Variation in Hospital-Specific Rates of Suboptimal Lymphadenectomy and Survival in Colon Cancer: Evidence from the National Cancer Data Base
Background Little is known about between-hospital differences in the rate of suboptimal lymphadenectomy. This study characterizes variation in hospital-specific rates of suboptimal lymphadenectomy and its effect on overall survival in a national hospital-based registry. Methods Stage I–III colon can...

Zusammenfassung: | Background
Little is known about between-hospital differences in the rate of suboptimal lymphadenectomy. This study characterizes variation in hospital-specific rates of suboptimal lymphadenectomy and its effect on overall survival in a national hospital-based registry.
Methods
Stage I–III colon cancer patients were identified from the 2003–2012 National Cancer Data Base. Bayesian multilevel logistic regression models were used to assess the impact of patient- and hospital-level factors on hospital-specific rates of suboptimal lymphadenectomy ( |
