IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS EUROMACS DATASETS HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO OVER 40 PUBLISHED RESEARCH STUDIES

In October 2022, Dr Edgar Daeter was appointed Chair of the QUIP committee to drive the programme forward. The role includes updating the QUIP strategy and bringing together database experts from across Europe.

We reinstated the Adult Cardiac Database (ACD) Task Force to support the delivery of a new and improved database. The Adult Cardiac Database is an important platform and benchmarking tool and we are working hard to find a new host and software solution that will provide participating centres with a seamless transition to an advanced application. New members of the Task Force include representatives from leading European National Society databases, bringing their collective experiences and expertise of running well-established registries for the purpose of quality improvement in cardiac surgery.

“The volume of MCS procedures carried out across Europe is the largest in the world. As a result, EUROMACS is an extremely significant registry. What makes EUROMACS data so unique is not just the number of cases but also the variety of devices adopted.

“Policlinico Sant’Orsola-Malpighi has been part of the EUROMACS registry for several years and it is both a privilege and opportunity to be involved. It’s important for our reputation and also for our visibility within the cardiothoracic community.”
