Op cancelled & statistics

[Carion]

My AVR scheduled for 2nd May has been cancelled because my CRP level is high. I've asked what the level is, and how it compares to a normal level and acceptable/inoperable level, but the surgeon's secretary didn't know, neither did the pre-op team at the hospital, and I don't know when/if I'll be seeing my surgeon before a new date is given. How can I find this out?

Also, I have a very analytical mind and would be interested to find out how many heart operations there have been in the UK in the last complete year (i.e. 2021-2022), split into into various sub-sections, presented in written and pie-chart format:

- successful/not successful;

- valve replacements/other issues;

- cancelled/not cancelled, split into valve replacement/other issues:

- whether cancelled because of patient medical issues/strikes and/or industrial action/lack of resources (nurses, beds, etc);

- into regions;

- into individual hospitals.

That is going to take a lot of research and multiple graphs, and I'm hoping someone has already done it.

Some of what you are looking for may be here

From what I've looked at so far, some is, but it is split into Heart and circulatory diseases (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), and stroke (CBVD). It doesn't separate out the AVR or most of the other sections I listed.

It does it by surgeon and hospital/region too

It says they no longer publish individual surgeon's outcomes. That's quite recent as I found out my surgeon's stats at the end of 2022

[Carion in reply to Cat04]

I couldn't find my surgeon's statistics. All I could see where his details, where trained, worked, etc. I'm more interested in the statistics involving valve replacement, split into the subsections.

I had OHS for mitral valve on 20 Januar in St Thomas’s in London . It wasn’t cancelled and all went ahead ok.
