The decision to suspend children's heart surgery in Leeds was based on "invalidated and incomplete data", but was made "in the interests of patient safety", a report has found.
Operations at the hospital's unit were halted in 2013 when NHS England raised concerns about data on mortality rates.
However, surgery resumed on 13 days later after an investigation revealed the data was flawed.
The report said it had caused "a storm of controversy and concern".
High Court fightIt said: "Inaccurate data are worse than useless and can be positively damaging.
"At Leeds incomplete information was instrumental in causing the suspension of surgery and great consternation both at the hospital and in the community it serves.
"Leeds senior management at the time should have ensured that data was full, accurate and submitted on time."
The suspension of surgery came a day after a decision to stop children's heart surgery at the hospital - as part of an England-wide reorganisation of services - was quashed in the High Court.
The report said the timing of the events had led to the belief there was a connection between the two.
However, it said: "We examined closely the sequence of events that led to the suspension [and] concluded that the suspension was made in the interests of patient safety rather than for any other reason."
