Pdf Summary

This abstract presents a study conducted at Puerta de Hierro University Hospital to assess the quality of care for stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The researchers aimed to evaluate the quality of care through various process indicators and outcome indicators. They analyzed data from 160 patients with stage IIIA NSCLC treated at the hospital between 2016 and 2020. <br /><br />The results showed that 90% of patients received treatment with curative intent, and 81.3% received multimodal treatment, with higher rates for stage IIIA patients. The median time between diagnosis and first treatment was 26 days. Other process indicators, such as the proportion of therapeutic strategies used and time between treatment modalities, were also assessed. <br /><br />The study also looked at outcome indicators, including time to treatment failure and overall survival. The median time to treatment failure was 19.1 months for stage IIIA patients, while median overall survival was not reached in stage IIIA, but was 27 and 36.5 months in stages IIIB and IIIC, respectively. The survival rates at different time points were also reported. <br /><br />These findings suggest a high adherence to clinical guidelines and demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining process indicators from electronic health records. The study highlights the importance of quality improvement policies in evaluating care processes for patients with stage III NSCLC.
