What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. length of hospital stay

    defined as the number of nights spent in the hospital from the end of the surgical procedure until discharge or death

    Measured: 90 days

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. 1 year OS

    1 year OS

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Operative time

    Total duration of the surgical procedure(minutes)

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of operation

  3. Estimated blood loss

    Intraoperative estimated blood loss volume(ml).

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of operation

  4. Intraoperative transfusion volume

    Volume of blood products transfused during the operation(ml)

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of operation

  5. perioperative complication rate

    proportion of patients experiencing postoperative complications)

    Measured: 90 days

  6. mortality rate and unplanned readmission rate

    percentage of patients who die or require unplanned readmission within 90 days post-operation

    Measured: 90 days

  7. Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score

    Functional status assessment. Scores range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better functional status.

    Unit of Measure: score (0-100)

    Measured: Preoperatively, at discharge(at hospital discharge, assessed up to 30 days postoperatively), and at 6 months postoperatively

  8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score

    Functional status assessment. Scores range from 0 to 5, with lower scores indicating better functional status.

    Unit of Measure: score (0-5)

    Measured: Preoperatively, at discharge(at hospital discharge, assessed up to 30 days postoperatively), and at 6 months postoperatively

  9. Surgical costs

    Direct costs of the surgical procedure itself, including operating room fees, anesthesia fees, surgical supplies, and intraoperative medications.

    Unit of Measure: CNY

    Measured: perioperatively

  10. Total hospitalization expenses

    Total inpatient costs from admission to discharge, including surgical costs, medications, bed charges, laboratory tests, imaging, nursing care, and other hospital services.

    Unit of Measure: CNY

    Measured: perioperatively
