Congenital Section of Japan Cardiovascular Surgery Database (JCVSD) began registration in 2008. Since then, the number of participating institutions have increased to 120, almost covering all the institutions in the whole country, and the number of newly registered registrations is about 10,000 per year. Based on the accumulated data, we created a reliable risk model for congenital heart surgery in Japan and started to offer web-based performance index of each institution based on risk calculation and predicted mortality rate. In 2011, the Japanese Board of Cardiovascular Surgery started to use the JCVSD data for board certification, which improved the quality of the first paperless and web-based board certification review. We are in the process of creating better risk models and further contribute to the quality of congenital cardiovascular surgery in Japan.
