Data

This page displays charts and information produced by analysing Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) records on the National Vascular Database (NVD). We will initially focus on key topics such as NVD contribution rates as compared to HES, NVD record status, Mortality figures and Contribution rates to the Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) Audit, however these may adapt with demands. This facility has been created following the NVD Questionnaire 2009 which highlighted the enthusiasm for feedback by Surgeons.
