Dendrite Clinical Systems and the Society for Cardiothoracic Surgery in the UK are pleased to announce the SCTS Conference News 2022 newspaper is now available to view/download. The newspaper reports a multitude of presentations from the meeting including the latest and the best information on new technologies and techniques in cardio-thoracic surgery.
Researchers led by the Clinical Research Unit at the Special Unit for Biomedical Research and Education (SUBRE), Aristotle University of Thessaloniki School of Medicine, Greece, have initiated a randomised control trial (RCT) that will compare minimally invasive extracorporeal circulation (MiECC) with conventional cardiopulmonary bypass (cCPB).
Dendrite Clinical Systems, working in close cooperation with the SCTS and several cardiac centres, has developed a series of ‘Dashboards’ that allow users to access to their unit’s surgical outcomes and compare them to national results in real-time. By uploading their data to the central Dendrite National Cardiac Surgical Registry, individual units or centres can instantly benchmark their results via an on-line database for internal consumption to assist units with their own clinical governance and for auditing purposes.
Dendrite Clinical Systems is delighted to announce the first ever report from New Zealand’s Te Rēhita Mate Ūtaetae - Breast Cancer Foundation National Register. The ground-breaking report, titled, “30,000 voices: Informing a better future for breast cancer in New Zealand,” covers 30,000 patients diagnosed from 2003 to 2019.

Dendrite receives order to expand Regional Lung Cancer Registry to the whole of Wales
Dendrite Clinical Systems has received an order from NHS Wales to expand the successful Regional Lung Cancer Registry in North Wales to cover the whole of the country, established the Welsh National Lung Cancer Pleural Nodules Registry. The registry is designed for health professionals to collect, view and use real-time data about their patients with pleural disease.
This secure, web-based registry enables valuable real-world data to be gathered from everyday clinical settings about patient outcomes in malignant and non-malignant disease. Utilising Dendrite’s “Intellect Web” software, the registry allows respiratory clinicians across Wales to enter patient data online, using a range of modern html-5 compatible web browsers, without the need to install additional software or perform any complex system configurations.
In addition, the registry will assess the impact of pleural interventions including thoracoscopy and the use of indwelling pleural catheters, as well as recording and analysing individual operator performance.
“We are delighted that NHS has expanded this very important registry throughout the whole of Wales,” said Dr Peter Walton, Managing Director of Dendrite Clinical Systems. “We hope the expansion of the registry will prove be an invaluable tool for all clinical teams involved in the care of this group of patients, and overtime, help to improve the outcomes for patients with this malignant and non-malignant disease.”
