CroDiab
– the National Diabetes Registry was founded to enable promotion of diabetes care,
assessment of the prevalence and incidence of diabetes and its acute and chronic
complications, and follow-up of morbidity, mortality, and basic clinical indicators on a
national level. A national registry is of major importance in the planning of preventive
actions and reduction in health care costs, as well as in the improvement of health care.
All primary and secondary
care physicians who provide diabetes care are obliged to supply data on their patients to
The Vuk Vrhovac University Clinic for Diabetes, Endocrinology and Metabolic Diseases on an
annual basis, by January 15 at the latest for the previous year (Annual Plan of the
Statistical Activities of the Republic of Croatia; Official Gazette 28/05, 58/05, 04/06,
117/06, 65/08,
and Basic Health Insurance Plan and Programme of Health Protection Measures; Official
Gazette 126/06).
Data set to be supplied constitutes a BIS (basic informatic sheet), recognised by
the international diabetology community as optimal data collection form for the follow-up
and improvement of diabetes care.
