C-SOR

C-SOR is the Children’s Surgery Outcome Reporting programme and is a seven year, £3 million NIHR funded programme of work which provides a unique opportunity to learn more about how we can improve the health and wellbeing of children treated in the UK for a range of complex surgical conditions. It is a collaboration of investigators across ten hospitals and led from the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit at the University of Oxford under the auspices of Prof. Marian Knight (Oxford) and Prof. Simon Kenny Liverpool).  It follows on from the successful and now defunct BAPS-CASS series.

It is well into its stride with presentations in BAPS and EUPSA and publications in the Archives of Disease of Childhood (these are Open Access articles with access details in the main article).

Aims

To investigate whether it is possible to reduce unwarranted variation in the health and wellbeing of children undergoing early surgery at different hospitals in England and Scotland.

The current face of CSOR is Mr Ben Allin.
