<tr><td> New Jersey’s cardiac surgery hospitals are required to report data on each patient undergoing open heart surgery.  The department’s Open Heart Surgery Registry contains this patient-level data from 1994 to the present.  <br>  <br> Hospitals report demographic data on patients -- such as age, sex and zip code -- as well as information on insurance coverage, name of hospital and surgeon.  They also provide information on medical history and risk factors known to affect a patient’s chance of surviving the operation.<br>  <br> The department uses this data to create risk-adjusted mortality rates for each hospital and surgeon performing one common type of open heart surgery -- coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).  All data are risk-adjusted to give “extra credit” to hospitals and surgeons treating sicker patients.<br>  <br> Each year, the findings are published in the cardiac surgery report, available on the web.
