Australian Register of Clinical Registries

The Commission has developed the Australian Register of Clinical Registries (the Register) to facilitate collaboration and awareness of registry activity among key stakeholders.

The Register provides summary information on the purpose and organisation of clinical registries at all stages of development. The Register is voluntary and contains a list of clinical registries that have self-nominated to be published on the Register.

Clinical registries will be added to this list as the content of each registered clinical registry is curated and prepared for publishing. Registry custodians are requested to notify the Commission when registry details change. These changes will then be updated on the Register. 

For clarification, the registration process does not include approval or endorsement by the Commission that the clinical registry is a clinical quality registry. 

The search function allows you to conduct a basic search of the clinical registries for information such as clinical condition, registry name and participating sites. The ‘prioritised clinical domain’ field included in the list is in line with the Prioritised list of clinical domains for clinical quality registry development: Final report. 

Once you find a relevant clinical registry, you will be able to contact the person listed as the ‘Registry contact’ for more information.

ACSQHC-ARCR-005 Blood transfusion Nil Australian and New Zealand Massive Transfusion Registry ANZ-MTR

Transfusion Research Unit, Monash University, sphpm.transfusion@monash.edu

2011

The Australian and New Zealand Massive Transfusion Registry (ANZ-MTR) Clinical Dataset brings together data from multiple sources and analyses and reports contemporary information on transfusion practice and patient outcomes following critical bleeding (CB) and massive transfusion (MT) (defined as ≤ 5 RBC units in any 4 hour period during hospital admission) in all clinical settings, including surgery, trauma, obstetrics and gastrointestinal bleeding.  Data on more than 9,200 adult (≤ 18 years) patients from 29 participating sites have already been collected, analysed and the results shared with participants via site reports, presentations and publications.

The ANZ-MTR’s unique and valuable dataset, available to inform policy development and practice improvement, is being transitioned from primarily a research tool to a sustainable operational model to align with Australia’s national safety and quality framework, whilst facilitating research.

ANZ-MTR data are already linked with the Australian and New Zealand National Death Indexes and linkages with other registries (e.g. intensive care, cardiothoracic surgery, trauma, maternity outcomes) to provide expanded data for more sensitive outcome measurement is in progress. 

The ANZ-MTR uses electronic data extraction and data linkage methodologies. Clinical data from hospital data sources, including Laboratory Information Systems (for transfusion history and laboratory results) and Health Information Services databases (for patient demographics and admission data), are electronically extracted by the participating hospitals. The data are then sent securely to the ANZ-MTR, located at Monash University, where the separate information system data are linked to enable detailed analyses that otherwise would not be easily possible.

ACSQHC-ARCR-006 Rehabilitation Nil Australasian Rehabilitation Outcomes Centre AROC

AROC Director, Australian Health Services Research Institute, University of Wollongong, aroc@uow.edu.au

2002

AROC is the rehabilitation integrated clinical outcomes and benchmarking centre for Australia and New Zealand. AROC operates in the inpatient and ambulatory settings and includes both adult and paediatric rehabilitation sectors. Coverage in the inpatient adult rehabilitation sector is almost 100%, with 289 services participating in data collection and benchmarking. A growing number of adult ambulatory rehabilitation services are also participating. All specialist paediatric rehabilitation services are participating in both the paediatric inpatient and ambulatory benchmarking initiatives.

The primary purpose of AROC is to facilitate improvement in the quality of rehabilitation and thus patient outcomes achieved. Each member of AROC collects the appropriate defined AROC dataset for each and every episode of rehabilitation care provided. The datasets include demographic, clinical, process and outcome data items. AROC receives data describing almost 150,000 episodes of rehabilitation each year.  The longitudinal database currently contains 1.5 million records and is thus a rich resource that forms a spine of rehabilitation data available to underpin research in the sector.

Members of AROC receive a suite of benchmarking reports each six months, comparing the outcomes they achieve with the national data.  AROC also holds regular quality forums/benchmarking workshops to present data at service level and facilitate the identification and uptake of best practice processes. As well as publishing an Annual Report describing the state of rehabilitation in each country, AROC provides a range of resources for members including decision support tools and best practice case studies.

ACSQHC-ARCR-012 Chronic pain Nil electronic Persistent Pain Outcomes Collaboration ePPOC

Hilarie Tardif, Australian Health Services Research Institute, University of Wollongong, eppoc-uow@uow.edu.au

2013

ePPOC is an integrated outcome centre which aims to improve the quality of outcomes and services for people experiencing chronic pain. It is an initiative of the Faculty of Pain Medicine, and was established in 2013 with funding from the NSW Ministry of Health.



There are 90 specialist adult and paediatric pain management services participating in ePPOC, across Australia and New Zealand.

The purpose and aims of ePPOC are to:

  • produce information on the effectiveness of pain management interventions through use of standardised assessment tools and measures;
  • develop an Australasian benchmarking system to improve pain management outcomes;
  • provide comparative data to pain management services using the benchmarks developed;
  • develop clinical and management information reports that meet the needs of ePPOC stakeholders;
  • provide annual reports that summarise the Australasian data; and
  • develop research proposals to address areas of interest within the pain management sector.

ePPOC receives data describing over 32,000 patients attending chronic pain clinics each year. The longitudinal database currently contains over 100,000 patients.

For adult services, nine benchmarks and one indicator have been endorsed for pain management services to strive to achieve. These cover the following domains: pain and interference, depression, anxiety, stress, pain self-efficacy, pain catastrophising, opioid use and waiting time for treatment.

For paediatric services, there is currently one benchmark and three indicators, covering waiting time for treatment, pain, quality of life and functional disability.

ACSQHC-ARCR-015 Severe Asthma Nil Australian Benralizumab Registry ABenRA

Peter Gibson, Hunter Medical Research Institute, peter.gibson@newcastle.edu.au,asar@thoracic.org.au

2019

The Australian Benralizumab Registry (the ABenRA) collects and reports on data from people with severe refractory eosinophilic asthma who receive benralizumab: 

  • As part of the PBS subsidised benralizumab treatment cycle, and the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) Section 100 Special Authority Program, or
  • For severe refractory eosinophilic asthma outside of the PBS restrictions.

The ABenRA provides a mechanism for sharing information which will help researchers and clinicians to better understand the use, efficacy, and safety associated with the treatment of severe asthma with benralizumab.

The aim of the registry is to assess the change in patient reported asthma related symptoms after enrolment in the benralizumab registry following initiation of benralizumab in a real-world setting in the full study population and pre-specified subgroups.

ACSQHC-ARCR-034 Thrombotic Microangiopathies including TTP and HUS Nil Thrombotic Microangiopathies (TMA) Registry TMA Registry

Dr Shiyang (Shayna) Jia, Transfusion Research Unit, Monash University, tmaregistry@monash.edu

2008

Thrombotic Microangiopathies (TMAs) are characterised by platelet aggregation within small blood vessels. This consumes platelets (causing thrombocytopenia), and the damaged/narrowed vessels cause mechanical destruction of red blood cells (microangiopathic haemolytic anaemia). The consequent disruption to blood flow within small vessels leads to end organ damage/dysfunction (e.g. kidney failure or stroke). Thrombotic microangiopathies can occur as a result of a variety of inherited and acquired conditions, and are now seen (and recognised) more commonly, particularly as they can occur as a result of new medications, such as some of the newer anti-cancer agents. 

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is long recognised as a TMA affecting primarily the central nervous system and kidneys. TTP is a rare, life threatening disorder that had an almost universally fatal outcome till the introduction of plasmapheresis in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome (HUS) is another rare TMA often preceded by a diarrhoeal illness caused by Shiga toxin-producing organisms (especially Escherichia coli (STEC) or Shigella bacteria). Atypical HUS (aHUS) has been used to encompass a group of TMAs that are neither TTP or HUS, and which are most commonly associated with acquired or inherited defects in the complement pathway or complement regulatory proteins.

The relative rarity of the individual types of TMA is a barrier to accrual of data and material to support scientific studies and randomised clinical trials. A national registry for all Australian patients with TMA provides an important community resource.

The aims of the TMA Registry are to:

  • Determine the incidence, natural history, specific clinical characteristics, and clinical outcome of patients with TMAs, particularly TTP, HUS and aHUS
  • Provide information on the range of therapies employed in the treatment of TMA patients
  • Explore factors influencing clinical outcomes
  • Help define optimal management of patients with TTP and HUS
  • Inform and inspire future hypothesis-driven research in this area

The TMA Registry is a register of patients who develop TTP or HUS in any clinical setting. Clinical data collection is undertaken by clinicians in specialist units at participating hospitals.  Data management and analysis is undertaken by the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine (DEPM), Monash University and interpreted with the input of specialist clinicians on the steering committee.

