Proposal for a patient database on cardiac interventional exposures for epidemiological studies.

Abstract:

:Relatively high organ doses absorbed by patients in interventional cardiology suggest the opportunity to define these patients as a cohort to be followed forward in time in an epidemiological study of the cancer risks associated with exposure to low-dose ionising radiation. In this paper, the UNSCEAR 2000 Report risk estimates for the most exposed organs/tissues in cardiac interventional procedures are reviewed, as well as the critical features of such an epidemiological study that is anticipated to have an intrinsically low statistical power because of the low levels of risk and possible confounding factors. To overcome these limitations, data collected in different institutions can be combined provided that a common design and conduct are used for dose assessment. A minimum dataset to be collected on a patient basis is proposed that can be implemented routinely in most facilities. This data should be linked to the local patient information system in order to retrieve all the exposures of a given patient.
