Quality control is difficult to achieve in Congenital Heart Surgery (CHS) because of the diversity procedures. It particularly needed, considering potential adverse outcomes associated with complex cases. The aim this project was develop a new method based on complexity procedures.The Aristotle project, involving panel expert surgeons, started 1999 and included 50 pediatric surgeons from 23 countries, representing EACTS, STS, ECHSA CHSS. procedures as defined by STS/EACTS International...
Early and midterm results of the arterial switch operation (ASO) in transposition great arteries (TGA) are good, but late outcome data large populations still few.Twelve hundred patients had an ASO for TGA between 1982 1999, with prospective follow-up 1095 survivors. Outcome measures included death, reoperation, aortic insufficiency (AI), pulmonary stenosis (PS), coronary anomaly. Median was 4.9 years (range 0.5 to 17 years). Late death occurred 32 patients; survival 88% at both 10 15 years....
Outcomes evaluation is enhanced by assignment of operative procedures to appropriate categories based upon relative average risk. Formal risk modelling challenging when a large number operation types exist, including relatively rare procedures. Complexity stratification provides an alternative methodology. We report the initial application in Congenital Heart Surgery Databases Society Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and European Association for Cardio-thoracic (EACTS) empirically derived system...
This article presents 21 “Quality Measures for Congenital and Pediatric Cardiac Surgery” that were developed approved by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) endorsed Heart Surgeons’ (CHSS). These Quality are organized according to Donabedian’s Triad Structure, Process, Outcome. It is hoped these quality measures can aid in congenital pediatric cardiac surgical assessment improvement initiatives.
Abstract Background Administrative databases are often used for congenital cardiac disease research and evaluation, with little validation of the accuracy diagnostic codes. Methods Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program surveillance records were reviewed classified using a version International Pediatric Cardiac Code. Using this clinical nomenclature as referent, we report sensitivity false positive fraction (1 – predictive value) Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical...
