The objectives were to adapt the NLCA data set for use in the Australian context, to analyse the findings using descriptive statistics and to determine feasibility of implementing a routine, ongoing audit similar to that in the UK. Individual data items were adapted from the NLCA by an expert steering committee. Data were collated from the Victorian Cancer Registry, Victorian Admitted Episodes Dataset and individual hospital databases. Individual medical records were audited for missing data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eight hundred and forty\u2010five patients were diagnosed across the sites in 2013. Most were aged 65\u201380 (55%) and were male (62%). Most had non\u2010small\u2010cell lung cancer (81%) with 9% diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and 2% with mesothelioma. Data completeness varied significantly between fields. For those with higher levels of completeness, headline indicators of clinical care were comparable with NLCA data. The Victorian population seem to lack access to specialist lung cancer nurse services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Lung cancer care at participating hospitals appeared to be comparable with the UK in 2013. In future, prospective data collection should be harmonised across sites and correlated with survival outcomes. One area of concern was a lack of documented access to specialist nursing services.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/imj.14183","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,5]],"date-time":"2018-12-05T05:58:52Z","timestamp":1543989532000},"page":"1001-1006","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre lung cancer clinical audit: collecting the UK National Lung Cancer Audit data from hospitals in Australia"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"49","author":[{"given":"Linda","family":"Mileshkin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3663-4406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catherine","family":"Dunn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hannah","family":"Cross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Victorian Comprehensive Cancer Centre  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary","family":"Duffy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Shaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Phillip","family":"Antippa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre  Melbourne Victoria Australia"},{"name":"Royal Melbourne Hospital  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Mitchell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Austin Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tim","family":"Akhurst","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Conron","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Vincent\u2019s Hospital  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Melissa","family":"Moore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Vincent\u2019s Hospital  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jenny","family":"Philip","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St Vincent\u2019s Hospital  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Bartlett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Western Health  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jon","family":"Emery","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Practice and Primary Health Care Academic Centre The University of Melbourne  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Belinda","family":"Zambello","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Western and Central Melbourne Integrated Cancer Service  Melbourne Victoria Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","unstructured":"Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.Cancer in Australia 2017.
