4 COLORECTAL SCA GROUP CHAIR COMMET SCA Comparative Colorectal Cancer Audit Report 2009 This report provides comprehensive data on the management of Colorectal Cancer in the South East of Scotland during Enormous credit should be given to the SCA audit team, and Peigi Muir in particular, for the quality of the data. This has been facilitated by local data collection teams. During 2009 in SCA 890 patients were diagnosed with colorectal cancer, 750 (84%) of whom underwent surgery, which was performed with curative intent in 88% of cases. The exceptional standard of surgical care across the region should be highlighted. Perioperative mortality for all patients undergoing surgery was less than1% and has fallen steadily over the last 5 years from 5.3% in These are World-class results. Complications caused by Anastomotic Dehiscence (leakage at the site of the surgical join) are very low (1.5% for colonic anastomosis, 5.6% for rectal anastomosis, and 9.4% for patients undergoing anastomosis following Total Mesorectal Excision). They fall well within the required national HSQIS standards of 5%, 10% and 20% respectively. One or two areas of the report are affected by difficulties in collecting appropriate data. This is particularly an issue within Lothian relating to data on DVT and Antibiotic prophylaxis. This is being resolved through coordination with the process for implementing the Scottish Patient Safety Programme. In Lothian and Dumfries & Galloway processes for recording of access to stoma therapists need to be improved. Other Action Points highlighted which we will be looking into further are: A similar number of patients received radiotherapy and chemotherapy across the network. It was noted however that patients from the Borders General Hospital appear to wait longer for the chemotherapy which may relate to the lack of cross cover for this service when the designated consultant is on leave. We will look into ways of addressing these issues. The report has also highlighted a large number of early stage cancers in Dumfries and Galloway and we will be looking into the reasons for this. The appropriate protocol for access to Clinical urse Specialists for patients with polyp cancers. This report focuses on reporting the existing HSQIS standards. We believe there are a number of areas we should focus on in the coming year. These include auditing the availability of laparoscopic colorectal surgery across the network, reviewing our morbidity rates in patients undergoing chemotherapy, and looking at our long-term outcome data. We hope that there will be opportunities to compare the results of the three Scottish cancer networks, as occurred at the national meeting of In order to compare our results more widely, we have also taken the first steps in 2010 in entering our data into the UK ational Bowel Cancer Audit.

5 ACTIO POITS Listed below are some possible areas for improvement identified through the report with proposed action outlined against each: Report Section Standard 2 Multidisciplinary Working Standard 4 Waiting Times Summary of Patients by Key Categories Table 10 Possible area for improvement Ensure that appropriate patients have access to a Clinical urse Specialist There is currently no protocol for care of early stage polyp cancer patients, so that it is unclear in what circumstances access to the CS is required. umbers of early-stage cancers are increasing because of screening Aim to ensure that wait for adjuvant chemotherapy is equitable for Borders i.e. for 95% of patients is not greater than 56 days from surgery Ensure comparability of staging across SCA review reasons for larger proportion of Dukes A patients in Dumfries & Galloway Proposed action Develop a protocol for care of patients with polyp cancer including a review of the appropriate circumstances for them to be referred to a CS may not be necessary in all cases Review service issues about availability of oncology cover Compare numbers of Dukes A cancers detected in other SCA areas paying particular attention to the numbers of lymph nodes harvested. Which clinical standard will this meet? QIS Standard 2a1 QIS Standard 4b1 o specific standard but comparability of staging required as essential component of ensuring equity of treatment SA C07/11 W 09/06/2011 5
6 1 Background to this report 1.1 This report is the eighth to present comparative data on patients newly diagnosed with colorectal cancer in South East Scotland Cancer etwork (SCA) at the following hospitals- Borders General Hospital, Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary, Queen Margaret Hospital, Dunfermline, Victoria Hospital, Kirkcaldy, St John's Hospital at Howden, Livingston, and Western General Hospital, Edinburgh. 1.2 The report covers data on patients newly-diagnosed in the twelve months from 1 January to 31 December Lead Clinicians and staff involved in audit were as follows Borders General Hospital (BGH) Mr M Hosny Lynn Smith/Alistair Meikle Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary (DGRI) Mr S Whitelaw Martin Keith Queen Margaret Hospital (Fife) Mr T Daniel Maureen Lamb Western General Hospital, Edinburgh (WGH) Mr RG Wilson Peigi Muir SCA Mr BJ Mander Peigi Muir 2 Datasets, definitions and measures 2.1 The dataset collected is the nationally-agreed core minimum dataset (as revised in 2009), with definitions published by ISD Scotland ( For further information contact Peigi Muir, SCA Audit Facilitator, Western General Hospital, Edinburgh. (peigi.muir@luht.scot.nhs.uk) 2.2 Data has been analysed against national Bowel Cancer HS Quality Improvement Scotland Clinical Standards (revised March 2008), published by the Clinical Standards Board for Scotland, now HS Quality Improvement Scotland (HS QIS), and the 2001 Cancer Strategy: Our ational Health. 2.3 Measurability criteria have been prepared by the SCA Cancer Audit Facilitator who co-ordinates this across the network to ensure consistency of analysis. 2.4 From this report focused on a subset of measures which previously had shown variable results or were key indicators of surgical quality. However from 2009 onwards a more comprehensive review of certain HS QIS Standards which were agreed by the SCA Colorectal Group has been undertaken. 3 Audit Processes and data recording 3.1 Collection of the nationally-agreed core minimum dataset continues in all hospitals in South East Scotland. Data capture is focused round the process for the weekly multidisciplinary meetings i.e. ensuring that data covering patient referral, investigation, and diagnosis is being picked up through the routine process. SA C07/11 W 09/06/2011 6
7 3.2 Surgical and Oncology data is obtained either from the clinical records (electronic systems and case notes) or by download from the Department of Clinical Oncology database within the Edinburgh Cancer Centre (ECC) 3.3 The process remains dependent on audit staff for capture and entry of data, and for data quality checking 3.4 Data is recorded on local Access databases, apart from in the Fife region where data is collected using E-case. 4. Data Quality 4.1 Clinical Sign-Off: This report compares data from reports prepared for individual hospitals and signed off as accurate following review by the lead clinicians from each service. Additionally, the collated SCA results are reviewed by lead clinicians, including the lead Oncologist, to assess variances and provide comments on results. 4.2 External QA: SCA Audit participates in external quality assurance (QA) of data by ISD Scotland, (i.e. when a sample of data is compared with the data definitions). There has not been an external QA of the whole Colorectal Dataset since Estimated Case Ascertainment: Case ascertainment has been estimated using Scottish Cancer Registration data for 2008 for comparison purposes (with exclusions of patients only certified on death certificates and fully private patients). Tables on case ascertainment and five year averages are contained in the relevant section: Standard 3 Audit (QIS Standard 3a3). Most patients are identified through weekly multidisciplinary meetings. The following sources are used to check for missing patients: 1. Pathology records 2. Death lists 3. Dept of Clinical Oncology retrospective database 4. Clinical urse Specialist database 5. Provisional Cancer Registration lists Peigi Muir SCA Audit Facilitator SA C07/11 W 09/06/2011 7

