          <p> Nossa institui&#231;&#227;o implementou em 2009 um Registro de Infarto Agudo do Mioc&#225;rdio (RIAM), com a inclus&#227;o prospectiva e consecutiva de todos os pacientes com diagn&#243;stico de IAMCST que internaram na institui&#231;&#227;o. No per&#237;odo de mar&#231;o de 2014 a abril de 2016 foi realizada a migra&#231;&#227;o para o sistema <italic>online</italic> com o <italic>software</italic> REDCap e expans&#227;o do registro para outros centros. A plataforma REDCap &#233; um <italic>software</italic> de uso gratuito disponibilizado pela Universidade <italic>Vanderbilt</italic> a institui&#231;&#245;es interessadas em pesquisa, mediante cadastramento pr&#233;vio.</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Resultados</title>
          <p> Foram realizadas as seguintes etapas do aprimoramento e expans&#227;o do registro: 1. Padroniza&#231;&#227;o das vari&#225;veis; 2. Implementa&#231;&#227;o do <italic>software</italic> REDCap ( <italic>Research Electronic Data Capture</italic> ) institucional; 3. Desenvolvimento de formul&#225;rios de coleta de dados ( <italic>Case Report Form</italic> - CRF); 4. Expans&#227;o do registro para outros centros de refer&#234;ncia utilizando o <italic>software</italic> REDCap; 5. Treinamento da equipe e dos centros participantes pelo POP (Procedimento Operacional Padr&#227;o).</p>

      <p>Neste estudo descrevemos o processo de implanta&#231;&#227;o de um banco de dados em IAMCST em um hospital de refer&#234;ncia e sua aplica&#231;&#227;o para outros centros dentro do territ&#243;rio nacional, utilizando uma plataforma <italic>online</italic> . Foram detalhados os processos de padroniza&#231;&#227;o das vari&#225;veis, implementa&#231;&#227;o do <italic>software</italic> REDCap institucional, desenvolvimento de formul&#225;rios de coleta de dados ( <italic>Case Report Form</italic> - CRF), expans&#227;o do registro para outros centros de refer&#234;ncia utilizando o <italic>software</italic> REDCap e treinamento da equipe e dos centros participantes pelo POP (Procedimento Operacional Padr&#227;o).</p>
      <p>Os ensaios cl&#237;nicos randomizados (ECR) s&#227;o o padr&#227;o-ouro para demonstrar a efic&#225;cia de uma determinada interven&#231;&#227;o e constituem a base te&#243;rica para a formula&#231;&#227;o de diretrizes. Dados observacionais como os obtidos em registros cl&#237;nicos complementam a evid&#234;ncia cient&#237;fica dos ECRs ao demonstrar efetividade na pr&#225;tica cl&#237;nica.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">24</xref></sup> Registros nacionais representativos da popula&#231;&#227;o de pacientes com IAMCST, com an&#225;lise das caracter&#237;sticas cl&#237;nicas, terap&#234;uticas e dos desfechos, s&#227;o necess&#225;rios para avaliar a pr&#225;tica cl&#237;nica no nosso meio, al&#233;m de permitir mensurar a ades&#227;o &#224;s diretrizes, desenvolver ferramentas para a estratifica&#231;&#227;o de risco e guiar pol&#237;ticas p&#250;blicas para melhorar o tratamento desta patologia no nosso meio.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">26</xref></sup> Para a avalia&#231;&#227;o dos desfechos &#233; necess&#225;ria a padroniza&#231;&#227;o das vari&#225;veis utilizando como refer&#234;ncia a terminologia padr&#227;o, permitindo a compara&#231;&#227;o com os resultados de outros estudos como registros internacionais e ECRs, al&#233;m de proporcionar colabora&#231;&#227;o com troca de informa&#231;&#245;es entre diferentes centros de atendimento de pacientes com IAMCST. Durante o processo de aprimoramento e padroniza&#231;&#227;o das vari&#225;veis do nosso registro foi utilizado como refer&#234;ncia o registro de IAMCST da NCDR, coordenado pela ACCF, sendo identificado o mesmo perfil de vari&#225;veis entre os bancos de dados RIAM e NCDR.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref></sup></p>
      <p>Os registros que buscam uma representatividade e abrang&#234;ncia nacional devem incluir o maior n&#250;mero consecutivo de pacientes, sendo importante a coleta de dados eficiente e de qualidade associada &#224; m&#237;nima interfer&#234;ncia na pr&#225;tica cl&#237;nica.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref></sup> O <italic>software</italic> REDCap, desenvolvido pela <italic>Vanderbilt University</italic> , possui as caracter&#237;sticas necess&#225;rias para servir de ferramenta para a coleta e armazenamento dos dados. Entre as funcionalidades do <italic>software</italic> est&#227;o uma interface intuitiva para a edi&#231;&#227;o de formul&#225;rios de coleta de dados (CRF), f&#225;cil inser&#231;&#227;o de dados com a op&#231;&#227;o de dupla digita&#231;&#227;o, valida&#231;&#227;o em tempo real dos dados, possibilidade de auditoria dos dados, seguran&#231;a no armazenamento e troca de informa&#231;&#245;es, assim como fun&#231;&#227;o de exporta&#231;&#227;o para pacotes estat&#237;sticos.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref></sup></p>
      <p>A decis&#227;o de focar este artigo na metodologia da implanta&#231;&#227;o de um banco de dados com o uso do <italic>software</italic> REDCap visa servir de modelo para o desenvolvimento de registros cl&#237;nicos de qualidade, al&#233;m de facilitar a integra&#231;&#227;o dos centros de pesquisa do registro RIAM.</p>

