How is the Trust doing?

| Rolling 3 years (January 2009 – December 2011) | 1.3% |
Lower percentage indicates better performance.
The percentage of patients who had a stroke following first-time, isolated CABG remains low.
The UK national average for all cardiac surgical units for 2009-10 will be included as soon as the validated data becomes available (Data source: Central Cardiac Audit Database).
Why is this indicator important?
Strokes are known to occur following first-time, isolated CABG surgery in around 1-3% of all patients which can increase overall length of stay and affect survival.
How do we measure this indicator?
Percentage of first-time, isolated CABG patients who had a post-operative stroke before discharge.