Elysia Greenhill, Monash University, ugicr@monash.edu

2015

The Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Registry (UGICR) is a clinical quality registry that monitors the quality of care provided to Australians diagnosed with upper gastrointestinal cancers.

The UGICR was established in 2015 and is managed by the Cancer Research Program, within the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University. The School has extensive experience in the establishment and management of clinical registries and is considered a centre of excellence in clinical registry science.

The oesophagogastric module of the UGICR aims to identify unwarranted variation in treatment and outcomes for people with newly diagnosed cancer arising from the oesophagus and stomach, and provide timely risk-adjusted benchmarked reports of quality of care to participating hospitals.

2009

The Australia and New Zealand Sarcoma Association (ANZSA) supports sarcoma data collection at six major sarcoma referral centres around Australia through the ACCORD sarcoma database.

Data collection was initiated as a pilot in 2009, firstly at Peter MaCallum Cancer Centre, and subsequently expanded to include additional sites. Each hospital has HREC approval in place for ongoing data collection for research purposes and only custodians of ethically approved studies can access de-identified data. Single-site and multi-site audits and patterns of care studies have been conducted and ANZSA produces six-monthly data reports and encourages the engagement of sarcoma researchers in utilising the sarcoma registry.

2015

This registry was set up in 2015. The aim was to establish a longitudinal clinical registry with initial retrospective ascertainment of cases for the preceding 22 years (1993 to 2015) and ongoing prospective ascertainment of all children with a Neural Tube Defect (NTD) or Sacral Agenesis (SA) who attend the Spina Bifida/Neural Tube Defect clinic at The Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne.

It is hoped the other site in Victoria caring for children with this condition, (Monash Children's Hospital) will join the registry and then the rest of Australia in order to determine current practices ,therapies with the hope that longitudinal outcomes may inform future practice.

2011

The Australia New Zealand Trauma Registry (ATR) collects 90 data-points in accordance with the Bi-national Trauma Minimum Dataset for Australia and New Zealand, for severely injured patients (ISS>12) or death after injury, from 28 Australian and seven New Zealand major trauma centres. The ATR provides risk adjusted outcomes to trauma centres and continues to increase its capture of major trauma through rigorous recruitment. The ATR focuses on monitoring trauma care, from time of incident to discharge from definitive care, in order to reflect and act upon emerging trends and demands on the trauma system across Australia and New Zealand.

Collecting and analysing information about trauma patients, their management and their injury outcomes informs future improvements to health service provision and development, with the long term societal aim of reducing preventable deaths and permanent disability as a result of injuries.

Alfred Health through the National Trauma Research Institute.
Monash University is contracted to manage the ATR database, including data storage, safety, security, and the provision of analytical support services.

2019

The Australasian Myositis Registry (‘Myositis Registry’) is a multi-centre, international, longitudinal, observational program for patients with myositis that has been designed to track the natural history and progression of the disease and patient outcomes.

The benefits of the Myositis Registry are twofold: for clinicians and researchers, the Myositis Registry will provide an important tool for novel insights into disease mechanisms, diagnostic tools and identify potential treatments and targets for therapies; and for patients the Myositis Registry will offer an opportunity to take an active role in their clinical care via a ‘Patient Portal’, which allows the patient to access their data and monitor their condition.

The Myositis Registry also provides a research feasibility and recruitment facility, as the database population can be analysed to identify potential research candidates and determine study feasibility within disease sub-groups, including for studies with extensive phenotype inclusion criteria. Potential research participants can be notified of research opportunities without their confidentiality being compromised, allowing the patient to make informed choices regarding research participation.

ACSQHC-ARCR-106 Obesity Nil Bariatric Surgery Registry BSR

Ms Jennifer Holland, Monash University, med-bsr@monash.edu 

2012

The Bariatric Surgery Registry is a population-based, observational, quality improvement study of persons with obesity who have had bariatric surgery. Its purpose is to gather and analyse information which is used to monitor the safety of bariatric surgery and enhance the quality of care received by persons undergoing bariatric surgery in Australia and New Zealand. Anyone who undergoes bariatric surgery in Australia or New Zealand is eligible for inclusion in the study.

The registry collects information on the operation performed, who performed the operation, where the operation occurred, complications from the surgery, weight at various time points, and diabetes status and management. The incidence of adverse events (unplanned hospital readmission, unplanned return to theatre, unplanned ICU admission) and deaths related to bariatric surgery are monitored for ninety days after surgery for all participants. Clinical outcomes for participants who are enrolled with their initial bariatric procedure are assessed annually to determine long term health effects of having bariatric surgery by following weight/body mass index (BMI) changes, differences in managing diabetes in patients identified as diabetic, the need for revision surgery, and vital status.

2020

The Arthroplasty Outcomes in Regional Australia (AORA) registry is a clinical quality registry (self-reported) run on behalf of select orthopaedic surgeons in private practice in Grafton, NSW. This registry currently collects clinical history, treatment characteristics, and functional and patient-reported outcomes from patients undergoing treatment for knee or hip osteoarthritis. As the participants progress through the treatment pathway, their outcomes are assessed against pre-determined ‘failure to cure’ criteria, consisting of a combination of validated outcome measures and clinically relevant improvement thresholds (eg. minimum clinically important differences). The overall aim of the registry is to evaluate the current standard of care, and to inform evidence-based changes in clinical practice.

ACSQHC-ARCR-138 Immunisation Nil Surveillance of Adverse Events Following Vaccination in the Community SAEFVIC

Professor Jim Buttery, Murdoch Children’s Research Institute, The Royal Children’s Hospital, jim.buttery@mcri.edu.au

2007

Adverse event following immunisation (AEFI) is ‘an unwanted or unexpected event following the administration of a vaccine(s). AEFIs may be caused by a vaccine(s) or may occur by coincidence: that is, it would have occurred regardless of vaccination’. AEFIs also include conditions that may occur following the incorrect handling and/or administration of a vaccine.

SAEFVIC aims to provide increased early detection and appropriate rapid response to AEFI in adults and children, integrated with clinical support for reporting health care workers and patients/families within Victoria. The intention is to enhance the passive surveillance of all significant or rare AEFI, regardless of causality. The surveillance information is used to detect vaccine safety ‘signals’, prompt action and maintain confidence in immunisation programs. This collaboration aims to deliver a system with world-leading sensitivity for Victorian health authorities to rapidly detect and research vaccine safety concerns, whether they are new trends or just temporally associated events.

Rosanna Tavella, The University of Adelaide, and Central Adelaide Local Health Network, SA Health, rosanna.tavella@adelaide.edu.au

2012

The Coronary Angiogram Database of South Australia (CADOSA) Registry was established to provide a comprehensive data infrastructure of invasive coronary procedures in order to evaluate the delivery of quality health care thereby facilitating clinical improvement and supporting clinical coronary research.

Established in 2012, the Registry now contains over 45,000 records, representative of public and private hospital clinical practice in the management of coronary artery disease. This unique Registry has attracted both national and international acclaim and continues to pioneer new innovations in clinical registry structure and function.

Key Components: 

Quality Assurance Module contains baseline clinical, angiographic, procedural and discharge data for patients undergoing invasive diagnostic angiography with/without percutaneous coronary interventions (all consecutive in the South Australian public hospital are captured). Linkage with administrative datasets also enables the capture of future cardiovascular outcomes such as readmission to hospital and mortality. This data collection is compatible with the American College of Cardiology National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR®), specifically the CathPCI Registry®.

Health Outcome Module contains baseline, 1 and 12-month patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) including symptomatic status, disease-associated physical impairment, quality of life, and depression. Evaluating these patient-related outcomes provides key insights into the effectiveness of clinical therapies and underscores the most aspect of healthcare delivery – our patients. The CADOSA PROMs collection is endorsed by ICHOM (International Consortium of Health Outcomes Measurement) as it captures the recommended standard data set for coronary artery disease.

2017

The Registry of Senior Australians (ROSA) is a cross-sectoral data platform designed to monitor the health, service utilisation, medication use, mortality, and other outcomes of people receiving aged care services in Australia. ROSA brings together datasets collected from the aged care and health care sector by the Commonwealth and state health authorities, to provide us with a full picture of the ageing pathway for individuals in aged care. ROSA produces evidence to guide decision-making for quality, coordinated, efficient, innovative and age-friendly services and practices.

Like other Australian clinical quality registries, ROSA was designed to monitor the effectiveness and appropriateness of aged care services provided to older Australians and to identify variance and advise on best practices. In addition to conducting comprehensive reviews of its captured population, including evaluations of aged care pathways and service utilisation, ROSA also has an 'Outcome Monitoring System' of quality and safety indicators for aged care providers and facilities.

