Method
How each department is audited
The audit reads what each department recorded in the Lung Resection Process: how complete the data are, how long the follow-up is and how soon the procedures are registered.
01
The assessment of missing values is based on the date of surgery, not on the date of registration.
02
Departments are grouped in quintiles by their number of procedures in the period: Q1 holds the departments with the highest volume.
03
The audit of recruitment timing is limited to the use of the REDCap platform, from 2025 onwards. Second or consecutive procedures on the same patient are not considered.
Missing values
How complete is the data
Missing values per procedure in each department, by quintile of activity.
- Meets the criterion of its quintile
- Does not meet it
Perioperative subprocess · 19 variables
Variables of the Preop, Surgery, Postop, Readmission and 90-day Status forms.
Oncology subprocess: diagnosis · 9 variables
Only procedures with a diagnosis of primary lung cancer, or with a missing diagnosis, are considered.
Surgical activity
The pace of surgical activity
Timing of the surgical activity of each department. Whenever recruitment rates are not audited, wide gaps between points can act as a surrogate, suggesting poor rates.
