Multi-institutional Thoracic Surgery Registry

ThORN operates a sophisticated multi-institutional clinical registry that is the result of collaborations across 20+ thoracic surgery centers around the world.

Why Multi-Institutional?

Single-center studies often lack the power to identify rare complications or long-term trends. By pooling data across 20+ sites, ThORN creates opportunities for practice-changing discoveries.

  • Link short-term outcomes with long-term survival
  • Validate findings against deep EHR documentation

Rapid Response Capability

ThORN's infrastructure allows for the rapid deployment of consensus guidelines and multi-site data collection during healthcare crises.

Case Study: COVID-19 Triage

ThORN members developed and published national triage standards for thoracic surgery within weeks of the pandemic, providing clarity for healthcare providers at a time of crisis.