The Australian National Diabetes Audit (ANDA) is a well-established, biennial, quality activity facilitated by the National Association of Diabetes Centres, in services providing care for people with diabetes across Australia (all states and territories). Participating diabetes centres including primary, secondary and tertiary care receive an individualised report of their patient data on the clinical status and outcomes of individuals attending services providing diabetes care across the country. The aim of ANDA is for diabetes centres to use this information for quality improvement and benchmarking purposes. ANDA captures patients aged over 18 years with diabetes attending participating centres across Australia. The outcomes collected alternate each year through the following audits:

1. ANDA-AQCA (Australian Quality Clinical Audit) – The focus is on clinical indicators known to impact on the outcomes of the person with diabetes

2. ANDA-AQSMA – (Australian Quality Self-Management) – the focus is on self-management and diabetes distress. Data related to diabetes education, self-care practices and quality of life is collected.

Suzanne Grant,NICM Health Research Institute, Western Sydney University, S.Grant@westernsydney.edu.au

2020

The evaluation of WSIH is an ongoing, prospective observational study of patients attending WSIH and the practitioners and staff that care for them. Data collected will contribute to a patient registry, which will store data and enable observation of patient reported outcomes (PROs).

Developed and managed by Western Sydney University, the WSIH Patient Registry is the first nationwide database of its kind, and will be used to evaluate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) over time, such as quality of life, pain, mood, and stress, for patients who supplement conventional healthcare with therapies such as acupuncture, yoga, and mindfulness. This registry will perform prospective surveillance of participants attending the WSIH centre for clinical services.  The registry combines de-identified patient-reported data with information from the Electronic Health Records documenting patient visit details, procedures offered, diagnosis, and patient pain-assessment score, as well as linkage with health information from Commonwealth administrative and other external datasets.

The WSIH Patient Registry will evaluate whether PROs differ with the frequency and duration of each particular intervention, while also tracking variables based on multiple characteristics of the participants, such as age, gender, ethnicity, race, and clinical condition. Essential data elements that capture PROs (based on patient response to questionnaires) and measures of clinical activity will be obtained comparing their baseline with results at 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months.

The AuSCR provides a platform for participating hospitals to collect data on processes of care and outcomes for patients admitted with acute stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA).  Data are used to improve the quality of stroke care nationally.  The process of care variables collected align with the National Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Management.

The AuSCR Office centralises the collection of follow-up data on patient reported outcomes three to six months after admission. Outcomes collected include stroke recurrence, hospital readmission, health status, disability (as measured with the modified Rankin Scale), and quality of life measures (using the EuroQol EQ-5D-3L and Visual Analogue Scale).

The AuSCR is led by a consortium comprised of the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health (The Florey), the Australian and New Zealand Stroke Organisation (formerly Stroke Society of Australasia), Stroke Foundation and Monash University. The Florey Institute is the Data Custodian. In general each state has a lead HREC. Some states also have multiple HRECs as some hospitals do not accept the approval of other committees.

ACSQHC-ARCR-189 People with a Fontan circulation Neonatal critical care Australian and New Zealand Fontan Registry ANZ Fontan Registry

Rachael Cordina, Royal Prince Alfred, rachael.cordina@sydney.edu.au

2009

A normal heart comprises two pumping chambers called ventricles. Being born with a single ventricle is one of the most severe conditions in newborns with projected mortality of 25-40% within the first 4 years of life. A series of operations provide a lifeline to these patients. The last of these is the Fontan procedure; a procedure performed at around 4 years of age, that connects the veins directly to the pulmonary arteries.

It was long believed that these surgeries would not result in long-lasting survival, however, under the leadership of the Australian and New Zealand Fontan Registry (ANZ Fontan Registry), it has now been demonstrated that survival 35 years after Fontan will reach 85%. The ANZ Fontan Registry is the largest database of patients surviving with a single ventricle and the only population-based registry of Fontan patients’ data. It aims to facilitate a greater understanding of these patients’ short and long term health outcomes, as well as factors which can be modified to improve their health and wellbeing. Being the largest registry of its kind, and with strong partnerships between multiple sites throughout Australia and New Zealand, the ANZ Fontan Registry enables high-quality research (including clinical trials) to be conducted in order to optimise and  standardise care for this population.

Dr Jennifer Reilly, Monash University/Alfred Hospital, jennifer.reilly@monash.edu

2020

The aim of ANZCA PCORE: Pilot is to develop a pilot population-based perioperative clinical quality registry to optimise quality of care provided to individuals undergoing anaesthesia and surgery, in accordance with the Operating Principles of the Framework for Australian Clinical Quality Registries. The target population is adults undergoing inpatient non-cardiac surgery (requiring a hospital stay of at least 1 night postoperatively). Public and private hospitals in each state and territory of Australia are invited to join ANZCA PCORE: Pilot.

ANZCA PCORE: Pilot plans to collect a minimum dataset of perioperative risk factors, process of care data (including critical care admission) and mortality data to provide:

  • Measurement of perioperative risk factors and mortality outcomes
  • Risk adjusted benchmarking of hospital performance
  • Identification of outlying hospitals
  • Mortality risk prediction modelling
  • Population-level epidemiological data to inform clinical trials and cohort studies
  • Facilitation of registry-based cohort studies

The pilot registry will initially be based at Monash University but has ethics approval to be hosted at the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare in Canberra and enabled for data linkage to the ANZICS CORE Registries and the National Death Index.

ACSQHC-ARCR-196 Thyroid Cancer High burden cancers Australian and New Zealand Thyroid Cancer Registry ANZTCR

Dr Liane Ioannou, Monash University, anztcr@monash.edu

2017

The purpose of the ANZTCR is to develop a population-based thyroid cancer clinical quality registry to monitor and improve the quality of care provided to individuals diagnosed with thyroid cancer in Australia and New Zealand.

The aim of the ANZTCR is to optimise clinical care by capturing clinical data for all newly diagnosed thyroid cancer patients.

The population includes patients aged ≥ 16 years that have been newly diagnosed, assessed or treated for thyroid cancer at a participating site within the timeframe for inclusion. The ANZTCR uses an opt-out approach to minimise selection bias and to achieve near 100% coverage of the eligible population.

To benchmark clinical care, a consensus set of clinical quality indicators were developed using a modified-Delphi approach (MUHREC #11117). A minimum dataset has been developed to measures outcomes regarding key diagnostic, pathological, clinical, treatment, complications and outcomes from diagnosis to 90-days post-thyroid cancer diagnosis as well as recurrence (if applicable).

ACSQHC-ARCR-203 Anaesthesia for day surgery Nil Day Care Anaesthesia Outcomes Registry DayCOR

Dr Ken Sleeman, kensleeman@gmail.com

Dr Nicole Tan, niki.tan@anaestheticservices.com.au

2018

In 2016–2017, 2.34 million anaesthetics were performed for day surgery procedures in Australia. Currently there is no established method to determine the quality of recovery in these patients, hence we do not know which patients experience suboptimal outcomes. This evidence gap has implications for patient care, and quality improvement initiatives at clinician, hospital and state levels.

DayCOR is a software system which collects, alerts, manages and analyses patient demographic and patient-reported data. A survey link is automatically sent to patients via SMS and email 24 hours after discharge, with a reminder at 48 hours. Clicking the link opens their web-based survey. After a short introduction, patients opt in to a 15-question review consisting of clinical, process and patient experience questions.

The aims of this registry:

  1. Collect patient-reported outcomes after anaesthesia for day surgery
  2. Alert anaesthetists and nurses to post-discharge adverse events after anaesthesia for day surgery
  3. Report de-identified data to clinicians, hospital/day facility (‘site’) management and other stakeholders.

The target population is all admitted patients who undergo anaesthesia or sedation for day surgery.

Clinical outcomes are degree of pain, nausea/vomiting, sleep quality, confusion, falls, ability to return to usual activities; process outcomes are analgesia and antiemetic availability and effectiveness, adherence to postoperative and medication instructions, requirement for post-discharge medical contact; patient experience outcomes are positive and negative hospital experiences, and suggestions to improve health care. Any concerning responses such as pain or prolonged vomiting are automatically emailed to the treating anaesthetist and site administrator.

ACSQHC-ARCR-220 Clinical ophthalmology Nil Save Sight Registries SSR

Professor Mark Gillies, Sydney Eye Hospital and the University of Sydney, ssi.ssr@sydney.edu.au

2010

The Save Sight Registries (SSR) System is a unique online platform designed to track and document real-world outcomes for the treatment of eye diseases through the collection, exchange and analysis of de-identified health data. The international SSR flagship project is the Fight Retinal Blindness! Registry, established in Australia in 2007. Through its research activities, SSR enables current and emerging therapies to be evaluated for patient safety, clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness. Our reports are read by clinicians, researchers, policy makers, public health administrators and patient advocacy organisations seeking to improve health outcomes for patients with a range of eye conditions. In Australia, the SSR system has been successfully implemented in the private and public sector health care systems in all state and territories. Additionally, SSR has also expanded to other countries including New Zealand, Switzerland, Singapore, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. 