        <title>Limita&#231;&#245;es</title>
        <p>A implementa&#231;&#227;o e expans&#227;o desse estudo observacional do tipo registro apresenta como uma das suas limita&#231;&#245;es a falta de integra&#231;&#227;o do prontu&#225;rio eletr&#244;nico com o banco de dados, ocasionando aumento da carga de trabalho e, eventualmente, a necessidade de pessoal dedicado &#224; pesquisa durante a assist&#234;ncia dos pacientes. A avalia&#231;&#227;o de dados de registros cl&#237;nicos deve levar em conta a necessidade de consentimento informado para a obten&#231;&#227;o de dados, acarretando no risco da n&#227;o inclus&#227;o da totalidade de pacientes eleg&#237;veis no caso de negativa na participa&#231;&#227;o, al&#233;m da possibilidade do paciente alterar seus h&#225;bitos pela ci&#234;ncia de estar participando de um estudo, mesmo que observacional (efeito <italic>Hawthorne</italic> ).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">27</xref></sup></p>
        <p>Dentre as limita&#231;&#245;es, deve ser destacado que, apesar do RIAM apresentar a possibilidade de ter abrang&#234;ncia nacional, o mesmo incluiu apenas centros da regi&#227;o Sul do Brasil, com exce&#231;&#227;o de um centro no Distrito Federal, limitando a representatividade desta base de dados de pacientes com IAMCST. A inclus&#227;o de novos centros, obedecendo o crit&#233;rio de apresentarem tratamento intervencionista do IAMCST nas 24 horas do dia nos 7 dias da semana, &#233; o pr&#243;ximo passo ap&#243;s a consolida&#231;&#227;o da fase operacional inicial do RIAM.</p>

      <p>Neste estudo descrevemos a log&#237;stica e sistem&#225;tica do desenvolvimento de um registro cl&#237;nico de pacientes com IAMCST na plataforma digital REDCap, adaptado de um registro cl&#237;nico j&#225; existente. Estes dados podem ser &#250;teis para institui&#231;&#245;es que planejam criar novos registros ou aprimorar os que j&#225; existem. A padroniza&#231;&#227;o da opera&#231;&#227;o dos registros e uso de bancos de dados dedicados possibilitam a otimiza&#231;&#227;o desta ferramenta, tanto em rela&#231;&#227;o a sua qualidade quanto a rapidez da sua implementa&#231;&#227;o. A utiliza&#231;&#227;o de sistemas semelhantes tamb&#233;m pode facilitar o compartilhamento de informa&#231;&#245;es entre institui&#231;&#245;es, o desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias em sa&#250;de e auxiliar na tomada de decis&#227;o de pol&#237;ticas p&#250;blicas em doen&#231;as cardiovasculares.</p>

