Missing Data

Warning
  • The assessment of missing values is based on the date of surgery, not on the date of registration.

Perioperative Subprocess

  • 19 variables across the Perioperative Subprocess (Preop, Surgery, Postop, Readmission and 90-day Status) are evaluated.


Oncology Subprocess: Diagnosis

  • Only procedures with a diagnosis of primary lung cancer or missing diagnosis are considered.

  • 9 variables from the Diagnosis form are evaluated.


Oncology Subprocess: Follow-up

  • In this Overall-Audit Report are evaluated:

    • Procedures (by quintiles) with diagnosis of lung cancer performed between 01-01-2023 and 31-12-2024.
    • Missing values across 3 variables in the Follow-up form.
    • Median of follow-up (months)


Recruitment Timing

Warning
  • Audit of Recruitment Timing is limited to the use of the REDCap Platform.
  • All the calculus to evaluate quality of recruitment timing do not consider second or consecutive procedures on the same patient.


Recruitment Delay

  • Recruitment delay refers to the number of days elapsed between the date of surgery and the date the procedure was recorded in the REDCap platform as of 01-01-2025.


Surgical Activity

  • This plot illustrates the timing of surgical activity by department throughout ReSECT history. Whenever recruitment rates are not audited, multiple wide gaps between points could serve as a surrogate, suggesting poor rates.
