For 956 patients(94%) the number of lymph no<strong>de</strong>s examined was availab<strong>le</strong> in the database. The meannumber of lymph no<strong>de</strong>s examined for these patients was 12 (range 0 <strong>–</strong> 50). In 449patients (47%), the number of lymph no<strong>de</strong>s examined was 12 or higher. Tab<strong>le</strong> 53provi<strong>de</strong>s an overview of the number of lymph no<strong>de</strong>s examined according to theneoadjuvant treatment (n = 584).Figure 14 provi<strong>de</strong>s an overview of the per-centre-analysis using the prospectivedatabase (% of patients with at <strong>le</strong>ast 12 lymph no<strong>de</strong>s examined). In three centres allpatients have at <strong>le</strong>ast 12 lymph no<strong>de</strong>s examined, whi<strong>le</strong> in four centres the score is 0%.Twenty-seven centres have a score above the weighted (47%; 95%CI 44 <strong>–</strong> 50%) andunweighted mean (47%; 95%CI 40 <strong>–</strong> 53%). For the correct interpretation of theseresults, risk-adjustment (neoadjuvant treatment, (y)pN) is necessary.No administrative co<strong>de</strong> exists for the number of lymph no<strong>de</strong>s examined, which are alsodata that can only be retrieved from the medical fi<strong>le</strong> and the anatomopathologicalreport. The QI is therefore not measurab<strong>le</strong> for the administrative cohort.Tab<strong>le</strong> 53.
