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.

The British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS), in conjunction with Dendrite Clinical Systems, published the First UK National Flap Registry (UKNFR) Report - first national registry of its type in the world to collect data on all major pedicled and free flap operations. The UKNFR, which was launched in August 2015, collects information on all major free and pedicled flap operations carried out in the UK. This cross-specialty registry is supported by the British Association of Head and Neck Oncologists (BAHNO), the British Association of Oral Maxillofacial Surgeons (BAOMS) and the Association of Breast Surgery (ABS) and the British Society for Surgery of the Hand (BSSH). The report includes 5,751 operation records from over 180 registered consultants from 97 private and NHS hospitals in England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland (surgeons in Scotland are awaiting permission to join this project from the Public Benefit and Privacy Panel (PBPP) for Health and Social Care).
