Abstract:
|
Multihospital collaborations for surgical quality improvement are often hindered by complex data collection needs. Identification of valid and reliable proxy measures that simplify data collection may improve the feasibility of such efforts. This study uses data from the 52 hospital Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative to examine use of the Lehman family of Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves coupled with multivariable Cox regression to evaluate hospital length of stay as a proxy measure for postoperative complications. Analyses can be performed using SAS PROC PHREG for covariate adjustment, model selection, and evaluation of model fit for hospital clustered data. Cox regression provides regression-based covariate adjustments for the functional form of the Lehman ROC curves and estimation of the Area Under the Curve (AUC). This approach supports evaluation of the effect of complications severity on discriminatory accuracy, the effect of covariates on discriminatory accuracy, and the incremental value of candidate proxy measures.