The primary objectives of SSR are three-fold:

  • to provide a secure, web-based platform for clinicians to document high-quality clinical data on patient treatments outcomes
  • to generate clinician specific analytics and reports for self-auditing
  • to improve patient care through the establishment of benchmark standards of care for specific ocular conditions that can be treated with available and emerging treatments.

Patient population: Patients being treated for eye diseases including diabetic retinopathy, keratoconus, glaucoma, and ocular melanoma.

Outcomes measured: Visual acuity and treatment burden are two key indicators for the assessment of the efficacy of treatment, therapies and surgical interventions.

ACSQHC-ARCR-228 Hydrocephalus Nil Australasian Shunt Registry Nil

Katrina Smith, Neurosurgical Society of Australasia,& nbsp;shunt.registry@nsa.org.au

 

2016

The primary purpose of the Shunt Registry is to systematically collect information related to the use of cerebrospinal (CSF) shunts to guide best clinical practices, processes and improve health outcomes for patients with CSF shunts. Any hospital throughout Australasia where cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) shunt surgery is performed is eligible to contribute data to the Shunt Registry & nbsp; Any patient undergoing a CSF shunt related procedure in an ethics approved site is eligible to contribute data to the Shunt Registry. There are no additional inclusion or exclusion criteria.

 

The Shunt Registry key objectives are to:

  • Enable determination of the current indications, frequency and outcomes of CSF shunt related procedures;
  • Enable measurement of CSF shunt longevity and device failure rates with benchmarking of CSF shunt component performance;
  • Enable early identification of particular CSF shunt components associated with unexpectedly high failure rates;
  • Measure the quality and safety of care to form benchmarking of outcomes between de- identified individuals and neurosurgical units in order to improve the quality of clinical care;
  • Mitigate risk by using Shunt Registry data to rebut any inaccurate information published about the safety of CSF shunts;
  • Provide an opportunity to study methods of improving the performance and outcomes of CSF shunts and their components through research projects;
  • Provide a central repository of potentially re-identifiable information to allow rapid provision of accurate information to the neurosurgeon if the need arises
  • Provide the neurosurgeon access to device information if a patient has an emergency need for neurosurgical care.

2016

The ASR will tell us about:

  • The frequency of spine surgery in our community;
  • The usefulness, safety and results of different surgical approaches and different implantable devices;
  • The factors that predict favourable and unfavourable surgical outcomes in both the short and longer term;
  • The variety of care provided for people undergoing spine surgery in our community, and how it compares to best practice internationally.

The aim of this project is to develop the pilot of a population-based spine surgery clinical registry to optimise quality of care provided to individuals undergoing spine surgery.

The study population will include any person over the age of 18 undergoing elective surgery that involves the spine. 

Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) specific to quality of life (The 3 Level EQ5D™)and pain and disability questionnaires are used (The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) for low back pain and the Neck Disability Index (NDI) for acute or chronic disability of the neck).

ANZHFR incorporates feedback via a real-time data dashboard and audit reports, which allows the data held by the Registry to be translated into meaningful reporting for clinicians, executive and local quality and safety staff. Meaningful reports can be generated onsite by registry users removing the need to request reports from the central Registry.

The ANZHFR generates participating-site annual report and an Australian State and Territory report. These are publicly available via the website and shared with clinicians, hospital executive, state/territory/national health departments and authorities, as well as consumer and clinician stakeholder groups, on release. Individual hospitals opt-in to identified reporting and in 2020, 95% of hospitals have opted-in.

2020

The Australian Dementia Network (ADNeT) Registry is a Clinical Quality Registry (CQR) (self-reported) for people diagnosed with either dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). The aims of the registry are to:

  • Collect and analyse data to monitor and enhance the quality of care and patient outcomes for people diagnosed with either dementia or MCI in Australia
  • Facilitate the recruitment of participants into research projects.

Eligible patients are identified and recruited initially from specialist services (e.g. memory clinics) and individual medical specialists (e.g. geriatricians and neurologists) involved in the diagnosis of dementia. Data is collected from four sources: participating sites, registry participants, carers, and linkage with administrative datasets. 

The ADNeT Registry has been developed and implemented to comply with the national operating principles for CQRs and is governed by the ADNeT Registry Steering Committee.

The ADNeT Registry is part of Australian Dementia Network (ADNeT), a multi-institutional, Australia-wide consortium of dementia researchers and clinicians. The network was initially funded by the Boosting Dementia Research Initiative grant from the National Health and Medical Research Council’s National Institute for Dementia Research and philanthropic organisations. ADNeT received additional funding from the Department of Health and Aged Care for fiscal years 2024 to 2025. From 1 July 2023, the ADNeT Registry is also supported by funding from the Australian Government, Department of Health and Aged Care, under the National Clinical Quality Registry Program.

ACSQHC-ARCR-258 Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Nil The Myelopathy Natural History Australian Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy Registry The MYNAH Registry

Dr Ashish D Diwan, University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, a.diwan@unsw.edu.au

2023

Degenerative cervical Myelopathy (DCM) is the commonest cause of spinal cord dysfunction worldwide. Clinical features include localised neck pain, impairment of motor functions in the upper and lower limbs, loss of bladder function that can eventually lead to paralysis and even death if treatment is not sought. Although surgical decompression of the spinal cord remains the mainstay of treatment, very few patients achieve complete recovery, and the majority of patients are left with life-long disability. Due to lack of a diagnostic criteria and many mimicking conditions, DCM is widely underdiagnosed and hence its true incidence and prevalence remains unknown.

The MYNAH (MYelopathy NAtural History) registry is a multi-centre, prospective, observational cohort study enrolling patients with Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM) across Australia. MYNAH Registry is the world's first registry to understand the natural history of DCM in a systematic manner. The purpose is to determine the natural history of DCM, to describe the influence of age, gender, smoking and BMI on outcome of DCM, to describe the demographics, comorbidities, genetic predisposition, disease severity and prognosis of DCM and to compare the outcomes between the operative and non-operative cases of DCM. Patients with a diagnosis of DCM by a spine surgeon or neurosurgeon from various participating clinical sites are included in the registry.

The outcome measures are Neck Disability Index (NDI), modified Japanese Orthopaedic Association Score (mJOA), EQ-5D-5L questionnaire and Nurick grade. Follow-up for all participants is conducted biannually, which includes completion of mJOA score, Nurick grade and clinical examination at their respective study site and completion of NDI and EQ-5D-5L questionnaires.

Transfusion Research Unit, Monash University, sphpm.transfusion@monash.edu

2014

The Haemoglobinopathy Registry collects data about patients with genetic disorders of haemoglobin (haemoglobinopathies), including thalassaemias and sickle cell disease.   Many of these patients are dependent on regular blood transfusions and the disorders can have significant personal and economic impact. Lack of data on the prevalence of haemoglobinopathies and the overall disease burden in Australia makes comparisons of interventions and audits of outcomes between centres nationally and with international centres, difficult.   The Haemoglobinopathy Registry will address this lack of data, and will provide a foundation for future research. The aims of the Haemoglobinopathy Registry are to:

  • monitor trends in incidence and survival
  • monitor access to care
  • explore variation in practice, process and outcome measures
  • explore the factors that influence outcomes including survival and quality of life
  • benchmark outcomes nationally and internationally
  • act as a resource for clinical trials
  • inform and inspire future hypothesis - driven research in this area

2004

The SBIS Registry has been established to provide a comprehensive registry of severe burn injuries treated at the three NSW Burns Units: the Children’s Hospital at Westmead, Royal North Shore Hospital and Concord Repatriation General Hospital. Burns patients represent a well defined and distinct subgroup of trauma patients in NSW. Extensive burns are associated with substantial treatment and rehabilitation costs, and many result in permanent disability, highlighting the need to monitor the incidence, management and outcomes of burn injury.

The data collected enables the registry to meet its aims of monitoring, surveillance and clinical evaluation and is critical for:

  • Improving service planning for burns patients in NSW
  • Informing the development of injury prevention campaigns and strategies
  • Developing best practice clinical guidelines and initiatives
  • Developing key clinical indicators at a state level
  • Monitoring quality and types of care provided to burns patients
  • Allowing the generation of reports used in monthly, quarterly and annual audits for the burns service.

The Australia and New Zealand Clinical Quality Registry for the Treatment of Eating Disorders (TrEAT Registry) supports clinical outcomes monitoring and reporting for people receiving eating disorders treatment. Participating services including private and public outpatient, day program, and residential eating disorder treatment centres in Australia and New Zealand. Clients at these services complete patient reported outcome measures before and throughout treatment. A feedback mechanism is employed whereby summaries of scores with norming data are sent immediately to clinicians to guide clinical decision-making. Service-wide reports are generated and benchmarked against the pooled registry data across services. Researchers use the registry to answer questions about eating disorder phenomenology and treatment. The TrEAT Registry captures clients aged 13 years and older, and all participating clients/caregivers provide informed consent for the use of their data to be included in the database for auditing and research purposes.

