Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a completed observational registry study collecting real-world evidence on non-intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (NIVATS) for lung cancer in China. No results have been posted in this registry record; the study combines RWE collection, cost-effectiveness analysis, and discrete choice experiments to inform health technology assessment.
Observational. Lung Cancer; age from 18 Years; to 75 Years. Intervention: Non-intubated Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery Group; Intubated Thoracic Surgery Group. n = 876. 21 sites: China.

Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
This registry record does not report clinical outcomes or effect sizes. Clinicians should await publication of results before using this evidence to guide adoption of non-intubated VATS or inform patient counseling.
This is a completed observational registry study with real-world evidence design; no results are posted in this registry record, and the study aims to generate evidence rather than test a hypothesis against a control.

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT06574295). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Fudan University. Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Study type: OBSERVATIONAL. Enrollment: 876 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Lung Cancer. Primary outcome measures: Patient-reported Outcomes , Measured within 3 days post-surgery; Postoperative hospitalization time , Measured in days from surgery completion to hospital discharge.. Brief summary: This research focuses on a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) of non-intubated video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) for lung nodules. Lung cancer, one of the most prevalent malignancies globally, has a high incidence and mortality rate, particularly in China. Traditional treatments like thoracotomy are highly invasive, while conventional thoracoscopic surgery can induce anesthesia-related complications. Non-intubated VATS offers a promising alternative by avoiding intubation and mechanical ventilation, thus reducing complications, anesthesia burden, and recovery time. The study aims to comprehensively assess the clinical effectiveness, safety, and economic viability of non-intubated VATS for lung cancer treatment through systematic literature reviews, real-world evidence (RWE), and cost-effectiveness analysis. The research will also explore patient preferences using discrete choice experiments (DCE). By evaluating this technology from a Chinese perspective, the study seeks to provide evidence-based recommendations for the broader adoption of non-intubated VATS in clinical settings.