          <title>Background</title>
          <p>Multicenter registries representing the real world can be a significant source of information, but few studies exist describing the methodology to implement these tools.</p>
        </sec>

          <title>Objective</title>
          <p>To describe the process of implementing a database of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) at a reference hospital, and the application of this process to other centers by means of an online platform.</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Methods</title>
          <p>In 2009, our institution implemented an Registry of Acute Myocardial Infarction (RIAM), with the prospective and consecutive inclusion of every patient admitted to the institution who received a diagnosis of STEMI. From March 2014 to April 2016, the registries were uploaded to a web-based system using the REDCap software and the registry was expanded to other centers. Upon subscription, the REDCap platform is a noncommercial software made available by Vanderbilt University to institutions interested in research.</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Results</title>
          <p>The following steps were taken to improve and expand the registry: 1. Standardization of variables; 2. Implementation of institutional REDCap (Research Electronic Data Capture); 3. Development of data collection forms (Case Report Form - CRF); 4. Expansion of registry to other reference centers using the REDCap software; 5. Training of teams and participating centers following an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Conclusion</title>
          <p>The description of the methodology used to implement and expand the RIAM may help other centers and researchers to conduct similar studies, share information between institutions, develop new health technologies, and assist public policies regarding cardiovascular diseases.

        <title>Introduction</title>
        <p>Ischemic cardiomyopathy (IC) is one of the leading causes of death in the world.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref></sup> According to DATASUS (Brazilian Basic Health Indicators and Data), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is the leading cause of death from heart disease in Brazil, but information on clinical characteristics and treatment received by most patients with AMI in the country are poorly known.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref></sup> Many international registries of acute coronary syndromes have been published, which include the collaboration of some Brazilian centers:<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref></sup> however, only a few nationwide studies reporting AMI treatment outcomes have been published so far.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref></sup></p>
        <p>The management of registry data demands technological support for their storage in computerized databases, with software that provides safe, reliable and easy access to data. Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) is a software for clinical data capture and storage which is widely used for clinical research. It is a fast and secure web application currently used by 3,175 institutions in 128 countries.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">7</xref></sup> Few studies have reported in detail the methodology of recording clinical data in cardiology, and references describing the steps for the implementation of a clinical registry and for the use of REDCap as an online platform are scarce.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">8</xref> - <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref></sup></p>
        <p>The Instituto de Cardiologia do Rio Grande do Sul/Funda&#231;&#227;o Universit&#225;ria de Cardiologia (IC/FUC) started the Registry of Acute Myocardial Infarction (RIAM) in 2009, with consecutive, prospective and uninterrupted data collection since it was implemented.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref></sup> A national ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) registry derived from the expansion of a registry such as RIAM could be a source of representative data for this pathology in Brazil. The aim of this study is to describe the implementation of a STEMI database in a reference hospital as well as the use of an online platform to apply it to other centers across the national territory.</p>

        <title>Methods</title>
        <p>This section describes the steps taken to migrate the RIAM database from Microsoft Access into the online system and to expand the registry to reference hospitals treating STEMI across the national territory. This took place from March 2014 to April 2016 and included the standardization of variables; the implementation of dedicated software (REDCap); the development of data collection forms; and the inclusion of new centers with staff training.</p>