While these patients are included in Cancer Registry figures they are not included in Dumfries & Galloway data which excludes patients diagnosed outwith Scotland, as per the national dataset. From 2009 onwards private patients and patients whose normal residence is outwith Scotland but who have any part of their treatment within the HS are included in the audit. For the purposes of data continuity and quality, these patients have been noted separately as follows: HS Lothian: 6 private patients who had part of their treatment within the HS HS Fife: 1 patient whose normal residence was outwith Scotland HS DGRI: 2 patients whose normal residence was outwith Scotland 2 Source: Scottish Cancer Registry SA C07/11 W 09/06/

The aim of adjuvant therapy is to destroy any cancer that has spread. An artificial connection, created by surgery, between two tubular organs or parts, especially between two parts of the intestine. For example, a junction created by a surgeon between two pieces of bowel which have been cut to remove the intervening section. Bursting open or splitting of the surgical connection between two sections of intestine The administration of antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection. The measuring and evaluation of care against best practice with a view to improving current practice and care delivery. Borders General Hospital A tube-like structure which runs from the stomach to the anus. It allows digestion of food and the discharge of waste products. The name given to a group of diseases that can occur in any organ of the body, and in blood, and which involve abnormal uncontrolled growth of cells. Cancer services are based in cancer centres. Such centres provide the entire spectrum of cancer care - both on-site and to associated cancer units. Ensures that patients receive the highest quality of care possible, putting each patient at the centre of his or her care. This is achieved by making certain that those providing services work in an environment that supports them and places the safety and quality of care at the top of the organisation's agenda. A clinical nurse specialist is a registered nursing professional who has acquired additional knowledge, skills and experience, together with a professionally and/or academically accredited post-registration qualification (if available) in a clinical speciality. They practice at an advanced level and may have sole responsibility for a care episode or defined client/group. The Clinical Standards Board for Scotland was a statutory body, established as a Special Health Board in April Its role was to develop and run a system of quality control for clinical services designed to promote public confidence that the services provided by the HS met nationally agreed standards, and to demonstrate that, within the resources available, the HS was delivering the highest possible standards of care. On January 2003, CSBS was merged, along with four other clinical effectiveness bodies, to form HS Quality Improvement Scotland (HS QIS) Part of the bowel. Also called the large intestine or large bowel. This structure has five major divisions: caecum, ascending colon, transverse colon, descending colon, and sigmoid colon. The colon is responsible for forming, storing and expelling waste matter into the rectum. A procedure in which a part of the colon is removed and the two remaining ends are rejoined.
