GallRiks 10 år. Kvalitetsregister för gallstenskirurgi har förbättrat vården
Sammanfattning
The Swedish Registry for cholecystectomy and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) (GallRiks) is a validated
register with high coverage. The registry started on May 1, 2005 and serves as a base for audit on gallstone disease treatment and
also provides a database for clinical research. The aim of this study is to present an overview of the clinical consequences and
implementations in patient care that GallRiks research may have contributed to during a 10-year period. Results from studies on
GallRiks data have reduced the use of antibiotic and thromboembolic prophylaxis as well as showed the importance of intraoperative
cholangiography. Furthermore, the studies on GallRiks data have most probably changed the treatment strategies in ERCP. Studies
on GallRiks data have changed and improved the management of patients in Sweden who undergo gallstone surgery or ERCP.
