| Annotation | The purpose of the National Confidential Enquiry into Perioperative Deaths (NCEPOD - formerly known as CEPOD) is to identify remediable factors in anaesthesia and surgery, such as the provision of better facilities or different skills, and to make recommendations based on the findings. NCEPOD collects basic data on all deaths occurring in hospital within 30 days of a surgical procedure. This data is submitted to the Enquiry by a designated Local Reporter within each hospital. The data collection year runs from 1 April to 31 March, and each year a sample of the total number of deaths is selected for detailed review. Future reports (2000 and 2001) will review a random 10% sample of the total number of deaths reported. This will enable comparisons to be made with data studied in 1990, when a random 1 in 5 sample was reviewed, as well as forming a basis for continued longitudinal comparisons. (RH). |
