Overview

Registry survey reports procedural volumes and hospital mortality in thoracic surgery patients, highlighting nationwide clinical trends and surgical quality benchmarks.

Key Points

To evaluate national procedural volumes, clinical trends, and perioperative mortality rates for thoracic and cardiovascular surgeries performed in Japan during 2017.
Conducted an annual nationwide survey capturing data from participating hospital departments performing thoracic, cardiac, and vascular operations across Japan.
Categorized surgical interventions into congenital, adult cardiovascular, thoracic aortic, and general thoracic procedures to evaluate institutional case loads and outcomes.
Documents annual national procedure volumes across major thoracic and cardiovascular surgical subspecialties performed during 2017.
Summarizes 30-day and in-hospital mortality rates across procedural subcategories, reflecting contemporary perioperative safety profiles and clinical benchmarks.
