Using relative survival measures for cross-sectional and longitudinal benchmarks of countries, states, and districts: the BenchRelSurv- and BenchRelSurvPlot-macros
Abstract:BackgroundThe objective of screening programs is to discover life threatening diseases in as many patients as early as possible and to increase the chance of survival. To be able to compare aspects of health care quality, methods are needed for benchmarking that allow comparisons on various health care levels (regional, national, and international).ObjectivesApplications and extensions of algorithms can be used to link the information on disease phases with relative survival rates and to consolidate them in co… Show more
Effectiveness gap between one exemplary German breast cancer network and international benchmark defined by SEER has been closed. Reasons are manifold, and further research is recommended.
