Dendrite Clinical Systems and the Society for Cardiothoracic surgery (SCTS) have published a new report that demonstrates importance collecting and analysing data from thoracic surgery. The report states that a large increase in thoracoscopic (VATS) resections is responsible for most of the recent increase in lung cancer surgery, rising from 749 cases in 2010-2011 to 2,753 in 2014-2015, an increase of more than 3.5 times.
Dendrite Clinical Systems is to install its Intellect System to track outcomes of cardiothoracic surgery at St George’s Hospital, Tooting, London, UK. The company’s data capture software currently supports approximately 85% of cardiac units in the UK. 
Dendrite Clinical Systems and Waldenström’s Macroglobulinaemia United Kingdom Charity have published the First UK Waldenström’s Macroglobulinaemia Registry Report 2018 – the first report of its kind in the world.

New Zealand Cardiac Surgery National Report 2016
This report of the New Zealand National Cardiac Surgery Registry (NZCS) covers the period of 1 January 2016 to 31 December 2016.
The report includes all cardiac surgical procedures undertaken at the 5 District Health Boards (DHBs) performing publicly-funded cardiac surgery in New Zealand (Auckland, Waikato, Capital and Coast, Canterbury, Southern).
This is our second annual report of the National Cardiac surgical services in New Zealand. The report has been an accomplishment for all involved to be proud of. It is encouraging to note that data completeness has improved for 2016 across all units. This is a credit to the time and diligence of all members of the cardiac surgical units at the 5 DHBs. With the implementation of mobile devices in 2017 we expect the processes to become further streamlined. I take this opportunity to thank all the effort of the different teams involved in making this possible at both a National and Local level. The data in itself is a testimony to the quality of cardiac surgical service being provided around the country.
