Overview

National registry survey reports procedural patterns for cardiovascular, thoracic, and esophageal surgeries in Japan, highlighting evolving data collection methods across surgical centers.

Key Points

  • This nationwide annual survey aims to assess and quantify cardiovascular, general thoracic, and esophageal surgical practices performed across medical institutions in Japan during 2018.
  • Extracted cardiovascular and thoracic surgery procedural records from the National Clinical Database (NCD) and the Japanese Cardiovascular Surgery Database (JCVSD).
  • Administered a supplemental survey questionnaire through the Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery to capture esophageal cases, including nonsurgical patients receiving chemotherapy or radiation alone.
  • Automated electronic data integration via the JCVSD package replaced manual questionnaire entries for cardiovascular surgery data collection.
  • Survey response rates and institutional category subclassifications were specifically restricted in the cardiovascular branch due to the transition to registry-based extraction.
