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.
