摘要：

Objective: To assess the validity of a national vascular registry. Materials and methods: 17 465 vascular and endovascular procedures, immediate reoperations excluded, registered in the Finnvasc registry from 26 centres during the years 1991-1994. Chief outcome measures: Comparison of the number of registered procedures with hospital records, comparison of initial registrations with a random sample of re-registration and comparison of the 1-year local data input of one major centre to the same data input of the central unit. Results: The rate of missing registrations sons 19% ranging from 0-47%. The data of the re-register ed forms were in agreement with the original data in 93% of all data points, the range being from 81-100%. There was,ns a difference of 1.5% in the data between the major centre and the central unit. Conclusions: The Finnvasc registry makes it possible to audit vascular surgery nationally, although a potential limitation is centres with low registration rates.
