Brief summary

The aim of this study is to reduce the length of stay after liver surgery by taking account of objective quantitative clinical variables, subjective qualitative clinical variables and non clinical variables.

Detailed description

a new dimension of the activity expected of physicians is to improve the safety of care on the one hand and the control of health care costs on the other. key measures to help them are the publication of national recommendations, assessment of actual practices and the incentive to activity. Internationalwide recent and concordant data suggest that * quality and security of care, after an initial improvement, are going to stall * scientific recommendations are rarely validated by an impact analysis and are not applied * clinical data collected within an administrative framework are unreliable and too generalist * the evaluation, especially in the surgical field, is based on indicators sometimes irrelevant and often unclear

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
overall postoperative length of stayduring the 3 months after the surgerythe overall postoperative length of stay is defined as the hospitalization between the surgery and patient's discharge. This period includes the readmission for at least 24 hours in case of outcomes related to the surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
peroperative outcomesduring the surgical procedurethe peroperative outcomes are collected during the surgery and correspond to any event occured during the surgical intervention
postoperative outcomesafter the surgery until postoperative month 3the postoperative outcomes correspond to any event occured after the surgical intervention. These outcomes include fistulae; bleeding...
construct of pronostic modelsafter the postoperative month 3the construct of pronostic models include variables that affect the length of stay; morbidity and mortality
evaluation of PMSI indicatorsafter the postoperative month 3this evaluation includes the analysis of PMSI indicators; their validity and the influence of centres on hepatectomies results
