Dendrite Clinical Systems and the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in the UK are pleased to announce the SCTS Conference News 2022 newspaper is now available to view/download. The newspaper reports a multitude of presentations from the meeting including the latest and the best information on new technologies and techniques in cardio-thoracic surgery.
Researchers led by the Clinical Research Unit at the Special Unit for Biomedical Research and Education (SUBRE), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki School of Medicine, Greece, have initiated a randomised control trial (RCT) that will compare minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) with conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (cCPB).
Dendrite Clinical Systems, working in close cooperation with the SCTS and several cardiac centres, has developed a series of ‘Dashboards’ that allow users to access to their unit’s surgical outcomes and compare them to national results in real-time. By uploading their data to the central Dendrite National Cardiac Surgical Registry, individual units or centres can instantly benchmark their results via an on-line database for internal consumption to assist units with their own clinical governance and for auditing purposes.
Dendrite Clinical Systems is delighted to announce the first ever report from New Zealand’s Te Rēhita Mate Ūtaetae - Breast Cancer Foundation National Register. The ground-breaking report, titled, “30,000 voices: Informing a better future for breast cancer in New Zealand,” covers 30,000 patients diagnosed from 2003 to 2019.

Published by Dendrite Clinical Systems, in conjunction with the British Obesity and Metabolic Surgery Society (BOMSS), the third iteration of the National Bariatric Surgery Registry Report builds on the previous two and includes data on an additional 38,388 patients taking the overall total to 70,461 patients. The report demonstrates the safety and effectiveness of bariatric and metabolic surgery in the UK. The report uses data from the National Bariatric Surgery Registry (NBSR), a decade long research collaboration between BOMSS and Dendrite Clinical Systems. Key highlights of the publication include:
- Bariatric Surgery procedures produced excess weight loss at one year of 73.7% after One Anastomosis Gastric Bypasses and 71.3% after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, which compares favourably against 61.5% with sleeve gastrectomy and 38.8% with gastric banding.
- The effectiveness of surgery also reveals that the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus was reduced from 30% to 14% in the first year after surgery.
- In-hospital mortality from bariatric and metabolic surgery was very low at 0.04%, which compares very favourably with internationally accepted figures.
