The impact of data quality assurance and control solutions on the completeness, accuracy, and consistency of data in a national spinal cord injury registry of Iran (NSCIR-IR).
Article in Spinal cord series and cases, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveThis study aimed to develop and evaluate a systematic arrangement for improvement and monitoring of data quality of the National Spinal Cord (and Column) Injury Registry of Iran (NSCIR-IR)-a multicenter hospital-based registry.

methodsQuality assurance and quality control were the primary objectives in improving overall quality of data that were considered in designing a paper-based and computerized case report. To prevent incorrect data entry, we implemented several validation algorithms, including 70 semantic rules, 18 syntactic rules, seven temporal rules, and 13 rules for acceptable value range. Qualified and trained staff members were also employed to review and identify any defect, inaccuracy, or inconsistency in the data to improve data quality. A set of functions were implemented in the software to cross-validate, and feedback on data was provided by reviewers and registrars.
resultsSocio-demographic data items were 100% complete, except for national ID and education level, which were 97% and 92.3% complete, respectively. Completeness of admission data and emergency medical services data were 100% except for arrival and transfer time (99.4%) and oxygen saturation (48.9%). Evaluation of data received from two centers located in Tehran proved to be 100% accurate following validation by quality reviewers. All data was also found to be 100% consistent.
conclusionsThis approach to quality assurance and consistency validation proved to be effective. Our solutions resulted in a significant decrease in the number of missing data.
