- Title
Accurately determining patients who underwent robot-assisted surgery: limitations of administrative databases.
- Authors
Leow, Jeffrey J.; Chang, Steven L.; Trinh, Quoc‐Dien
- Abstract
The article discusses the efficacy of robot-assisted surgical radical prostatectomy (RARP) based on a review of the Premier Hospital Database, a nationally representative all-payer hospital discharge database developed for quality and utilization benchmarking. The researchers used the International Classification of Disease, ninth edition (ICD-9) code to quantify the number of patients who underwent RARP and those who opted for open radical prostatectomy (ORP).
