Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Patterns and Outcomes of Neurosurgery in England Over a Five-year Period: a National Retrospective Cohort Study
Neurosurgical practice has seen many important changes over several decades with advances in treatments and the types of patients treated. Neurosurgical procedures have evolved, and as outcomes have improved the number of patients being treated has increased. There are no recent evaluations of national neurosurgical practice in the United Kingdom (UK), with the last prospective cohort studies being Safe Neurosurgery 1993 and Safe Neurosurgery 2000. More recent studies of neurosurgical services have been based on data from single institutions or surgeons and these may not give a representative picture of practice nationally. Recent national quality improvement programmes for neurosurgery in England (such as the National Neurosurgical Audit Programme (NNAP) and Cranial Neurosurgery and Spinal Surgery Getting It Right First Time (GIRFT) Programmes) have focused on using national hospital administrative datasets. To be effective, quality improvement initiatives require robust outcome measures and quality (process) indicators. Currently, there is a lack of validated quality indicators for neurosurgery, with practice often being described using generic measures such as readmission and reoperation rates and length of stay. Many studies have been able to derive these common outcome measures, but it may also be possible to produce indicators specific to neurosurgery. The aim of this observational study was firstly to describe the current pattern of neurosurgical admissions and procedures in England, and thereby given an overview of the epidemiology of neurosurgical patients. Secondly, it aims to investigate the range of outcome measures that might be produced from hospital administrative data and use these to assess the quality of care in neurosurgery.
