Hospital lung surgery volume and patient outcomes

Lung Cancer Feb 27, 2019

Thai AA, et al. - Researchers investigated if hospital non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) surgery volume is associated with patient outcomes. Using the Victorian Cancer Registry, they identified patients with a primary diagnosis of NSCLC between 2008 and 2014 (n = 15,369); of these, 3,420 (22%) had lung cancer surgery. As per findings, lung cancer patients attending low- and high-volume hospitals for cancer surgery display no differences in survival. Lower volume centers had a higher proportion of patients who had an ICU admission ≥24hours. In private hospitals, there were a higher proportion of patients with an ASA score of 4 vs public hospitals.