          <title>RIAM and the expansion to other centers</title>
          <p>RIAM is a prospective and consecutive clinical registry of STEMI patients treated at IC/FUC, in Porto Alegre/RS, Brazil. The registry was started in 2009 and currently has more than 3,500 patients. This initiative contributed to new studies with ideas for scientific and technological research in the institution.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref></sup> IC/FUC will coordinate the expansion to seven other national centers, initially.</p>
        </sec>
        <sec>
          <title>Eligibility and workflow</title>
          <p>The inclusion criteria were patients aged at least 18 years old and STEMI with less than 12 hours of symptoms. Patients with more than 12 hours of symptoms and reporting chest pain at admission are also included. The registry was approved by the Ethics Committee of IC/FUC number 5025/14, with registration in Plataforma Brasil (CAAE: 38352714.0.0000.5333), and each participating center will also submit it for approval in their local institutional ethics committees. All patients are required to sign an informed consent form and their data will be collected in accordance with the principles of the current revision of the Declaration of Helsinki and the latest version of the Good Clinical Practice Guidelines (ICH-GCP), as well as Resolution 466/12 of the Brazilian National Health Council.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref> - <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref></sup> The study was expanded according to Brazilian legal and regulatory requirements.</p>

          <title>Standardization of variables</title>
          <p>The nomenclature assigned to the variables already used in the Microsoft Access&#8482; database were compared with internationally standardized variables to ensure the information in the registry is compatible with other national and international databases.</p>
          <p>Variables were standardized based on the American College of Cardiology Foundation (ACCF) and American Heart Association (AHA) clinical data standards for acute coronary syndromes and coronary artery diseases, published in 2013. They were also based on data element forms from the National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR), the ACTION Registry&#174;-GWTG&#8482; (NCDR&#174; ACTION Registry&#174;-GWTG&#8482; v2.4 Coder's Data Dictionary, replaced by the NCDR&#174; Chest Pain - MI Registry&#8482; v3.0 Coder's Data Dictionary as of June 2018), an ACCF-coordinated quality care program for patients with MI.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref></sup> For national data regarding ethnicity the classification recommended by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE)<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref></sup> was used.

          <title>Deployment of REDCap software</title>
          <p>REDCap was the software used by means of an online platform. It is internationally acknowledged for its security and applicability for clinical data capture and storage. The system is based on the international model by the Duke Clinical Research Institute, complying with international security requirements as well as with the Brazilian National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref></sup></p>
          <p>Some of the features of REDCap are: (1) an intuitive interface for validated data entry, with automated data type and range checks; (2) audit trails for tracking data manipulation and export procedures, (3) automated data export procedures for common statistical packages and (4) procedures for importing data from external sources.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref></sup> Data collection is performed on any device with internet access such as a computer, tablet or smartphone, or even offline via the REDCap application, which synchronizes the data once there is internet access.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref></sup></p>
          <p>REDCap is a noncommercial secure web-based database management solution offered by the Center for Research Informatics (CRI). It is used for the collection and management of research data and was developed following guidelines from the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref></sup> After obtaining a license from Vanderbilt University, the software was hosted on a local server protected by the IC/FUC system firewall.</p>
          <p>Access requires an individual username and password requested and approved by the local software manager at the institution. REDCap allowed the creation of a CRF, which contained the standardized variables of the study.</p>

          <title>Development of a data collection form (Case report form - CRF)</title>
          <p>The electronic data form &#8211; <italic>Case Report Form</italic> (CRF) was developed using REDCap. <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f02001">Figure 2</xref> shows the necessary steps to set up the CRF.</p>

          </p>
          <p>The steps for the creation of a CRF followed the guidelines of the software. Within the third step, a pilot test was run with patients randomly chosen from the Microsoft Access&#8482; RIAM database for the purpose of CRF validation. Automated export procedures for data download for programs such as Microsoft Excel and common statistical packages such as SPSS, SAS and R were performed to ensure software security and reliability.</p>

          <title>Registry Expansion to other reference centers using the institutional REDCap</title>
          <p>Invited centers were selected because of the existence of interventional cardiology sectors with STEMI treatment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

          <p>RIAM registry protocols were created to include participating centers to then start multicenter expansion. These protocols were sent by email in PDF (Portable Document Format) for later printing, completion and signature. Once signed, the protocols were sent back to the coordinating center via scanner, email, mail or personally delivered to the RIAM registry coordinators.</p>

