Brief summary
There has been recent interest in understanding the costs associated with post-operative complications of adult non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing lung resection. Accurately defining the costs of complications allows institutions to make more informed decisions as to what these costs are, and then implement strategies to reduce the incidence of complications, thereby mitigating hospital costs. The aim of this study is to provide a detailed costs analysis for patients who undergo any type of lung resection. Who is it for? You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult with NSCLC who underwent any type of lung resection. Study details This study will be conducted using a review of medical records, and no patient contact is required. The study will review the medical records of adult patients who underwent a radical cystectomy at the Austin Hospital between 1 January 2011 and 31st December 2023. It is hoped that this research will help to provide a better understanding of the costs associated with any type of lung resection surgery.
Interventions
In this study we will be observing complications after any type of lung resection and the associated hospital costs for adult patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing this surgery between 1 January 2011 and 31st December 2023.
There are two patient cohorts that will be compared:- those patients undergoing lung resection who develop a postoperative complication, and those patients undergoing lung resection without complications.
As this is a retrospective study, there is no
In this study we will be observing complications after any type of lung resection and the associated hospital costs for adult patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) undergoing this surgery between 1 January 2011 and 31st December 2023. There are two patient cohorts that will be compared:- those patients undergoing lung resection who develop a postoperative complication, and those patients undergoing lung resection without complications. As this is a retrospective study, there is no participant involvement. Only the de-identified hospital medical record of NSCLC adult patients who have undergone lung resection will be reviewed.
