However, there is no available tool for extracting and exporting a large number of digital data at once. The aim of this study was to create a computer program to automate the reading of all clinical data registered on EW and to export them for files in Excel spreadsheets. Study design. The creation and use of the computer program was allowed by SOBEP; it was developed using the Web Scraping Technique (WST), which consists on automated navigation of pages from a website, with the possibility to collect the content displayed on each page.
