Objectives This study aims to elucidate determinants for succesful implementation of the Enhanced Recovery After Thoracic Surgery (ERATS) protocol perioperative care surgical lung cancer patients in Netherlands. Setting Lung operations are performed both academic and regional hospitals, either by cardiothoracic or general thoracic surgeons. Limiting impact these optimising standardising with ERATS is thought enable reduction length stay, complications costs. Participants A broad spectrum...
Length of stay (LOS) in the hospital after lung cancer surgery is influenced by patient characteristics, tumour surgical technique and perioperative care. Our objective was to determine whether there were variation LOS between hospitals that could not be accounted for these known parameters. Residual would suggest important differences care protocols discharge criteria.This study analysed data from Netherlands National Cancer Registry (NNCR) on 10 195 anatomical resections primary 2010 2015....
The COVID-19 pandemic caused disruption of regular healthcare leading to reduced hospital attendances, repurposing surgical facilities, and cancellation cancer screening programmes. This study aimed determine the impact on care in Netherlands.A nationwide was conducted collaboration with Dutch Institute for Clinical Auditing. Eight audits were expanded items regarding alterations scheduling treatment plans. Data procedures performed 2020 compared those from a historical cohort (2018-2019)....
Local treatment for pulmonary metastases is considered to be a reasonable option in patients with oligometastatic disease. Percutaneous radio frequency ablation (RFA) has been reported as an alternative surgery. Results of RFA local control were evaluated.All consecutive treated (2004-2009) included. was performed percutaneously under computed tomographic guidance. Follow-up scheduled at 1, 3, and 6 months after every thereafter. Major outcome parameters any-site progression, complications,...
Abstract OBJECTIVES Good perioperative care is aimed at rapid recovery, without complications or readmissions. Length of stay (LOS) influenced not only by routines but also patient factors, tumour treatment characteristics and complications. The present study examines variation in LOS between hospitals after minimally invasive lung resections for both complicated uncomplicated patients to assess whether a hospital characteristic local other factors. METHODS Dutch Lung Cancer Audit (surgery)...
Abstract Objective To perform a qualitative evaluation of the Thyroid Network, with quantitative analysis second opinion referrals for patients in southwestern part Netherlands who have thyroid nodules and cancer. Methods This prospective observational study registered all cancer were referred to academic hospital from 2 years before 4 after foundation Network. We implemented biweekly regional multidisciplinary tumor boards using video conference patient care pathway For evaluation,...
The preoperative period can be used to enhance a patient's functional capacity with multimodal prehabilitation and consequently improve fasten postoperative recovery. Especially, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) surgical patients may benefit from this intervention, since the affected resected organ is an essential part of cardiorespiratory fitness. Drafting programme challenging, many disciplines are involved, time between diagnosis NSCLC surgery limited. We designed prior aimed conduct...
