We evaluated the data completeness and correctness, summarized practice, and patient characteristics and summarized the two treatments by tooth type and arch location.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Eighty-two percent of practitioners were male, with a mean age of 49 and 22.4 years of clinical experience. The final dataset comprised 217,887 patients and 11,289,594 observations, with the observation period ranging from 0 to 37 years. Most patients (73%) were 18 to 64 years old; 56% were female. The data were nearly 100% complete. Eight percent of observations had incorrect data, such as incorrect tooth number or surface, primary teeth, supernumerary teeth, and tooth ranges, indicating multitooth procedures instead of PCR or RCT. Seventy-three percent of patients had dental insurance information; 27% lacked any insurance information. While gender was documented for all patients, race\/ethnicity was missing in the dataset.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003This study established the feasibility of using EDR data integrated from multiple distinct solo and small-group network practices for longitudinal studies to assess treatment outcomes. The results laid the groundwork for a learning health system that enables practitioners to learn about their patients' outcomes by using data from their own practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1709506","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,29]],"date-time":"2020-04-29T23:25:48Z","timestamp":1588202748000},"page":"305-314","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Leveraging Electronic Dental Record Data for Clinical Research in the National Dental PBRN Practices"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Thankam Paul","family":"Thyvalikakath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Informatics Core, Department of Cariology, Operative Dentistry & Dental Public Health, Indiana University School of Dentistry, IUPUI, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States"},{"name":"Center for Biomedical Informatics, Regenstrief Institute, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana, United States"}]},{"given":"William D.","family":"Duncan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental Genomics and Systems Biology, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, California, United States"}]},{"given":"Zasim","family":"Siddiqui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dental Informatics Core, Department of Cariology, Operative Dentistry & Dental Public Health, Indiana University School of Dentistry, IUPUI, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States"}]},{"given":"Michelle","family":"LaPradd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Eckert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States"}]},{"given":"Titus","family":"Schleyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Biomedical Informatics, Regenstrief Institute, Inc., Indianapolis, Indiana, United States"},{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana, United States"}]},{"given":"Donald Brad","family":"Rindal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HealthPartners Institute, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Jurkovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HealthPartners Institute, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States"}]},{"given":"Tracy","family":"Shea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"HealthPartners Institute, Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States"}]},{"given":"Gregg H.","family":"Gilbert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Community Sciences, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama, United States"}]},{"name":"National Dental PBRN Collaborative Group","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,29]]},"container-title":["Applied Clinical Informatics"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/s-0040-1709506.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,5]],"date-time":"2020-05-05T13:19:00Z","timestamp":1588684740000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/s-0040-1709506"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,3]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"02","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,18]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,3]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/s-0040-1709506","relation":{},"ISSN":["1869-0327"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1869-0327","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,3]]}}}
