There is currently significant variation between hospitals in the way children with a range of surgical conditions are treated. Examples of variation include the age or weight at which a planned operation is carried out,the type of operation a child gets,and how quickly they are allowed to start feeding after an operation. It is not currently known which elements of variation in management affect how successfully a child is treated. The aim of the Children’s Surgery Outcome Reporting (CSOR) Research Database is to combine three sources of information about children with surgical conditions in order to understand more about how different hospitals treat children with surgical conditions,and how successfully children in these hospitals are treated. This information will be used to help understand which elements of variation in management affect how successfully children are treated. The information will also be used to help hospitals understand how they can treat children with surgical conditions more successfully,and to answer important questions that could improve the health and wellbeing of children with surgical conditions. Some of the information that is used in the CSOR research database will be collected directly from children’s electronic patient records,some will be collected from routine national sources of data,and some will be collected directly from children’s parents. To begin with,the CSOR research database will collect information about children with necrotising enterocolitis,Hirschsprung’s disease,gastroschisis,congenital diaphragmatic hernia,oesophageal atresia and posterior urethral valves. However,it is expected that in the future,the database will also collect information about children with other surgical conditions.
