目的：多点数据采集复杂，需要有效的数据管理系统。本文探讨了一个涉及74个社区站点和一个中央数据管理系统的研究项目在设计、实施和分析过程中遇到的数据管理问题。结果：数据到达中心站点后，数据完整性保持在很高的水平。我们在下腰痛研究中遇到的问题反映了研究的实践性以及资金、人员和设施的限制。结论：将研究方案转化为数据收集和数据管理的实际程序的任务可能非常具有挑战性。及早认识到数据管理和质量控制程序所需的努力和资源的重要性怎么估计都不为过。
Objective: Multi-site data collection is complex and requires an effective data management system. This article explores data management issues encountered in the design, conduct, and analysis of a research project involving 74 community-based sites and a central data management system.Results: Once the data arrived at the centra site, data integrity was maintained at a very high level. Issues encountered in our study on low back pain reflected the practice-based nature of the study and the limitations of finances, staff, and facilities.Conclusion: The task of converting a research protocol to actual procedures for data collection and data management can be very challenging. The importance of early recognition of the effort and resources needed for data management and quality-control procedures cannot be overestimated.
