Day-case surgery for TURBT
Data were extracted from HES for all TURBT procedures conducted during the six year study period using the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys Classification of Interventions and Procedures version 4 (OPCS-4) code M421. Patients were then excluded if they were not an elective or day-case admission, TURBT was not the dominant procedure during the spell, their pre-operative stay was greater than one day, there was a subsequent TURBT for the same person within the study period or if the trust at which they were seen was not visited by the GIRFT team. Day-case admissions were identified where the patient was admitted and discharged on the same day.
