Quality of care assessment for non-small cell lung cancer patients: transforming routine care data into a continuous improvement system. Clin Transl Oncol 2024:10.1007/s12094-024-03658-3. [PMID: 39147937 DOI: 10.1007/s12094-024-03658-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/21/2024] [Accepted: 07/31/2024] [Indexed: 08/17/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The complexity of cancer care requires planning and analysis to achieve the highest level of quality. We aim to measure the quality of care provided to patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using the data contained in the hospital's information systems, in order to establish a system of continuous quality improvement. METHODS/PATIENTS Retrospective observational cohort study conducted in a university hospital in Spain, consecutively including all patients with NSCLC treated between 2016 and 2020. A total of 34 quality indicators were selected based on a literature review and clinical practice guideline recommendations, covering care processes, timeliness, and outcomes. Applying data science methods, an analysis algorithm, based on clinical guideline recommendations, was set up to integrate activity and administrative data extracted from the Electronic Patient Record along with clinical data from a lung cancer registry. RESULTS Through data generated in routine practice, it has been feasible to reconstruct the therapeutic trajectory and automatically calculate quality indicators using an algorithm based on clinical practice guidelines. Process indicators revealed high adherence to guideline recommendations, and outcome indicators showed favorable survival rates compared to previous data. CONCLUSIONS Our study proposes a methodology to take advantage of the data contained in hospital information sources, allowing feedback and repeated measurement over time, developing a tool to understand quality metrics in accordance with evidence-based recommendations, ultimately seeking a system of continuous improvement of the quality of health care.

Abstract
The process of implementing early detection of lung cancer with low-dose CT (LDCT) in Germany has gained significant momentum in recent years. It is expected that the ordinance of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation, Nuclear Safety and Consumer Protection (BMUV) on early detection of lung cancer, which has been commented on by the professional societies, will come into effect by the end of 2023. Based on this regulation, the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) will set up a program for early lung cancer detection with LDCT in the near future. In this position paper, the specialist societies involved in lung cancer screening present concrete cornerstones for a uniform, structured and quality-assured early detection program for lung cancer in Germany to make a constructive contribution to this process.

Initial Cancer Treatment in Certified Versus Non-Certified Hospitals. DEUTSCHES ARZTEBLATT INTERNATIONAL 2023; 120:647-654. [PMID: 37583089 PMCID: PMC10622058 DOI: 10.3238/arztebl.m2023.0169] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2023] [Revised: 07/03/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 08/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND According to the National Cancer Plan in Germany, all cancer patients should receive high-quality care in accordance with evidence-based treatment guidelines. Certification programs were established for this purpose but have not yet been comprehensively evaluated. METHODS In the WiZen project, which was supported by the Innovation Fund (supported project number 01VSF17020), controlled cohort studies were performed to investigate whether initial treatment in hospitals with or without a certificate from the German Cancer Society was associated with a difference in overall survival (primary endpoint) in patients with cancer of the colon, rectum, lung, pancreas, breast, cervix, prostate, endometrium, and ovary, head and neck cancer, and neuro-oncological tumors. The studies were based on nationwide data from adult insurees of the AOK statutory health insurance carrier for the years 2009-2017. RESULTS The majority of patients with all entities except breast cancer received their initial treatment in non-certified hospitals. Initial treatment in a certified hospital was found to be beneficial in terms of overall survival for all cancer entities, even after extensive adjustment for patient- and hospital-related confounders. The hazard ratio (HR) ranged from 0.97 (95% CI: [0.94; 1.00]) for lung cancer to 0.77 [0.74; 0.81] for breast cancer, corresponding to an absolute risk reduction (ARR) for overall survival of 0.62 months for lung cancer to 4.61 months for cervical cancer. CONCLUSION The WiZen study shows for the entities studied that initial cancer treatment in a certified center is associated with lower mortality. Despite the recommendations of the National Cancer Plan, however, more than 40% of all cancer patients still receive their initial treatment in a non-certified hospital. The preferential provision of initial care in certified hospitals would be likely to improve overall survival. Although the study design does not permit any conclusion with regard to causality, the findings seem robust considering that a control group was used, confounders were taken into account, and the study population was of large size.

Abstract
Thoracic malignancies are associated with a substantial public health burden. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with significant impact on patients' quality of life. Following 2 years of virtual European Respiratory Society (ERS) Congresses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2022 hybrid ERS Congress in Barcelona, Spain allowed peers from all over the world to meet again and present their work. Thoracic oncology experts presented best practices and latest developments in lung cancer screening, lung cancer diagnosis and management. Early lung cancer diagnosis, subsequent pros and cons of aggressive management, identification and management of systemic treatments' side-effects, and the application of artificial intelligence and biomarkers across all aspects of the thoracic oncology pathway were among the areas that triggered specific interest and will be summarised here.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a common, steady growing lung tumour that is often discovered when a surgical approach is forbidden. For locally advanced inoperable NSCLC, the clinical approach consists of a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, eventually followed by adjuvant immunotherapy, a treatment that is useful but may cause several mild and severe adverse effect. Chest radiotherapy, specifically, may affect the heart and coronary artery, impairing heart function and causing pathologic changes in myocardial tissues. The aim of this study is to evaluate the damage coming from these therapies with the aid of cardiac imaging. METHODS This is a single-centre, prospective clinical trial. Patients with NSCLC who are enrolled will undergo computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before chemotherapy 3 months, 6 months, and 9-12 months after the treatment. We expect to enrol 30 patients in 2 years. CONCLUSIONS Our clinical trial will be an opportunity not only to highlight the timing and the radiation dose needed for pathological cardiac tissue changes to happen but will also provide useful data to set new follow-up schedules and strategies, keeping in mind that, more often than not, patients affected by NSCLC may present other heart- and lung-related pathological conditions.
