Abstract
The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Workforce on Research Development and the STS Research Center currently offer 3 outcomes research platforms using the STS General Thoracic Surgery Database: (1) the traditional Access and Publications Program supports STS-sponsored projects with data analysis conducted at an STS-approved data analytic center, (2) the STS Task Force for Funded Research supports STS investigators pursuing extramural research funding for projects incorporating STS National Database data linked to other data sets such as Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and (3) the Participant User File (PUF) program that provides deidentified patient-level data files from the STS General Thoracic Surgery Database to investigators with approved projects to be analyzed at their institution. This report includes an updated review of each program in addition to an outline of 2019-based articles published or accepted.
