Fig 1 (A) Variation in risk-adjusted and reliability-adjusted rates of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy by hospital quintile of VATS rates. (B) The percentage of hospitals with available VATS technology within each quintile as indicated by having performed a VATS wedge in the same study period. The adjustment models accounted for age, sex, race, Charlson-Deyo Comorbidity Index score, patient insurance status, tumor histology and clinical T and N stage, regional median income quartile, education, and clustering within hospitals.

Fig 2 Regional variation in risk-adjusted and reliability-adjusted rates of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy. The National Cancer Data Base divides the United States into 9 contiguous geographic regions. Adjusted VATS lobectomy rates were highest in the Middle Atlantic region (NJ, NY, PA) and lowest in the West South Central region (AR, LA, OK, TX).

Fig 3 Adjusted overall survival by hospital video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy adoption quintile. Hospitals in the highest VATS quintile had slightly better hospital-level survival estimates than those in the lowest quintile (p = 0.033), although the differences are clinically minute.
