Abstract:
We discuss the reasons for collecting data on operations for congenital heart defects. Computerized databases facilitate the collection, storage, and retrieval of such data. We outline the basic criteria for selecting a suitable database to cater to the particular needs of a surgeon or a department and stress the importance of the accuracy of the data held in a database. We explain the relative advantage of simple versus complex database systems. We conclude with a summary of the steps required for a practicing congenital heart surgeon to set up and operate a simple database. Copyright 2000 by W.B. Saunders Company
