KCE Reports 81 PROCARE <strong>–</strong> <strong>phase</strong> 2 43DiscussionTwo QI (continuous 5-FU infusion and gra<strong>de</strong> 4 radio[chemo]therapy-relatedcomplications) are not measurab<strong>le</strong> with the prospective database due to the absence ofco<strong>de</strong>s registering the necessary information (Tab<strong>le</strong> 31). Both QI are also not measurab<strong>le</strong>with the administrative databases. To capture the necessary information for both QI,specific co<strong>de</strong>s need to be ad<strong>de</strong>d to the PROCARE data entry form. Above this, thechemotherapy section of the form needs to be introduced to the participants ofPROCARE and to be modified to allow an unambiguous and more comp<strong>le</strong>te registrationof all necessary chemotherapy-related information.Five QI are not measurab<strong>le</strong> with the administrative databases, because the dose andnumber of fractions of the radiotherapy regimen cannot be retrieved withadministrative co<strong>de</strong>s. One other QI (gra<strong>de</strong> 4 radio[chemo]therapy-relatedcomplications) is not measurab<strong>le</strong>, because no specific administrative co<strong>de</strong>s exists forgra<strong>de</strong> 4 complications.In the prospective database, a high number of missing values was i<strong>de</strong>ntified for theradiotherapy regimen. Above this, no information on the prescribed radiotherapyregimen is availab<strong>le</strong> (only the administered regimen is registered), which is moreindicative of the appropriateness of the treatment. Therefore, a specific variab<strong>le</strong>registering the prescribed radiotherapy regimen should be ad<strong>de</strong>d to the radiotherapysection of the PROCARE data entry form.Most of the se<strong>le</strong>cted QI are <strong>de</strong>fined for cStage II-III patients that un<strong>de</strong>rwent surgery.However, it is c<strong>le</strong>ar that these QI apply to all cStage II-III patients, irrespective of thereceival of surgery (taking into account age, fitness, stage, tumour localisation).Tab<strong>le</strong> 31.

For 335 patients the cStage was unknown. For 10 ofthe 612 patients that un<strong>de</strong>rwent radical resection, no information was availab<strong>le</strong> on thetype of resection (total missings: 345/1071, 32%).The proportion of R0 resections is measurab<strong>le</strong> for 52 centres using the prospectivedatabase. Thirty-one centres have 100% R0 resections, whi<strong>le</strong> 7 centres have a score of80% or <strong>le</strong>ss. Thirty-three and 34 centres have a score above the weighted (93%; 95%CI91 <strong>–</strong> 95%) and unweighted mean (93%; 95%CI 90 <strong>–</strong> 96%) respectively. For the correctinterpretation of these results, risk-adjustment (stage, cCRM) is necessary.
