This report uses data from the California Cardiovascular Outcomes Reporting Program (CCORP) for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) to provide comparisons of readmissions due to isolated CABG complications from 2018 to 2021. These years are the most recently available data that is used by CCORP in its mandated annual performance reporting.

This dataset provides performance ratings for California Surgeons for Risk-Adjusted Operative Mortality Rates for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) Surgery from 2011 to 2018. It also includes the number of isolated CABG surgery cases and deaths that each surgeon performed as well as the location of hospitals where the surgeon performed CABG surgery.

CABG surgery, a major interventional procedure to treat coronary artery diseases, is the most common type of open-heart surgery and the costliest procedure in California. It is known that there are large disparities in the use of CABG procedures and outcomes by assigned sex at birth and by race/ethnicity. Understanding changes in CABG utilization and outcome by assigned sex at birth and race/ethnicity over time is important in the evaluation of hospital resources, regional health policy, quality improvement, and the promotion of health equity.

This dataset contains the location of California hospitals that are certified to perform elective percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) without on-site cardiac surgery. The data provides performance ratings for three outcome measures: mortality, post-PCI stroke, and post-PCI emergency coronary artery bypass graft surgery. It includes the number of cases, adverse events and risk-adjusted rates for certified hospitals compared to the overall observed statewide rates.

This dataset contains the number (volume) of 6 selected inpatient procedures (Esophageal Resection, Pancreatic Resection, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repairs (AAA Repairs), Carotid Endarterectomy, Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention) performed in California hospitals. Data are reported for January – September 2015 due to coding changes from ICD-9-CM to ICD-10-CM/PCS for procedures, which began 10/1/2015. Comparisons across years should be made with caution since other years’ results are based on 12 months of data, while 2015 analysis is based on 9 months of data. The data starting 2015 may differ from previous years due to the coding change. This dataset does not include procedures performed in outpatient settings.

The treatment of patients with coronary artery disease continues to evolve; all three strategies – medical therapy, surgical revascularization, and percutaneous coronary intervention – have changed. Medical therapy with intense risk-factor modification and treatment with a statin, aspirin, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, should be used unless contraindicated. Surgical therapy has also changed with the introduction of minimally invasive, beating heart surgery. Percutaneous coronary intervention has perhaps changed the most radically with adjunctive therapy – glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitors, thienopyridines, and reliance on stent implantation. The future, with new distal protection devices and drug-coated stents, should continue to see increased numbers of patients who can benefit from percutaneous intervention.

This dataset contains the statewide composite patient safety and Adverse Events indicator (PSI) rate used to determine the “Incidence of measurable hospital-acquired conditions” rate for the Let’s Get Healthy California Initiative. PSI rates may not be comparable across years as significant changes were made to composition, definition, and calculation of PSI over time. The current composite PSI includes the following component indicators: pressure ulcer, iatrogenic pneumothorax, in-hospital fall-associated fracture, postoperative hemorrhage or hematoma, postoperative acute kidney injury requiring dialysis, postoperative respiratory failure, perioperative pulmonary embolism or deep vein thrombosis, postoperative sepsis, postoperative wound dehiscence, abdominopelvic accidental puncture or laceration.
