Excerpt from The New England Journal of Medicine:November 3, 2010On September 7, 2010, Consumers Union (publisher of Consumer Reports) reported the results of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedures at 221 U.S. cardiac surgery programs. The voluntary reporting of risk adjusted outcomes in approximately 20% of U.S. Cardiac Surgery programs is a watershed event in health care accountability. The reporting ratings derive from a registry developed by the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) in 1989. More than 90% of the approximately 1100 U.S. cardiac surgery programs participate in the registry. Registry data are collected from patients' charts and include key outcomes such as complications and death, severity of postoperative illness, co-existing conditions, surgical technique, and medications. These data are maintained by the Duke Clinical Research Institute and are analyzed with the use of well-tested statistical methods. For the full article, please visit www.nejm.org (End of excerpt)
