Current literature favors a volume-outcome relationship in pulmonary lobectomy that prompted centralization of these operations abroad, in national, single-payer health care settings. This study examined the impact of regionalization on outcomes after lung cancer resection within a US integrated health care system. This study retrospectively reviewed major pulmonary resections (lobectomy, bilobectomy, pneumonectomy) for lung cancer that were performed before (2011 to 2013; n = 782) and after (2015 to 2017; n = 845) thoracic surgery regionalization during 2014. Case migration from 16 regionwide sites to 5 designated centers was complete by 2016. Facility volume increased from 17.4 to 48.3 cases/y (P =.002), and surgeon volume increased from 12.5 to 19.9 cases/y (P =.001). The postregionalization era was characterized by increased video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (86% from 57%; P <.001), as well as decreased intensive care unit use (−1.0 days; P <.001) and hospital length of stay (−3.0 days; P <.001). Postregionalization patients experienced fewer total (26.2% from 38.6%; P <.001) and major (9.6% from 13.6%; P =.01) complications. The association between regionalization and decreased length of stay and morbidity was independent of surgical approach and case volume in mixed multivariate models. After the successful implementation of thoracic surgery regionalization in our US health care network, pulmonary resection volume increased, and practice shifted to majority video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and minimum intensive care unit utilization. Regionalization was independently associated with significant reductions in length of stay and morbidity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
