| Popis: | Background/Aims Surgical quality is typically measured using 30-day morbidity and mortality statistics – measures that are not very meaningful for procedures such as lumpectomies and mastectomies that have extremely high survival rates. The University of Vermont previously developed a single-site Breast Cancer Surgical Outcomes (BRCASO) database to capture meaningful quality measures such as breast conservation rates, positive margins rates, and number of procedures to complete breast cancer surgery. We extended the BRCASO database to three Cancer Research Network (CRN) institutions to study variation in breast cancer surgical quality across providers, facilities, and health plans. |
