NVR eNewsletter – 2022 Issue #1

NVR Data Submission Deadlines

Below are the current key dates regarding data submission and analysis for 2022. This involves all NVR procedures carried out up and including 31/12/2021.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we know that the volume of vascular procedures carried out in 2020 and 2021 will be lower than in previous years. We also expect there to be a larger number of postoperative deaths.
Similarly to last year, we are going to raise this issue in relation to consultant level outcome reporting with HQIP.

Milestone	Date
Initial data entry deadline for elective infra-renal AAA repairs and carotid endarterectomies	25 March 2022
Final data submission deadline for all other NVR procedures (complex AAA, emergency AAA, lower limb angioplasty, lower limb bypass and lower limb amputation)	6 May 2022
Initial results for elective infra-renal AAA repairs and carotid endarterectomies sent to consultants for validation	W/C 9 May 2022
Final data submission deadline for elective infra-renal AAA repairs and carotid endarterectomies	10 June 2022

In 2020 we added a procedure note for angioplasties that can be generated once key data items had been completed on the NVR.
Once you have entered data in all pages up to and including the Post-op page, you will see a new button at the bottom of the page, entitled ‘Print’ (you will have needed to save the post-op page for the post-op information to be included in the report).
You will then be able to choose a short, medium or long version of the report.
It will then be possible to copy the document and/or text from the NVR into a radiology information system and/or electronic patient notes.
