Has been monitoring the impact of cancer in the province since 1969. Registry tracks cancer<br />

incidence, diagnosis, mortality, gender <strong>and</strong> age to determine the trend of cancer B.C. as<br />

different patterns are seen in different age groups <strong>and</strong> sometimes for the same cancer in<br />

different sexes. This information identifies the most deadly cancer diseases <strong>and</strong> targets high<br />

risk groups.<br />

The Leukemia/BMT Program of B.C. contributes to this North American registry.<br />

Operated by B.C. Cardiac Registry <strong>and</strong> Evaluation Services at the PHSA to record information<br />

about patients going through the cardiac care system. The BCCR database contains<br />

information such as demographics, nature of cardiac surgeries, as well as diagnostic <strong>and</strong><br />

interventional catheterization procedures. This is one of the most comprehensive medical<br />

databases in Canada; it records over 30,000 diagnostic procedures per year <strong>and</strong> contains more<br />

than 10 years of high-quality cardiac catheterization <strong>and</strong> adult open heart surgery data. The<br />

data is gathered from all hospitals with catheterization labs in B.C. It contains data covering<br />

60 cardiologists, 17 cardiac surgeons <strong>and</strong> 6 sites (www.coe.ubc.ca/industry/projects/2005/<br />

cardiac_registry.pdf).<br />

A localized database of inflammatory markers prior to <strong>and</strong> post uncomplicated percutaneous<br />

coronary intervention (PCI) (a.k.a. angioplasty) followed by a brief infusion of eptifibatide.<br />

A single-centre prospective carotid intervention registry on carotid stenting in symptomatic<br />

coronary disease. Contains information on clinical, procedural, lesion <strong>and</strong> other characteristics.