ACSQHC-ARCR-287 Upper limb orthopaedic conditions Musculoskeletal disorders Patient-Reported outcomes of Upper Limb Orthopaedic disorders registry PRULO

Kevin Eng, Geelong Orthopaedics, kevineng@geelongortho.com.au

2020

The PRULO registry is the clinical registry for a collaborative group of upper limb orthopaedic surgeons consulting privately out of Geelong Orthopaedics, Victoria. This registry currently collects clinical history, treatment characteristics, and functional and patient-reported outcomes from patients undergoing treatment for upper limb conditions including osteoarthritis of the shoulder, and rotator cuff tear. As the participants progress through the treatment pathway, their outcomes are assessed against pre-determined ‘failure to cure’ criteria, consisting of a combination of validated outcome measures and clinically relevant improvement thresholds (eg. minimum clinically important differences). The overall aim of the registry is to evaluate the current standard of care, and to inform evidence-based changes in clinical practice.

Sophia Zoungas, School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, sophia.zoungas@monash.edu

2019

The Australian National Diabetes Audit Longitudinal Register (ANDA–L) is a sub-study of the Australian National Diabetes Audit (ANDA) with its main focus to prospectively follow up the same cohort of patients over a 2 - 4 year period during the ANDA-AQCA (Australian Quality Clinical Audit) data collection. The data collected are clinical indicators known to have impact on the care of people with diabetes.

ANDA-L aims to:

  • Measure and report on longitudinal trends in the characteristics, type of care and major clinical outcomes (including survival) of a cohort of patients with diabetes attending diabetes services nationwide, with all data aggregated at a national level
  • Evaluate longitudinal associations between patient characteristics, quality of care and major clinical outcomes (including survival).

This allows participating centres to observe changes in clinical indicators for people with diabetes at both a group and individual level and offers a rich source of understanding of treatments, and clinical outcomes for people with diabetes. ANDA-L will provide longitudinal descriptive reporting to treating centres for quality management.

ACSQHC-ARCR-292 Cystic Fibrosis Nil The Australian Cystic Fibrosis Data Registry ACFDR

Professor Susannah Ahern, Academic Lead, Monash University,susannah.ahern@monash.edu

Phoebe Kent, Registry Coordinator, Monash University, Med-acfdregistry@monash.edu

1996

The ACFDR is a population-level clinical registry that aims to accurately characterise the demographics, changing patterns of disease and treatments, morbidity and mortality of the population of patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) over time. The registry captures all people diagnosed with CF who attend participating specialist CF treatment centres in Australia (including outreach services), which is estimated to cover over 90% of patients diagnosed with CF nationally. The ACFDR uses either opt-in consent (mainly for paediatric patients) or opt-out consent (for some adult patients) to collect baseline and longitudinal information. Information is collected annually and per hospital or clinic encounter for each patient.

The ACFDR has contributed significantly to our understanding of CF in Australia through monitoring trends in measures such as age at diagnosis, method of diagnosis, lung function and weight over time, CF-related complications and treatments, transplantation, mortality and expected age of survival.

The registry aims to improve quality of care by monitoring and benchmarking patient outcomes in individual CF centres compared to each other, and compared to their own site over time. The ACFDR is increasingly being used to monitor the impact of new therapies, and to support clinical trials. The ACFDR collaborates with international CF registries via an International CF Registries Harmonisation Committee and with the John Hopkins-led CFTR2 genetic mutation database.

Cystic Fibrosis Australia Ethics approval received
The Alfred HREC Protocol Number: HREC/16/Alfred/187

The ACFDR produces:

  • A public Annual Report
  • Site-specific annual centre trend and Centre Comparison (benchmarked) reports to participating clinicians and CF teams
  • Jurisdictional reports
  • Annual patient-facing Infographic

A project is underway that is exploring suitable PROMs for inclusion in the registry.

ACSQHC-ARCR-294 Adult and Paediatric Critical Care Adult critical care ANZICS Intensive Care Clinical Registries (includes APD, ANZPIC, CCR, ECMO & CLABSI data sets) ANZICS CORE Registries

Sue Huckson, Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society,sue.huckson@anzics.com.au

1992

The Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society (ANZICS) Centre for Outcome and Resource Evaluation (CORE) is a bi-national peer review and quality assurance program which has provided audit and analysis of the performance of Australian and New Zealand intensive care since 1992. This capability is uniquely provided by ANZICS, which offers an overview across regional, state, federal and international jurisdictions.

ANZICS CORE is made up of 5 data sets:

  • The Adult Patient Database (APD)
  • The Australian and New Zealand Paediatric Intensive Care (ANZPIC) dataset
  • The Critical Care Resources (CCR) dataset 
  • Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) dataset
  • The Central line associated bloodstream Infections (CLABSI) Registry.

Over 180 sites across Australia and New Zealand submit data regularly to the registries contributing approximately 200,000 individual patient records every year. There are over 2.5 million individual de-identified ICU patient episodes stored in the registry warehouse since 1992.

The primary outcome reported by the ANZICS registries to contributing sites is in-hospital mortality. However, the overall long-term survival outcomes of patients who leave ICU alive are unknown.

The aims of the ANZICS CORE Registry Program are:

  • Provision of comparative benchmarking reports to submitting ICUs and health departments detailing variation in process measures, quality of care indicators and risk-adjusted clinical outcomes
  • Identification and analysis of outlier ICUs
  • Provision of Data Quality training workshops to support submission of high quality data
  • Assist researchers to identify potential areas for improvement of Intensive Care practices and patient outcomes.

Transfusion Research Unit, Monash University, sphpm.transfusion@monash.edu

2009

The Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia (NAIT) Registry is a register of women who develop or have a history of NAIT, and their children, both before and after birth. The registry captures data on the presentation, treatment and clinical outcomes of this rare condition.

Individual NAIT patients require considerable support, with high diagnostic needs and high transfusion requirements, often with special products. The NAIT registry was established to address evidence gaps in the treatment, management and outcome of Australian NAIT cases, and to support hypothesis-driven research in this area.

Patients who have been diagnosed with (and/or managed as suspected) NAIT are eligible for inclusion in the registry. They may be identified by treating clinicians from participating hospitals or registry staff, or based on laboratory data provided by the Australian Red Cross Blood Service. Patients may also identify themselves to the registry. Patients are not excluded unless they choose to ‘opt-off’ the registry, as explained in the study brochure and opt-off information.

Routinely collected information in the diagnosis and treatment of NAIT is entered into a web-based data collection form. Clinical data collection is undertaken by clinicians and some laboratory data by the Blood Service. Data management and analysis is undertaken by the Monash University Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine.

ACSQHC-ARCR-321 Diabetes-related foot complications Diabetes Australian Diabetes Foot Registry ADFR

Joel Lasschuit, National Association of Diabetes Centres, joel@nadc.net.au

2020

The Australian Diabetes Foot Registry standardises data collection in High Risk Foot Services (HRFS) nationally, providing an unprecedented opportunity for audit, benchmarking, quality improvement and collaborative research. HRFS deliver specialist interdisciplinary care to people with diabetes-related foot complications, including ulceration, osteomyelitis and Charcot foot. These services are established to reduce the healthcare and individual burden of diabetes-related foot complications by coordinating care, reducing hospitalisation and improving clinical outcomes. However, prior to establishment of the ADFR, siloed and often insufficient data collection practices impeded comprehensive outcome evaluation. With introduction of a national HRFS Standards and Accreditation program by the National Association of Diabetes Centres, the need for national data collection, centralised support and infrastructure to meet quality improvement standards was recognised. The primary objective of the ADFR is to develop a standardised Australian diabetes repository for HRFS. Secondary objectives are to evaluate service and clinical outcomes, perform national benchmarking, provide reports to participating services, and establish a platform for local and collaborative research. Data is prospectively and longitudinally collected on people with diabetes and one or more active foot complications attending a participating HRFS. The project has ethics approval under the National Mutual Acceptance Scheme with an opt-out consent approach (waiver of consent in WA and NT). Data and outcome domains span participant demographics, diabetes characteristics, comorbidities, ulceration characteristics and classification, Charcot foot characteristics and classification, referral processes, telehealth utilisation, interdisciplinary involvement, offloading practices, antibiotic prescription, hospitalisations, surgical interventions including amputation, service wait times, remission and recurrence of complications, and service separation.

