KCE Reports 81 PROCARE <strong>–</strong> <strong>phase</strong> 2 31Figure 7. Per-centre-analysis (n = 56) of documented distance from the analverge (prospective cohort) $ .100100909080807070Proportion (%)6050403060504030Number of patients (N)2020101000$ The weighted mean is presented with a red bar, the unweighted mean is presented with a bluehorizontal line. The grey bars represent the QI value per centre, whi<strong>le</strong> the blue dots representthe number of patients per centre. These results are preliminary, and cannot be used to judge thequality of care.Proportion of patients in whom a CT of the liver and RX or CTthorax was performed before any treatmentDEFINITIONNumerator: all patients with RC that un<strong>de</strong>rwent CT liver and RX or CT thorax beforethe first treatment.Denominator: all patients with RC that un<strong>de</strong>rwent treatment.Exclusion:• patients that didn’t receive treatmentRESULTSBecause no specific variab<strong>le</strong> for CT liver, CT thorax or thorax X-ray is availab<strong>le</strong> in thePROCARE database, this QI is not measurab<strong>le</strong> for the PROCARE cohort.In the administrative database, more specific co<strong>de</strong>s are availab<strong>le</strong> (nomenclature co<strong>de</strong>sfor thorax X-ray, ICD-9-CM co<strong>de</strong>s for CT thorax and abdomen; see appendix).However, important limitations also ren<strong>de</strong>r this QI incalculab<strong>le</strong> and not interpretab<strong>le</strong>for the administrative cohort:• ICD-9-CM coding of CT thorax and abdomen is not obligatory for theMCD database. Above this, ambulatory tests are only availab<strong>le</strong> throughthe IMA database (nomenclature co<strong>de</strong>s). Therefore, using ICD-9-CMco<strong>de</strong>s to track CT thorax and liver causes an important un<strong>de</strong>restimation(Tab<strong>le</strong> 19).
