Dendrite Clinical Systems and the Society for Cardiothoracic surgery (SCTS) published the third iteration of National Thoracic Surgery - Activity & Outcomes 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. By 2014-2015, 40% of lobectomies and more than 50% of sublobar resections were performed by VATS.

Dendrite Clinical Systems and Professor Khalid Ali Al-Rubeaan, Director of the Research and Scientific Center at the Sultan Bin Abdulaziz Humanitarian City hospital, Saudi Arabia, have established the Saudi National Bariatric Surgery Registry (SNBR) in the country. The purpose of the Registry is to collect information on bariatric procedures in the country so researchers can use the data to improve outcomes.

Dendrite Clinical Systems’ innovative “Intellect Web” software has been utilised by several national and international organisations to establish web-based registries to collect data from patients with COVID-19.