ACSQHC-ARCR-322 Breast device surgery Nil The Australian Breast Device Registry ABDR

Ingrid Hopper, Monash University, ingrid.hopper@monash.edu

2015

The Australian Breast Device Registry (ABDR) is a Commonwealth-funded Monash University-led health initiative and is endorsed by major surgical societies in Australia. The ABDR’s continuing mission is to improve patient outcomes by identifying and reporting on possible trends and complications associated with breast device surgery; tracking the long-term safety and performance of implantable breast devices; monitoring performance of breast devices and benchmarking the quality of surgery involving breast implants, breast tissue expanders and acellular dermal matrices; and identifying best surgical practice and optimal patient health outcome.

The ABDR collects information about breast devices using a simple data collection form (DCF) completed by surgeons at the time of surgery across the eligible sites Australia-wide. ABDR collects data related to all surgical procedures involving breast implants, breast tissue expanders and acellular dermal matrices (or similar) undertaken nationally. This include insertions, revisions of in situ devices, and explants without replacement. Information from the DCFs generates a powerful set of accurate and validated data that can be analysed and reported to individual surgeons, hospitals, the department of health and other key stakeholders.

The ABDR produces information on device failure rates, complications and revision rates of procedures involving breast devices nationally. Additional to data collected at the time of surgery and revision surgery, the ABDR asks patients brief questions about their health at 1, 2, 5 and 10 years post-surgery. This sub-study is named as Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs).

ACSQHC-ARCR-325 Trauma Trauma Victorian State Trauma Registry VSTR

Professor Belinda Gabbe, Monash University, belinda.gabbe@monash.edu

2001

The 1999 Review of Trauma and Emergency Services (ROTES) report recognised that an effective trauma system requires formal monitoring and feedback processes. It recommended a state trauma registry be established to ascertain the effectiveness of the system and to provide ongoing monitoring of major trauma patients.

The Victorian State Trauma System (VSTS) was introduced to improve the delivery of trauma care in this state. The Victorian State Trauma Registry (VSTR) has enabled monitoring and analysis of the VSTS to critically review trauma care across the state with the aim of reducing preventable deaths and permanent disability from major trauma.

2018

The South Australian Trauma Registry collects information on all cases of major trauma admitted to the Royal Adelaide Hospital, Flinders Medical Centre, Women’s and Children’s Hospital and the Lyell McEwin Hospital. The information collected includes injuries sustained, mechanism of injury, details of care received including transfer (from injury scene to a hospital and between hospitals) and patient outcome. Data is extracted from SA Ambulance Service, MedSTAR, the clinical record and hospital systems which provide medical imaging and pathology reports.

Reports from the SATR inform service providers about the quality of health care on a continuous basis in the different registry sites. The information is reported in various ways to the trauma clinical teams and is used to better understand opportunities for quality improvement. Clinical Indicator reports, published twice a year, bring together data from each of the hospital sites in addition to the production of ad hoc reports. Data from the SATR is also collated and reported (de-identified) to the Australian Trauma Quality Improvement Program led by Monash University (under an ethics agreement).

Currently no collection of any post-discharge outcome measures on trauma patients in South Australia thus the SATR does not include any Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs)

The SATR does not report on patient reported experience measures (PREMS). All patient reported experiences for SA Health are recorded via the patient feedback platform on the Safety Learning System (SLS)

All four major metropolitan hospitals in South Australia participate in contributing data to the SA Trauma Registry which includes:

  • SA’s Level 1 Adult Major Trauma Centres of the Royal Adelaide Hospital and Flinders Medical Centre
  • SA’s Level 1 Paediatric Major Trauma Centre - Women’s and Children’s Hospital

1977

The Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry (ANZDATA) is a clinical quality registry that collects and produces a wide range of statistics relating to the outcomes of treatment of those with end stage kidney disease (ESKD).  ANZDATA has been in operation since 1977 (but contains data from precursor registries dating back to 1963).  All renal units in Australia and New Zealand contribute data to ANZDATA.

The Registry’s fundamental purpose is to report on the incidence, prevalence and outcomes of dialysis and transplant treatment for patients with ESKD, by providing information that is complete, accurate, clear, relevant, readily available and timely.

Data from the Registry is regularly used to inform clinical practice, monitor quality of clinical care, plan health services, and conduct research projects.

Jasmine Pyyvaara, Project Manager, National Cardiac Registry, Monash University, info@nationalcardiacregistry.org.au

2019

The National Cardiac Registry (NCR) is a clinical quality registry that collects information on patients receiving treatment for cardiac conditions via state/territory-based cardiac registries. The purpose of the NCR is to document outcome variance and opportunities for excellence in the quality of cardiac health care across Australia. In 2021 data collection commenced across number of state/territories and as it matures the following objectives will be realised.

Objectives:

  1. Use a collaborative, federated model for effective engagement, participation and support from stakeholders
  2. Provide a platform to receive State and Territory data and measure performance as determined by agreed quality indicators
  3. Transparently report on clinical, procedural and patient outcomes to clinicians, hospitals, government and community
  4. Provide national benchmarking of key quality performance measures for cardiac conditions/procedures/devices and secondary prevention

The NCR will be rolled out in modules, each covering different areas of cardiac healthcare. The first module covers Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

The quality indicators for PCI are:

  1. Time from diagnostic electrocardiogram to PCI mediated reperfusion
  2. Time from door to PCI mediated reperfusion
  3. Peri-PCI stroke
  4. In hospital major bleeding
  5. In hospital mortality
  6. 30-day unplanned cardiac readmission rate after PCI
  7. Unplanned revascularisation within 30 days
  8. 30-day mortality after PCI
  9. Patients without contraindication discharged on lipid-lowering therapy
  10. Patients referred to cardiac rehabilitation or other secondary prevention program
  11. Proportion of patients without a clear and documented contraindication for Aspirin and/or a P2Y12 inhibitor, discharged on DAPT

ACSQHC-ARCR-353 Infertility and its treatment Nil Australian and New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database ANZARD

Jade Newman, National Perinatal Epidemiology and Statistics Unit, University of New South Wales, jade.newman@unsw.edu.au

2002

The Australia and New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database (ANZARD) is a Clinical Quality Registry (self-reported) comprising information on all assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment cycles and donor insemination cycles undertaken in Australian and New Zealand fertility clinics. Over 90 fertility clinics submit data to the National Perinatal Epidemiology and Statistics Unit (NPESU) each year as part of their licensing requirements under the Reproductive technology Accreditation Committee (RTAC) Code of Practice. ANZARD includes information on in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles, including intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles using fresh and cryopreserved (frozen) embryos, and laboratory techniques such as preimplantation genetic testing and extended embryo culture.

Demographic details on female and male patients, include age and infertility diagnosis and duration, parity, intending parent status etc. Treatment details include details of the ART cycles performed and treatment, pregnancy and birth outcomes.  The purpose of the ANZARD collection is to inform patients, the medical community and governments about ART treatments performed in Australia and New Zealand. An ANZARD annual report is published each year as part of the Annual Report Series available on the NPESU website. Annual reports cover treatment practices, success rates and perinatal outcomes for all ART treatments performed in one calendar, along with an analysis of recent trends. ANZARD is also used to benchmark the performance of clinics nationally, and provides a rich source of data for undertaking research and informing public policy.

ANZARD data is used to populate the YourIVFSuccess website (www.yourivfsuccess.com.au), a consumer facing website of IVF success rates of Australian IVF clinics and individualised patient estimates.

ACSQHC-ARCR-355 Trauma Trauma WA State Trauma Registry Nil

Lola Sikora, Trauma Program Manager, Royal Perth Hospital, lola.sikora@health.wa.gov.au

1994

The WA State Trauma Registry at Royal Perth Hospital (RPH) has been collecting data on trauma patients since August 1994 and the database now contains more than 110,000 trauma admissions. For the purposes of the Registry, trauma is defined as “an injury or wound resulting from an external force” (Miller and Keane, 1983).

The criteria for inclusion into the registry are:

  • All trauma patients who present to RPH for treatment within 7 days of their date of trauma and who were hospitalised for greater than 24 hours at RPH.
  • All trauma-related deaths at RPH regardless of hospital length of stay.
  • Patients who have suffered the effects of poisoning and drug overdose are excluded from the registry.

The Registry population is divided into major and minor trauma admissions according to the Injury Severity Score (ISS). Major trauma admissions are those patients who have an ISS of greater than 15.  An extensive dataset is collected on these patients, from the time of trauma to discharge from RPH, including pre RPH treatment.

Minor trauma admissions are those patients who meet the registry inclusion criteria and have an ISS of less than 16.  A limited dataset is collected on these patients.

From January 2017, a moderate dataset on patients with an ISS >12 and <16 is now collected, in order to meet the reporting requirements of the Australian Trauma Registry.

ACSQHC-ARCR-373 Renal Cell Carcinoma treated with Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) Nil International Radiosurgery Oncology Consortium for Kidney Prospective Registry IROCK Registry

Associate Professor Shankar Siva, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, shankar.siva@petermac.org

Although surgery is the standard of care for primary renal cell carcinoma (RCC), many patients in this population have comorbidities that may preclude them from having the necessary procedure.

