The following article describes the development of a new data use for cancer registry information. The registry in Hartford Hospital recently participated in a summer program for high school students interested in the field of health care. After an introduction to the registry and its core data elements, a research topic was assigned to the students. Using de-identified registry data consisting of 101 non-small cell lung cancer patients who were diagnosed in 2015, 4 students in the oncology work group (Zirui Hao, Princess Harmon, Nathaniel Nicholson and Kajal Shah) from the Academy of Aerospace and Engineering in Windsor, Connecticut were charged with analyzing and drawing conclusions from the data. The students focused on what correlations could be made between patients with the same comorbidity factors using staging as a designator.

Article Synopsis
- The study aims to create and validate a predictive model for urinary continence status one year after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using data collected before and three months after surgery.
- A total of 9,421 patients from 25 hospitals in Belgium were analyzed to identify factors affecting urinary incontinence, utilizing a questionnaire to measure outcomes.
- The results reveal that various factors, such as age, preoperative urinary incontinence scores, and quality of life measures, are associated with higher levels of incontinence one year post-surgery, paving the way for better patient-informed treatment decisions.
