Abstract
INTRODUCTION-
In recent years, advancements in digital technology and increasing use of electronic medical records in health systems have led to the dramatic growth in large clinical data sets.
Clinical data registries are organized systems that collect data on patients diagnosed with a disease or condition or who undergo a certain procedure.
Methods: A search of the PUBMED database was conducted in January 2018 for clinical registries in ophthalmology.
Results: Ninety-seven clinical eye registries were found.
As the numbers and scope of clinical registries have expanded, valuable observational data have been used to study real-world clinical outcomes in healthcare quality measurement and improvement and to develop new guidelines and standards.
Conclusions: The use of clinical registries for quality improvement and research has grown significantly in the last few decades.