The International Radiosurgery Oncology Consortium for Kidney (IROCK) will collect high quality, prospective data from patients who undergo stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for primary RCC. The primary purpose of the IROCK registry is to evaluate oncological outcomes after delivery of SABR to primary kidney cancer. This will assist oncologists and future patients make evidence-based decisions about treatment options. Findings may also change the standard of care of patients for patients with RCC. The IROCK registry collects information about patient characteristics and medical history; clinical data relating to cancer diagnosis and staging; renal score and function; details of the SABR treatment administered; organ at risk and toxicity information; patterns of failure data and documentation of endpoints. Follow-up data is collected every 6 months after SABR.

The registry will also document novel combinations of systemic targeted agents and/or immunotherapies to establish their ability to enhance the effectiveness of the SABR technique. Given the projected increase in RCC globally, a better understanding of treatment options is pressing. The potential of SABR as a suitable treatment option for RCC in several patient cohorts therefore warrants further research, making the collection of data via a high quality, international, prospective registry essential.

Alberta Hoi, Monash University, Alberta.hoi@monash.edu

2015

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a heterogeneous, systemic, autoimmune condition, typically associated with autoimmunity to nuclear antigens. The predominant population affected are women of child-bearing potential, though children, older females and males are also affected. SLE patients  experience increased morbidity and mortality due to their disease and the side effects of available treatment options including corticosteroids and immunosuppressive treatments.

The Australian Lupus Registry and Biobank (ALRB) is a disease registry and decentralised biobank that aims to provide a platform for lupus specialists and researchers to collaborate in the collection of clinical data and tissue from SLE patients in Australia and carry out associated studies to further understand the pathogenesis and impact of SLE, including studies assessing health outcomes and quality of care.

The comprehensive data collection includes baseline information on patient demographics, serology, SLE classification criteria and comorbidites; routine disease monitoring information including medications, medical test results and SLE disease activity; and, annual monitoring of outcomes including medical events of interest, damage accrual and health-related quality of life.

Biospecimens collected include whole blood for DNA extraction, Paxgene-stabilised whole blood for RNA analyses and serum samples for protein expression studies. Fresh blood collections of up to 60 mL of blood at any one time point are also possible for ethically-approved studies.

The Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Outcomes Registry was initially funded as a pilot project by the Victorian Trauma Foundation in 2003. It first started as a collaborative project between The Alfred, Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Department of Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine at Monash University. The registry was expanded to include the Geelong Hospital and the Northern Hospital in 2007. It operates as a sentinel site registry and is a comprehensive and robust monitoring system for orthopaedic trauma in Victoria. The overarching aims of the Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Registry are to:

  1. Monitor orthopaedic injury management, treatment, approaches and outcomes
  2. Identify variations in orthopaedic clinical practice
  3. Identify specific injuries, procedures and patient populations at risk of poor outcomes
  4. Monitor the use of orthopaedic implants and their outcomes

Transfusion Research Unit, Monash University, sphpm.transfusion@monash.eduaar@monash.edu

2012

The Aplastic Anaemia Registry was established in 2012, through a collaboration between the Transfusion Research Unit in Monash University’s School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine and partner hospitals, clinicians and patients.

Registry operations are overseen by a multidisciplinary national steering committee and is supported by the Maddie Riewoldt’s Vision Foundation.

The Aplastic Anaemia and Other Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes Registry is a clinical quality registry (self-reported) collecting health information on adult and paediatric patients diagnosed with a bone marrow failure syndrome. Data collection is performed at baseline following diagnosis at 6-months and then annually and collects information on the following:

  • Health at diagnosis, patient demographics, co-morbidities and performance status
  • Clinical presentation and disease characteristics (disease type, severity and laboratory diagnostic data)
  • Therapy decisions, (drug/dose of treatment, number of lines of therapy, reasons for alteration or discontinuation)
  • Outcomes (such as complications of disease and therapies and survival).

There are currently 40 Australian hospitals participating in the registry with over 360 participants registered since the first patient data was entered in 2013. The registry provides research infrastructure for the DIAAMOND clinical trial, IBMDx study and the Australian Marrow Failure Biobank.

Heather Day, Clinical Registry Manager, Queensland University of Technology, pcorqld@qut.edu.au

2016

PCOR-QLD focuses on describing patterns of care following a diagnosis of prostate cancer, monitoring quality of delivered care and whether it is in line with evidence-based guidelines. Population captured: PCOR-QLD is a population-based registry currently capturing 85 percent of all newly diagnosed cases of prostate cancer in Queensland. Outcomes measured: positive margin rate post prostatectomy, documentation of clinical stage, PSA recorded pre-diagnosis, post prostatectomy and 12 months post treatment, advanced disease and appropriate use of active surveillance, patient-reported quality of life measurements at 12 months post treatment or diagnosis (if no treatment has occurred).

Notifications of prostate cancer are obtained from the Queensland Cancer Register for participating institutions and clinicians. Data is collected from public hospital medical records and private clinician's medical records. Data is collected by using a secure web-based portal. Data is collated and bench-marking reports are sent out every six months to participating institutions and clinicians.

ACSQHC-ARCR-403 Radiation Treatment Cancer Australian Particle Therapy Clinical Quality Registry ASPIRE

Kelly Skelton, The Australian Bragg Centre for Proton Therapy and Research, kelly.skelton@sahmri.com

2022

The Australian Particle Therapy Clinical Quality Registry (ASPIRE) was initiated to collect participant data to describe the patterns of care for patients receiving conventional Xray therapy (Photon) versus Proton Beam therapy (PBT) as part of ongoing government funding of PBT. Current Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) items exist for some paediatric, adolescent and rare adult tumours to be treated with PBT. A lack of evidence reporting the long-term side effects of photon versus PBT means there is a recognised disparity in equity of access to PBT for other tumour types. The ASPIRE registry is a prospective, observational, longitudinal study of paediatric, adolescent, young adult (AYA) and rare adult tumour patients from a select group of tumour streams treated with radiotherapy, being those that are in the MBS approved list. The primary objective of the registry is to describe the long-term effects and disease control outcomes with a specific focus on side effects patients experience from their radiation treatment and the economic savings by improving radiotherapy side effects.

ACSQHC-ARCR-416 Neonatology Neonatal critical care Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network ANZNN

Sharon Chow, University of New South Wales Sydney, anznn@unsw.edu.au

1995

The Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network (ANZNN) is a collaborative network that monitors the care of high risk newborn infants by pooling data to provide quality assurance for this resource consuming care. The Network was established in 1994 under the recommendation of the National Health and Medical Research Council's (NHMRC) Expert Panel on Perinatal Morbidity.

Since its establishment the Network has developed a minimum data set and implemented a data collection that monitors the mortality and morbidity of infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units across Australia and New Zealand.

Every neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in the two countries has been contributing data since inception. Today, participation extends to every special care unit in New Zealand, and an increasing number of Australian special care units.

Every year, over 12,000 newborns are admitted to a participating neonatal unit in Australia and New Zealand and meet one or more of the following ANZNN registration criteria:

  • Born at less than 32 weeks gestation, or
  • Weighed less than 1,500 grams at birth, or
  • Received assisted ventilation including intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) or continuous positive airways pressure (CPAP) or high flow nasal cannulae for four or more consecutive hours, or died while receiving mechanical ventilation prior to four hours of age, or
  • Received major surgery (surgery that involved opening a body cavity), or
  • Received therapeutic hypothermia.

2011

Despite recent improvements in diagnosis and treatment, prognosis for lung cancer remains poor, with a 5-year survival of just 17% and it continues to be the biggest contributor to Australia’s overall cancer burden, as calculated by disability-adjusted life years. The Victorian Lung Cancer Registry (VLCR) is a CQR that captures real-world data for approximately 85% of all patients newly diagnosed with lung cancer in Victoria. The VLCR has continued to expand over the past 8 years and in 2019, the VLCR will collect clinical data care from diverse institutions including public metropolitan hospitals (n=27), private metropolitan hospitals (n=16), public regional hospitals (n=9) and private regional hospitals (n=8).

Purpose: The VLCR aims to identify and reduce unwarranted variation in lung cancer care and to drive continued improvement in the quality of care provided to patients. This registry provides bench-marked risk-adjusted reports to participating sites, reflecting site performance against clinical quality indicators reflecting agreed best practice.  Key to the success of the VLCR is the peer reviewed bench-marked data, which is used to motivate change in both institutional and clinical practice.

Population: The VLCR includes all subjects with newly diagnosed Non Small Cell and Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Outcomes:  the VLCR provides 22 measures including time to first treatment, mortality after treatment (surgery and chemotherapy), presentation at multi-disciplinary meetings (MDMs), use of supportive care measures (supportive care screening) and referral to palliative care.

