Between-hospital variations in 3-year survival among patients with newly diagnosed gastric, colorectal, and lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Due to increases in cancer survivability, quality assessments of cancer care must include long-term outcomes. This multicenter retrospective cohort study evaluated between-hospital variations in the 3-year survival rates of patients with gastric, colorectal, and lung cancer irrespective of treatment modality. We linked cancer registry data and administrative data from patients aged 18-99 years who were diagnosed with gastric, colorectal, or lung cancer between 2013 and 2015 in Osaka Prefecture, Japan. The 3-year survival rates were adjusted for potential prognostic factors using multilevel logistic regression models. Between-hospital variations were visually evaluated using funnel plots. We analyzed 10,296 gastric cancer patients from 30 hospitals, 9276 colorectal cancer patients from 30 h
