Defining Quality Performance Indicators for Oesophageal Cancer Surgery

This systematic review explored existing quality performance indicators (QPIs) for the surgical management of oesophageal cancer (OC). Researchers collected data from articles, guidelines, and consensus reports. QPIs were categorized as process, outcome, or structural measures, covering aspects like multidisciplinary involvement, reoperation rates, and the role of surgical metrics. The findings provide a foundation for a quality initiative project focused on improving OC resection by objectively assessing and enhancing patient care.
