South West Public Health Observatory South West Regional Public Health Group Aim of this work Overview of impact of an urological cancer diagnosis –Procedures –Bed-days

South West Public Health Observatory South West Regional Public Health Group Method Combine registry, BAUS and HES data for England Define cohort, diagnosed with Prostate, Bladder, or Kidney Cancer (C61, C67, C64) Examine 3 years HES data either side of time of diagnosis All patientsHES PatientsStaged nn%n% Prostate Bladder Kidney

South West Public Health Observatory South West Regional Public Health Group Analytical considerations 2007/08 HES clinical coding data 16.5% inaccurate 1 –“60% of episodes had no errors” Error = f (HES coding, inpatients only, matching, staging) Duplicates ≈ 10-20% of episodes Episodes vs bed-days vs spells How to normalise? 1: PbR Data Assurance Framework 2007/08, Audit Comission

South West Public Health Observatory South West Regional Public Health Group Quantifying workload by stage Bed-days per staged patient (3 years) Procedures per staged patient (3 years): Bladder cancer IIIIIIIV Cystectomy Endoscopic diagnosis Extirpation of lesion of bladder All urinary procedures All unspecified procedures

South West Public Health Observatory South West Regional Public Health Group Conclusions With some caveats we can quantify workload using linked HES data This demonstrates real difference between cancer types (bladder > kidney > prostate) Within this the number of procedures and bed-days show complex dependence on stage Further work needed to isolate effect of care prior to death, and ‘background’ morbidity
