Abstract
PURPOSE In Nepal, breast cancer is the second most frequent kind of cancer among women. This is our first effort to audit our institute's breast cancer management and compare it to industry-standard quality indicators (QIs). METHODS: A total of 104 female patients diagnosed with breast cancer and treated for a year at Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital were included in the retrospective analysis. Convenience sampling was the foundation for participant selection. 19 of the 33 QIs in breast cancer management that are relevant to our setting were selected based on recommendations from the European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists. Every patient's QI was computed and compared to the standard aim set by the European Society of Breast Cancer Specialists. Tables displaying the computed frequencies and percentages were shown. For every QI, the binomial 95% of the rates of QI adherence were also computed.
