Patient
Statistics - Counting Gigabytes and Slices
- Now to the key information
of these pages: the patient statistics. All data were analysed for the period
Dec 96 - Sep 98. I did not evaluate the average number of plans that are stored
with each patient, since I am not convinced of the value of this information
(Which plans were really treated?) and since it would have meant a lot of
extra work. The Primary Treatment Region is evaluated from the VARiS database.
The patient ID of our patients in VARiS contains a three to four letter code
which gives information about the primary diagnosis (ICD code). So for each
patient in Cadplan I looked up the patient ID in VARiS and summed up the tumor
groups for the pie chart.
