Abstract Background To determine if the positive outcomes from clinical trials regarding safety and efficacy of metabolic bariatric surgery are reproducible at a national level. Methods A longitudinal registry‐based observation study with data collected all persons undergoing in Australia 28 February 2012–31 December 2021 including 122,567 index patients who underwent 134,625 completed procedures. Main Outcomes Measures Defined adverse 90‐days (unplanned readmission, intensive care admission...
The year 2020 will be remembered as the of most significant global pandemic since Spanish influenza. As Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) gradually encompasses globe, it leaves a trail destruction in its wake. Hundreds thousands direct lives lost, millions persons affected with disease, potentially long-term health consequences, disruption to travel and trade, dislocation communities individual lives. At an international, national community level, leaders across...
Background: The Australian Breast Device Registry (ABDR) is a clinical quality registry that monitors the long-term safety and performance of breast devices, including implants, tissue expanders, matrix/mesh. A 5-question BREAST-Q Implant Surveillance questionnaire was captured with primary aim identifying poorly performing devices in women undergoing cosmetic or reconstructive procedures from 2017 to 2021. Poor response rates limited ability achieve this aim. Higher patient-reported outcome...
Abstract Background The 12-item Short-Form Health Survey version 2 (SF-12v2), a widely used, generic patient-reported measure of health status that provides summary scores physical and mental health. No study to date has examined the measurement properties SF-12v2 in patients with lung cancer using Rasch analysis. aim this was extend psychometric evaluations SF-12 within population ensure its validity reliability assess population. Methods Participants Victorian Lung Cancer Registry (VLCR)...
A key measure of lung function in people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is Forced Expiratory Volume the first second FEV1 percent predicted (FEV1pp). This study aimed to address challenges identifying predictors FEV1pp, specifically dealing non-linearity and censoring effect death. Data was obtained from a large multi-centre Australian Registry (ACFDR). linear mixed model used FEV1pp as endpoint. There were 3655 patients (52.4% male) included our study. Restricted cubic splines fit non-linear...
Abstract Background and Objectives Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) captures the patient’s perspective regarding quality of life, daily functioning, symptom severity, overall health, how these may be impacted by health care or other interventions. PROMs are used in clinical registries (CQRs) for a number diseases to assess impact on quality-of-life. This scoping review aimed identify dementia-specific PROMs, determine being used, whether they within dementia registries. Research...
Abstract Background Clinical quality registries (CQRs) monitor compliance against optimal practice and provide feedback to the clinical community wider stakeholder groups. Despite a number of CQRs having incorporated patient perspective support evaluation healthcare delivery, no recommendations for inclusion patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in exist. The aim this study was develop core set PROMs CQRs. Method An online two-round Delphi survey performed among CQR data custodians, life...
Australia will take a world-first step towards offering preventive DNA screening through the public health care system In adult-onset genomic conditions, such as hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC), Lynch syndrome familial hypercholesterolaemia, certain variants confer high risk of developing future disease.1 for these conditions could thereby identify medically actionable genetic factors, prompting timely management informed decision making from early adulthood to facilitate...
<b>Introduction</b> The Australasian Pelvic Floor Procedure Registry (APFPR) was established in 2019 to monitor safety and efficacy of pelvic floor procedures (PFP) that use prostheses. This followed increased international Australian regulation mesh for PFPs, resulting an overall reduction PFPs changes the procedure profile. aim this study determine contributing factors clinician responses clinical practice trends, implications APFPR.<br><b>Methods</b> An...
Previous research has shown that Dutch medical residents feel inadequate in certain management areas: 85% had a need for training and reported preferences on the format of such training. Our objective was to explore if perceived deficiencies needs among were similar those their peers other countries, longer duration incorporation CanMEDS competency framework into curricula as well an influence these perceptions. Medical from Denmark, Canada Australia approached participation. The...
Abstract Survival statistics, estimated using data from national cystic fibrosis (CF) registries, inform the CF community and monitor disease progression. This study aimed to estimate survival among people with in Australia identify factors associated survival. population-based cohort used prospectively collected 23 Australian centres participating Data Registry (ACFDR) 2005–2020. Period analysis was calculate median age of estimates for each 5-year window 2005–2009 until 2016–2020. The...
ABSTRACT Background Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are increasingly being introduced in clinical registries. The Australasian Pelvic Floor Procedure Registry (APFPR) is a quality registry which records information about procedures for stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of capturing PROMs women with floor disorders (PFDs) identified via APFPR, using various modes methods administration. Methods We administered...
