Resumen: Key Features
The CARhES (CArdiovascular Risk factors for hEalth Services research) study is a population cohort that uses Real-World Data to study the impact of health services and drug utilization on health outcomes in patients with cardiovascular risk factors and to identify potential healthcare inequalities. The ultimate goal is to develop strategies that enhance the medical management of these patients by promoting effective and equitable care.
This is a population dynamic open cohort that includes all people aged ≥16 years old registered as users of the Aragón public health system (Spain) with hypertension, diabetes mellitus and/or dyslipidaemia from 2017 (number of participants: 446 998).
Follow-up will last at least until the end of 2026, with annual waves of data extraction.
Data on socio-demographics, clinical conditions, medications and use of health services are collected from clinical and administrative electronic databases.
Due to its sensitive nature, the CARhES cohort data are not publicly accessible. However, researchers who wish to perform specific analyses, explore new methodologies or conduct cross-national comparisons related to healthcare utilization in patients with cardiovascular risk factors are encouraged to contact the Principal Investigators of the study: Isabel Aguilar-Palacio ([e-mail]) and Sara Malo ([e-mail]).
