[Reliability of DRG Routine Data to Analyse Treatment Outcome and Complications of Thyroid Surgery. A Critical Analysis of Data of Patient Records Compared to Administrative Data].

CONCLUSION: Quality assurance of clinical routine data of the thyroid surgery shows deficiencies in sensitivity accompanied by high specificity. It is necessary to increase the validity of administrative routine data to carry out a reliable clinic quality analysis or to prepare volume-outcome relationships in clinical health service research. The parameter of hypocalcaemia shows the most limitations due to quality assurance of clinical routine data. PMID: 32040965 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
