Between-hospital variation in biopsy indication for patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma in the Dutch Quality Registry for Neurosurgery
A substantial between-hospital variation in biopsy percentages was found. Patient factors (age, ASA classification and KPS) but also hospital factors (such as academic setting) impact surgical decisions. Variation persisted also after correction for potential confounders, indicating that other factors play a role in decision-making.
