The Australasian Pelvic Floor Procedure Registry (APFPR) is a clinician-led national clinical quality registry. The APFPR commenced operations early in 2021 with the stress urinary incontinence (SUI) mesh procedure module and is recruiting patients from participating hospitals.
The pelvic organ prolapse (POP) mesh procedure module is expected to be rolled out in early 2022. Both clinician and patient reported outcomes are collected by the registry. The registry has been set up to increase the safety of procedures that utilse medical devices such as pelvic mesh and monitor quality of care.
The APFPR will collect data relating to pelvic floor disorder diagnosis, surgery details and intra and post operative complications of implantation, revision and explantation procedures. Additional data items will be collected for risk adjustment purposes.
