The use of automated data extraction tools to develop a solid organ transplant registry: Proof of concept study of bloodstream infections.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We created an electronic health record-based registry using automated data extraction tools to study the epidemiology of bloodstream infections (BSI) in solid organ transplant recipients. The overarching goal was to determine the usefulness of an electronic health record-based registry using data extraction tools for clinical research in solid organ transplantation.

Methods

We performed a retrospective single-center cohort study of adult solid organ transplant recipients from 2010 to 2015. Extraction tools were used to retrieve data from the electronic health record, which was integrated with national data sources. Electronic health records of subjects with positive blood cultures were manually adjudicated using consensus definitions. One-year cumulative incidence
