filtering data)
- Creating different patient cohorts
- Automatically calculating key statistical values (e.g. median, σ, percentile, shift, etc.)
- Saving and exporting graphs/tables in various formats (PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG and XLS) e.g. for reports, presentations.
This tool includes several modules to build different types of graphs, including:
- Distribution analysis (analysis by one field, e.g. age distribution)
- Cross-tabulation (analysis by two fields, e.g. age by gender)
- Multi-cohort analysis (graphs combining multiple cohorts)
- Run analysis
- Shewhart analysis
- XmR
- CUSUM analysis
- VLAD
- Actuarial curves
- Funnel plots
- Timelines
- Events analysis
The Dendrite system also includes an in-built Web Intellect Report Editor (WIRE) tool enabling the local Database Administrator at the hospital to build templates for local clinical documents such as discharge letters, operation reports – allowing clinical users to automatically generate these documents for patients from the database system.
