Performance for Lobectomy Compared to STS and National Outcomes*
* These NIS data are the most recent data available at this time. There are more lobectomy for lung cancer patients in a single year of NIS data than in the GTSD, so a decision was made to use 3 years of STS GTSD data.

*Lobectomy for Lung Cancer Overall Composite Score represents two domain scores in a single number:
-
Absence of Operative Mortality: Percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience operative mortality. Operative mortality is defined as death during the same hospitalization as surgery or after discharge but within 30 days of the procedure.
-
Absence of Major Morbidity: Percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience any major complication. These are: 1) pneumonia; 2) acute respiratory distress syndrome; 3) bronchopleural fistula; 4) pulmonary embolus; 5) initial ventilator support > 48 hours; 6) reintubation; 7) tracheostomy; 8) myocardial infarction; 9) unexpected return to the operating room.
** Esophagectomy Overall Composite Score represents two domain scores in a single number:
-
Absence of Operative Mortality: Percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience operative mortality. Operative mortality is defined as death during the same hospitalization as surgery or after discharge but within 30 days of the procedure.
-
Absence of Major Morbidity: Percentage of patients [risk-adjusted] who did not experience any major complication. These are: 1) pneumonia; 2) recurrent laryngeal nerve paresis; 3) anastomotic leak requiring medical treatment only; 4) initial ventilator support > 48 hours; 5) respiratory failure; 6) unexpected return to the operating room; 7) new renal failure per RIFLE criteria.
