PERFORM

Few robust clinical registries exist to collect data regarding the practice of Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB). In addition, most of these do not have sufficient validation to reflect, confidently and accurately, the volume or practice of CPB. The PERForm registry has been created to fill this void... PERForm has been designed to augment ongoing collection of data reflecting cardiac surgical practices. PERForm and surgical data are linked using our published algorithm. These linked data offer the participant or participants with a more comprehensive and informed version of operative practices and their impact on clinical outcomes... PERForm provides participants with quarterly benchmark reports reflecting CPB practices. Centers are now able to compare discrete perfusion practices to other institutions, and identify the relationship between these practices and clinical outcomes. Additionally, centers may use these data to support quality assurance and improvement.
