摘要
Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality globally, with most deaths occurring in low- and middle-income countries. The present study aims to provide an overview of the characteristics of the national registries managed by member societies of the Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology (APSC). Methods: The APSC website was searched to identify member countries of the society. Using a combination of keywords, PubMed and Google advanced search were trawled to identify cardiovascular registries from each member country and publications generated from these registries. The number of citations each publication received was identified and correlated with the characteristics of each registry. Results: The search found 12 of the 23 member countries (52.2%) had developed a national cardiovascular registry; seven had acute coronary syndrome (ACS) registries and five had acute myocardial infarction (AMI) registries. The registries were primarily established to assess and improve cardiovascular care, and generated a total of 318 articles, a median of 11 articles per registry. There were variations in numbers of articles produced as well as in citations received, with more publications from high-income countries than middle-income countries. Conclusion: The majority of member countries of the APSC have established national ACS and AMI registries. While there were some inherent differences between countries in terms of output, these registries provide an invaluable resource for benchmarking cardiovascular care and could help contribute to local guidelines development.
