It is of great significance to carry out high-quality follow-ups for the clinical treatment and in-depth study of vertigo patients. This study introduces the design and experience of the REDCap system to establish a special disease cohort of vertigo patients and long-term follow-up. An online survey form was designed to collect basic data of patients, and vertigo, dizziness, and disability assessment scale, balance confidence Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were integrated as the main outcome collection tools, and clinical examination results were imported by linking to hospital information system. Five event collection nodes were used before treatment, 1 month after treatment, 3 months after treatment, 6 months after treatment and 12 months after treatment to set and create the aforementioned data collection form, sort out and formulate the research quality control process, set and manage the authority of different researchers, and finally establish a specific disease cohort project for vertigo patients and collect follow-up data. As of 22 June 2022, data on 378 vertigo patients have been collected and further follow-up is planned. The practice found that the follow-up project of the specific disease queue established based on REDCap could realize the simultaneous input of multiple sites and multiple terminals, the realization of medical data entry, quality control and authority management, the construction of follow-up work calendar, and finally the establishment of high-quality and efficient research database. With a simple design process, easy operation, and complete information collection, it provides a free, convenient, efficient, and standardized project management and data collection tool for otolaryngologists to carry out vertigo-related clinical studies.
