Event-free survival as a predictor of overall survival and recurrence burden of patients with non –small cell lung cancer receiving neoadjuvant therapy
This study aims to examine the correlation between real-world event-free survival and overall survival and to assess the clinical and economic burden associated with disease recurrence among patients with resected stage II to III non –small cell lung cancer who received neoadjuvant therapy in the United States.

American Association for Thoracic Surgery Quality Gateway (AQG): Interim report
The essence of running a high-quality cardiothoracic program, a measure of excellence, is an immediately available, current, reliable, and matrix of data outcomes that all participants trust. Today, most such interested participants (quality officers, department chairs, or individual surgeons) rely on data such as mortality or wound infection that is updated weekly or monthly and trended on a graph over time. However, the data may not be that current and is not matched to an external data set or risk adjusted. (Source: The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)
