Description
Summary:Japan's National Clinical Database (NCD) is a large‐scale nationwide web‐based data entry system for surgical procedures that was established in 2010 with major support from the Japan Surgical Society (JSS), the Japanese Society of Gastroenterological Surgery (JSGS), and eight other professional surgical societies. Data sets are evaluated annually by the JSGS using a web‐based management system to assure data traceability and the results are published annually (in Japanese); this management system also validates data consistency through random inspections of participating hospitals. Clinical studies using the NCD's data have published findings on such topics as: feedback implementation for quality improvement of cancer treatment; association between the participation of board‐certified surgeons and operative mortality; and the impact of hospital volume on risk‐adjusted mortality.
