Context: NSQIP
• Outcomes-based • Data-driven • Risk-adjusted Goal: Empower surgeons and medical centers to reliably report their outcomes, improve care and lower costs. LeBonheur Children’s Hospital became a beta test site for NSQIP-Pediatrics in 2010.

Compare surgical deaths reported to NSQIP with all surgical deaths at Le Bonheur Children's Hospital • How does this inform our QA projects? • How do we figure out important buckets
for our children’s hospital?
Objective

Study Design
Prospective observational study Main outcome measure: death occurring during the hospital stay in which an operation was performed • NSQIP-Peds 30 day follow up 94.8% • Non NSQIP-Peds sample pulled from administrative extraction from Cerner • No post discharge follow up performed on non NSQIP-Peds patients • Measure is in hospital mortality for both groups
![Page 12: General Sessions: Introduction to the ACS NSQIP Online Reports](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021008/6203a329da24ad121e4bb7c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Results: Operative Volume
• 30,383 operative cases in 24,683 patients between 1/1/2010 and 12/31/2012 – 123 deaths identified (0.4%;0.5%)
• 3697 operative cases (12%) in 3,498 patients(15%) included in the NSQIP sample – 20 deaths identified (0.5%;0.6%) – 2 of these deaths occurred after discharge

Conclusions:
Mortality is uncommon within 30 days of surgery in children Mortality rates were similar between the NSQIP-Peds sample and all in hospital deaths NSQIP-Peds by design misses some types of deaths, and oversamples other causes
