CC010 - Paediatric Operations and Interventions

1. This diagram shows the classes and relationships relevant to the clinical audit dataset in paediatric surgery and interventions, developed by the Paediatric Cardiac Surgery Project Team. The data are collected by paediatric centres and submitted to the Central Cardiac Audit Database (CCAD).

2. Both the paediatric cardiac procedure which is being reported and any previous procedures are PATIENT PROCEDURES, classified via PATIENT PROCEDURE CLASSIFICATION by an OPERATIVE PROCEDURE or a READ CLASSIFICATION. The pre-procedure PATIENT DIAGNOSIS is recorded.

3. The CARE PROFESSIONAL responsible for the surgery may be a CONSULTANT or may be a specialist registrar.

4. Among the patient details collected in the dataset is WEIGHT, a subtype of CHARACTERISTIC, which is the patient’s weight at the time of the surgery.
