VA Research: Informatics

From "VA Research Fact Sheet: Informatics"

Investigators used data from a national cardiovascular registry to implement a continuous surveillance program to monitor post-surgical outcomes for implantable vascular-closure devices. Researchers from the VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System and other institutions analyzed 73,124 patients who had received Mynx devices. They found that prospective, active surveillance of a clinical registry could rapidly identify potential safety signals. (N Engl J Med, Feb. 9, 2017)
