Utrecht Cardiovasculair Cohort – Cardiovasculair Risico Management
Afkorting
UCC-CVRM
Beschrijving

All patients who come for a first-time visit to one of the departments of the Center for Circulatory Health at the UMC Utrecht for the evaluation of a symptomatic vascular disease or an asymptomatic vascular condition, are enrolled. A minimum set of data, according to the Dutch Cardiovascular Risk Management Guidelines, is collected in all patients at all departments. A questionnaire is completed which includes demographic data, medical history, family history of premature

CVD, physical activity, smoking, alcohol consumption, obstetric history and medication use. Measurements taken during the first visit in the hospital include body weight, height, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, serum lipids (total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides), glycated haemoglobin (Hb1Ac), renal function (serum creatinine with eGFR estimated using the Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology (CKD-EPI) formula), and haemoglobin. Spare blood samples (heparin, full blood) are taken and stored at –80_ Celsius.

All data is stored in the electronic health care records (EHR) and in dedicated databases. Linkage of the UCC-CVRM database with EHRs, with regional and national registries is performed. Written informed consent is obtained.

UCC-CVRM enrollment as described above from 2015 up to 2020.

From 2021 -2023 UCC-CRVM is based on direct extraction of CVRM information from the EHRUp to Dec 31, 2023 this has been excuted, enrolling around 15.000 patients. Risk factor information is based on that what was extractable from the EHRs.

As part of the learning health care system, feedback was given to the health care professionals on a monthly basis. This was done through a dashboard with information on completeness of extractable risk factor information (overall and per health care professional), levels of risk factors, percentage of control of risk factors and prescribed medication in the patients seen in that month. 

Gebruiksdoel

The Utrecht Cardiovascular Cohort initiative aims to create an infrastructure for uniform registration of cardiovascular information in routine clinical practice for patients referred for cardiovascular care at the University Medical Center Utrecht, the Netherlands. This infrastructure will promote optimal care according to guidelines, continuous quality control in a learning healthcare system and creation of a research database.

Voorwaarden beschikbaarheid

Investigators from the participating departments of Center for Circulatory Health have free access to the UCC-CVRM database. Researchers can request existing data and samples for analysis of new markers. Tailor made datasets will be distributed to the investigator upon approval of request by the UCC – CVRM Steering Committee. Approval mainly involves checking feasibility, potential overlap with previous requests, material availability, and need for involvement of specific disciplines. After data distribution, automated checks on progress will be made at regular intervals. For investigators outside these departments or from outside the UMC Utrecht, a similar procedure is available. When new variables are measured in stored samples these must be added the UCC database. A copy of the distributed dataset remains at the UMC Utrecht for long term storage. Details on available data, the application form and procedure can be found on our website. For researchers outside participating departments we charge a data access fee per dataset to cover our costs for inclusion, maintenance, quality control and management.
