The new BACTS-2012 Registry is a copy of the EACTS’s Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (Version 1.0).
The BACTS 2012-Dataset will be a significant improvement compared to the BACTS-CPT registration.
However, we realize that this dataset has limitations and cannot fulfill the data-needs for every cardiac surgeon.
We provide a FileMaker Pro application for the BACTS 2012 Registry. With this application the Excel-file for data-submission can be generated.
The FileMaker Pro application has some extra fields, that are not included in the BACTS 2012 Registry Dataset but that have been added for convenience.
Centres are free to use the FileMaker Pro application. Other software can also be used to generate the Excel-file.
The EuroSCORE II modifications are incorporated in the dataset. However the calculation is not implemented yet in the file-maker application.
The BACTS 2012 registry is designed for adult cardiac surgery. All congenital cardiac surgery should be reported in the EACTS Congenital Database: www.eactscongenitaldb.org
Here you will find the final version of the dataset and data-specifications. You also will find an example of a Data Collection Form (DCF).
Please contact database@bacts.org to receive a free BACTS 2012 Registry FileMaker Application. You can download a trial-version of Filemaker Pro at http://www.filemaker.com/be/ to evaluate this software.
The beta-version was for evaluation only, it will be impossible to export/import the data from the beta-version into the final version .
