5.6.3 Definition of procedure<br />

5.6.3.1 Primary hospital stays in Minimal Clinical Data<br />

Only 10 701 of the 29 762 selected hospital stays had a principal diagnosis of malignant<br />

ne<strong>op</strong>lasm of bronchus and lung. As shown in Table 5.62, 1 313 stays (12.3% of 10 701<br />

stays) corresponding to 1 296 pati<strong>en</strong>ts (17.6% of 7 360 pati<strong>en</strong>ts) had a procedure for<br />

lung cancer surgery as <strong>de</strong>scribed above.<br />

The APR-DRGs of these 1 313 stays are <strong>de</strong>scribed in Table 5.63.<br />

To create a study p<strong>op</strong>ulation of pati<strong>en</strong>ts which is as homog<strong>en</strong>ous as possible, we<br />

retained only the 1 206 stays (corresponding to 1 192 pati<strong>en</strong>ts) that are inclu<strong>de</strong>d in the<br />

APR-DRG 120 “Major respiratory procedures” and were retained in our analysis.<br />

Results of <strong>de</strong>finition: 1 206 stays with surgery for resectable lung cancer<br />

were selected in the Minimal Clinical Data. These stays concerned 1 192<br />

individual pati<strong>en</strong>ts and 97 c<strong>en</strong>tres.<br />

5.6.3.2 Linkage with data from IMA and BCR<br />

The MCD data were linked with the Common Sickness Funds Ag<strong>en</strong>cy (IMA) database<br />

and the Belgian Cancer Registry (BCR) database. Table 5.64 shows that 98.2% of 1 206<br />

MCD stays could be linked with IMA data and 87.4% with BCR data on the basis of<br />

ICD-10 co<strong>de</strong> C34 “Malignant ne<strong>op</strong>lasm of bronchus and lung”. Information on tumour<br />

stage could be retrieved for 74.8% of 1 206 MCD stays.<br />

Results of linkage: 1 054 pati<strong>en</strong>ts with lung cancer surgery could be linked<br />

with Belgian Cancer Registry data. For 902 of these pati<strong>en</strong>ts, the BCR<br />

contained information on the stage of the tumour.
