The goal of this research is to provide health sciences researchers with novel, principled statistical
methods for addressing several complex challenges arising in cardiovascular disease with time-
to-an-event endpoints in large observational databases and clinical trials. The grant is
collaboration between NCSU and Duke and was awarded under the NIH multiple PI mechanism.

The goal of this project is to manage a national data warehouse for the STS adult cardiac surgery
database, the STS congenital cardiac surgery database, and the STS General Thoracic Surgery
database. The data warehouse harvests and analyzes data from more than 1000 US and
Canadian hospitals. Duke develops models for risk adjustment and risk prediction, performs
research analyses, and develops statistical methodology for feedback reporting to participating
surgeons and institutions.