          <title>Training - SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)</title>
          <p>Before data collection, the principal investigator and their researchers received an email with a link to access REDCap and an individual username and password, which upon receipt may request the creation of a new password, ensuring the confidentiality of the researcher in institutional REDCap.</p>
          <p>The training focused on the goal of the registry, clarifying the process of collecting and entering data into REDCap. The SOP for data collection ensures standardized and consistent data collection and contains a description of all data elements, including their definitions and procedures to be used while entering data ( <xref ref-type="fig" rid="f04001">Figure 4</xref> ). In addition, online and face-to-face training was provided to researchers to clarify possible questions about the data collection process. Data entry activities were monitored online.</p>

          <p>For the generation of automated quality control reports and to prevent incomplete data, the main variables were included as required data, and the limits were defined as minimum and maximum ranges for numerical variables ( <italic>ranges</italic> ). Missing data reports ( <italic>missing</italic> ) were sporadically generated for internal checking of the required variable ( <italic>records</italic> ). Field validation reports for checking incorrect data were also generated, as well as numeric field reports for checking non-standard, invalid, or unfilled variables.

        <title>Discussion</title>
        <p>In this study, we described the process of implementing a STEMI database in a reference hospital and its application to other centers across the national territory through the use of a web-based platform. We also detailed the processes for standardization of variables, implementation of institutional REDCap software, development of case report forms (CRF), expansion of the registry to other reference centers using the REDCap software, and training of staff and participating centers using an SOP (Standard Operating Procedure).</p>
        <p>Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are the gold standard for demonstrating the effectiveness of a given intervention and form the theoretical basis for formulating guidelines. Observational data such as those obtained from clinical records complement scientific evidence of RCTs by demonstrating effectiveness in clinical practice.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B24">24</xref></sup> The assessment of clinical practice in Brazil requires access to national records representing the STEMI patient population to provide the analysis of clinical and therapeutic characteristics in addition to its outcomes. Besides that, it allows to measure compliance to guidelines, develop risk stratification tools and inform public policies to improve the treatment of this pathology in our country.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">26</xref></sup> The evaluation of outcomes requires the standardization of variables using standard terminology, thus allowing comparison with results from other studies such as international registries and RCTs. It also promotes collaboration from information exchange across STEMI patient care centers. During the process of improvement and standardization of variables in our registry, the NCDR STEMI registry coordinated by the ACCF was used as a reference, and the same variable profile was found both in RIAM and NCDR databases.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref> , <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref></sup></p>
        <p>Any registry seeking national representativeness and coverage should include the largest number of consecutive patients and an association of quality and efficiency in data collection. In addition to that, it is important to keep minimal interference in clinical practice.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref></sup> REDCap, developed by Vanderbilt University, has the necessary features to serve as a tool for data collection and storage. Software features include an intuitive interface for editing data collection forms (CRF), easy data entry with double-typing, real-time data validation, data auditability, security in storage and information exchange, and an export function for statistical packages.<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref></sup></p>
        <p>The decision to focus this article on the methodology of implementing a database using REDCap aims to serve as a benchmark in the development of quality clinical registries, as well as to make integration of RIAM research centers friendly.</p>
        <sec>
          <title>Limitations</title>
          <p>One limitation in the implementation and expansion of this observational, registry-based study is the absence of integration between electronic medical records and database, which causes increased workload and, eventually, the need for dedicated research staff during patient care. The evaluation of clinical registry data should also consider the need for informed consent in data collection, which jeopardizes the inclusion of all eligible patients in the event of one single negative participation. It should also consider the possibility of a change of behavior because of the patient's awareness of their participation in a study, even if observational (Hawthorne effect).<sup><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B27">27</xref></sup></p>

        <title>Conclusion</title>
        <p>In this study, we described the logistics and systematics of developing a clinical registry of STEMI patients in the digital platform REDCap, adapted from an existing clinical registry. This data may be useful for institutions planning to elaborate new registries or improve existing ones. The standardization of registry operation and the use of dedicated databases allow to optimize this tool in terms of quality and speed of implementation. The use of similar systems can also make sharing information across institutions easier as well as assist the development of new health technologies and in the decision making of public policies regarding cardiovascular disease.</p>
