Profile of the key figure lung or bronchial resection (cancer, tumor), patient number

About the indicator «Specific patient numbers»

Number of patients with a specific diagnosis or intervention (per calendar year).

Strengths:

High patient numbers with a specific diagnosis or intervention is a indicator for good knowledge and expertise. A hospital with high specific patient numbers has a lot of experience with different techniques of diagnosis and treatment (e.g. surgeries). Additionally, high specific patient numbers suggest that employees and technical equipment are up to date.

Limits:

Unfortunately, specific patient numbers are not available for all interventions. It is not sure that results are transferable to similar interventions. Also, the relationship between patient numbers and experience/competency is not linear. Especially with very high specific patient numbers the expertise and knowledge does not increase in equal measure.

The KSA saved my life. -2018 Lung cancer stage 4 with metastases in the adrenal glands. Immunotherapy, chemo. Removal of a lobe of the lung and the adrenal glands. Be cancer free for 5 years. In other clinics they would have given up on me and not operated on me anymore. The nursing staff is also great.
