传闻证据表明，在临床护理过程中，许多牙科诊所记录了一些数据，这些数据也收集在牙科诊所研究网络（PBRN）研究中。由于使用现有的电子存储数据进行研究有多种好处，我们调查了牙科PBRN研究中使用的研究数据字段与一般牙科记录中通常发现的临床数据字段之间的重叠。我们将牙科信息模型（DIM）中的734个独特数据元素映射到癌症数据标准注册和存储库（caDSR）中由NIDCR的PBRN管理的2，487个通用数据元素（CDE）。33%的DIM数据元素与至少一个CDE完全匹配，9%部分匹配，分别相当于PBRN研究中使用的所有数据元素的9%和2%。在DIM中发现的最常用CDE包括有关牙齿解剖结构、药物以及口腔活检和龋齿等项目的数据。我们的研究表明，一般牙科记录中的数据元素的非平凡数量可以完全或部分映射到研究中的数据字段。进一步的研究应调查电子临床数据用于研究目的的可行性。
Anecdotal evidence suggests that, during the clinical care process, many dental practices record some data that are also collected in dental practice based research network (PBRN) studies. Since the use of existing, electronically stored data for research has multiple benefits, we investigated the overlap between research data fields used in dental PBRN studies and clinical data fields typically found in general dental records. We mapped 734 unique data elements from the Dental Information Model (DIM) to 2,487 Common Data Elements (CDE) curated by the NIDCR's PBRNs in the Cancer Data Standards Registry and Repository (caDSR). Thirty-three percent of the DIM data elements matched at least one CDE completely and 9% partially, translating to about 9% and 2%, respectively, of all data elements used in PBRN studies. The most frequently used CDEs found in the DIM included data about dental anatomy, medications, and items such as oral biopsy and caries. Our study shows that a non-trivial number of data elements in general dental records can be mapped either completely or partially to data fields in research studies. Further studies should investigate the feasibility of electronic clinical data for research purposes.
