Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Primary outcome: To determine the length of hospital stay (LOS) in patients undergoing UVATS.Timepoint: Everyday from postoperative day 1 to discharge date—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To investigate the reasons for prolonged hospitalization (over the median length of stay) in patients undergoing Uniportal Video Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgeries for lung resection. 2. Analyse the relationship between delayed discharge & perioperative factors. 3. To determine the association between the length of hospital stay & various validated clinical scoring systems including the Charlson Comorbidity Index, ARISCAT score, Thoracoscore, Revised Cardiac Risk Index (RCRI), & the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status classification. Timepoint: Everyday from postoperative day 1 to discharge date—
