Outputs are sent on a quarterly basis to all trusts performing AAA and Carotid surgery outlining their data contribution rates to the National Vascular Database (NVD). This information is sent to the vascular lead and clinical governance lead in each trust. To find out who this is in your unit Download Vascular leads UK wide.
We would like to thank all those who have taken the time to enter AKI data into the NVD for AAA patients. The data is now under analysis and final outputs will be available late summer. We believe that collection and entry of AKI data provides added value to patient care and so continual submission of this data is encouraged.

The AAA Quality Improvement Programme team have published the first national report on elective AAA mortality rates, on behalf of the Vascular Society today. The report contains information about volume of work against mortality figures following AAA surgery for all units in the UK. This report which demonstrates a dramatic reduction in mortality for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Surgery over a relatively short period of time demonstrates how collecting, analysing and reflecting on clinical outcomes can result in significant improvements.

The Vascular Society is currently working to achieve seperate speciality status. As work progresses in this area it has become clear that the NVD in its current form is not meeting all the needs of the Society and its members. In order to ensure that the NVD functions in accordance with our needs and is fit for purpose a review of the dataset is being conducted and suggestions are welcomed from NVD users. Your comments could help to improve the NVD providing members both with outcome and other data to support patient safety and revalidation. Using either of the documents...

The graph below displays the number of AAA procedures reported by Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) for the period 1st July-30th September 2010 (based on date of discharge). The colour of the NVD bar relates to the percentage AAA contribution as compared to HES where ≤75% is red, 76-90% is amber and ≥91-110% is green. Units with >110% of cases have been coded amber as it is likely that there are coding issues which need to be reviewed. This data is displayed for all Trusts in East Midlands England, based on their geographical position.
