Quality Matters: Linking Patterns of Care to Ovarian Cancer Survival in a National Gynae-Oncology Registry
This national registry reveals variations in CQI adherence. While survival for advanced-stage disease has improved, it remains suboptimal. Adherence to specific quality indicators-notably optimal surgical cytoreduction, standard first-line chemotherapy, and genetic testing-is significantly associated with improved survival. Continuous monitoring and targeted quality improvement initiatives are essential for enhancing survival for women with OC.
