| The Registry of Myocardial Infarctions (MI Registry) is a national registry in Iran that collects and reports the data on myocardial infarctions. Its main advantage is that it covers the whole country and is mandatory for hospitals to register the MI cases in it. Then, the qualified individuals at the provincial and national levels can get intended reports and make appropriate decisions. Such reports, further to the policy makers and managers, can be very valuable for researchers.The registry is a unique and comprehensive source of data that can provide priceless reports which can be used in management, policy making, resource allocation, and for research purposes. The data of MI patients from all around the country are entered into the registry by the hospitals in which the MI patients are admitted. The data include the demographic information (name, gender, date of birth, literacy, nationality, health insurance, city, and province), admission data (date and time of the first signs of the attack, date and time of admission in the hospital emergency department, date and time of admission in cardiac care unit-CCU, name of the doctor, and the number of patient’s medical record), medical history (coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol, number of cigarettes if smoking, history of CABG and/or PCI and its date), clinical condition (the patient’s condition in terms of rhythm and heart block according to the diagnosis of the doctor), interventions (thrombolytic therapy, CABG, PCI, and date and time of each intervention if applied), laboratory results (positive or negative Troponin T and Troponin I, amount of CPKMB, maximum Troponin T and Troponin I, and date and time of each laboratory test), and the discharge information (the patient’s status when discharged from CCU-stable or dead, prescribed drugs, final diagnosis, and date and time of discharge). |