ACSQHC-ARCR-435 Cardiology, screening Cardiac Australasian Registry of Electrocardiograms in National Athletes ARENA

Dr Jessica Orchard, The University of Sydney, jessica.orchard@sydney.edu.au

2023

The Australasian Registry of Electrocardiograms in National Athletes (ARENA) is a clinical quality registry (self-reported). ARENA collects cardiac screening data for athletes over the age of 16 years, including ECGs and results of other cardiac tests from sporting organisations in Australia and New Zealand. It is led by researchers at the University of Sydney, in collaboration with other national and international experts, and based at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) Registry Centre. ARENA was launched in 2023, initially in Australia, with New Zealand to follow as funding allows. All sporting organisations conducting cardiac screening of athletes (including ECG) are eligible to provide data. Outcomes and diagnoses will be monitored regularly. 

ARENA will provide a long-term international data repository to improve our understanding of ECG interpretation, cardiac screening and diagnoses, and the rates of major cardiac events in screened athletes. A unique aim is to address important evidence gaps in under-represented athlete groups, specifically female athletes and Indigenous populations. Results will inform policy and guidelines. The overall aim is to improve the quality of their cardiac screening programs and provide better cardiac care for young athletes.

ACSQHC-ARCR-436 Surgical Mortality Nil Australia and New Zealand Audit of Surgical Mortality ANZASM

Helena Kopunic, Royal Australasian College of Surgeons, ANZASM.RACS@surgeons.org

2001

The Australian and New Zealand Audit of Surgical Mortality (ANZASM) is a group of regionally based surgical patient mortality audits identified as ACTASM (Australian Capital Territory), CHASM (NSW), NTASM (Northern Territory), QASM (Queensland), SAASM (South Australia), TASM (Tasmania), VASM (Victoria) and WAASM (Western Australia). The ANZASM is managed by the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons (RACS). Each of the regionally based audits is under the governance of the ANZASM, with the exception of the Collaborating Hospitals Audit of Surgical Mortality (NSW) which is managed by the NSW Clinical Excellence Commission and co-governed in collaboration with RACS.

The ANZASM provides an independent peer-review mechanisms for surgeons, anaesthetists, gynaecologists, radiologists, ophthalmologists and oral and maxillofacial surgeons relating to patient deaths occurring in a hospital where: (a) the patient was under the care of a surgeon (surgical admissions), whether or not an operation was performed; or (b) the patient was under the care of a physician (medical and non- surgical admission) and there was surgical intervention. The ANZASM includes, but is not limited to: (a) notification of death by surgeon, anaesthetist, gynaecologist, radiologist, ophthalmologist, oral and maxillofacial surgeon, hospital or health system; (b) completion and review of relevant case form; (c) report to treating surgeon, anaesthetist, gynaecologist, radiologist, ophthalmologist, or oral and maxillofacial surgeon by assessing surgeon; (d) public reporting on aggregated data; (e) strategic and national review by the ANZASM Steering Committee; and (f) the making of recommendations and monitoring of the implementation of those recommendations.

ACSQHC-ARCR-438 Multiple myeloma and related diseases High burden cancers Myeloma and related Diseases Registry MRDR

Transfusion Research Unit, Monash University, sphpm-myeloma@monash.edu

2012

This prospective clinical quality registry aims to improve myeloma outcomes by providing an evidence-base for the best strategies to diagnose, treat and support people with myeloma and related diseases. It is a registry of newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma, MGUS, plasma cell leukaemia or plasmacytoma. It collects information on demographics, diagnosis, treatment, response to therapy and outcomes including survival, progression free survival and quality of life.

The aims of the Myeloma & Related Diseases Registry are to:

  • Monitor access to care
  • Benchmark outcomes nationally and internationally
  • Explore variation in practice, process and outcome measures
  • Monitor trends in incidence and survival
  • Explore the factors that influence outcomes including survival and quality of life
  • Act as a resource for clinical trials

The MRDR has an industry-funded "sister registry", the Asia-Pacific MRDR (APAC MRDR), with the same aims and  purpose. The APAC-MRDR collects data that mirrors the ANZ registry from Korea, Singapore, and Malaysia with other countries to follow.

ACSQHC-ARCR-439 Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest Ischemic heart disease Victorian Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry VACAR

Ashanti Dantanarayana, Ambulance Victoria, Ashanti.Dantanarayana@ambulance.vic.gov.au

Dr Ziad Nehme, Ambulance Victoria, ziad.nehme@ambulance.vic.gov.au

 

1999

The VACAR is a clinical quality registry of all out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) events in Victoria. The registry captures a comprehensive ‘roadside to recovery’ perspective of the OHCA patient, capturing over 150 data elements across the prehospital, hospital, and recovery journey. It is used extensively to improve systems-of-care for OHCA patients in Victoria and has been recognised internationally for its contribution to the evidence-base in resuscitation science.

Registry data is collected from Triple Zero calls, Communication Centre dispatch records, Emergency Medical Services (EMS) patient care records, real-time CPR quality data from defibrillators, hospital medical records and from telephone interview of adult survivors at 12 months post-arrest. Hospital outcome data is supplemented by death records from the Victorian Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages. The registry also collects information relating to the causes of death for OHCA patients from the National Coronial Information System (NCIS). Data for all OHCA patients attended by AV has been captured for over 120,000 patients since 1999. Data is collated in the registry based on an internationally agreed template for resuscitation registries (Utstein template).

VACAR provides information for the assessment and benchmarking of EMS performance in relation to the treatment and outcomes of OHCA patients. In particular, a number of key performance indicators (KPIs) have been implemented, which are designed to measure the quality and safety of care. KPIs include ambulance response times, rate of successful defibrillation, CPR quality metrics (various), prehospital return of spontaneous circulation, event survival and survival to hospital discharge.

ACSQHC-ARCR-447 Patients with cardiac arrest, acute cardiac failure or acute respiratory failure requiring extracorporeal membrane oxygenation Adult critical care Australian and New Zealand extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) registry EXCEL

Carol Hodgson, Monash University, carol.hodgson@monash.edu

2019

The use of ECMO is associated with significant costs and risks, and it requires specialist training and expertise. In order to better prepare for the organisation of these complex interventions in the ICU across regions, we need to have accurate data on patients undergoing ECMO. 

The EXCEL registry represents a novel, coordinated effort to create a high-quality, detailed, prospective registry of patients requiring ECMO at Australian ECMO centres. EXCEL includes data on ECMO retrieval, imitation, patient selection, device, cannula and person cannulating, daily data for 7 days, complications, costs and PROMs (HRQoL, disability, return to work, cognitive function) at 6 and 12 months. Additionally we have 4 embedded clinical trials. 

EXCEL can be used to address specific safety concerns, clinical questions and process of care issues. As a result, EXCEL can be designed and implemented to answer new investigator-initiated, hypothesis-driven clinical questions. We currently have 4 embedded clinical trials.

2007

Scleroderma is a multisystem disease of unknown aetiology which has the highest disease-related morbidity and mortality of the autoimmune rheumatic diseases. The Australian Scleroderma Interest Group (ASIG) is a national collaboration of rheumatologists, with a special interest in improving the outcomes of patients with scleroderma.

ASIG established the ASCS, a longitudinal observational cohort that provides a framework for clinical and laboratory research enabling collaborations with other Australian researchers and internationally.

The primary objective of the ASCS is to enhance clinical care by increasing the rate of screening for scleroderma-related cardiopulmonary complications to allow earlier identification of patients at high risk, and institution of timely treatment. Other objectives include:

  • Contribution to research into predisposing factors for serious complications
  • National data linkage to quantify burden of disease and disease outcomes
  • Contribution to an understanding of the most effective treatments
  • Foster research in systemic sclerosis among early career rheumatologists and advanced trainee

ACSQHC-ARCR-454 Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) Ischaemic Heart Disease NSW Ambulance Cardiac Arrest Registry Nil

Nicole Packham, NSW Ambulance, nicole.packham@health.nsw.gov.au

2017

The Registry includes all patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) who were attended by NSW Ambulance clinicians since 1 January 2017. The data collected from clinical and operational records describe the pre-hospital links in the cardiac arrest 'chain of survival' (the series of steps that gives patients the best chance of surviving an OHCA).  Record linkage with the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages provides data on survival and interviews with survivors at 12 examine quality of life.

The key data fields are based on the Utstein template, which was developed to promote uniform presentation of OHCA survival data across different regions of the world. The outcomes measured are survival to hospital; survival at 30 days and quality of life at 12 months post arrest.

Key aims include: to improve service-level performance and patient safety by enhancing the quality, accessibility and timing of the information that is available to clinical decision-makers; to support research that may inform OHCA guidelines; to measure the long-term impact of OHCA on patients’ quality-of-life and functional capacity and to participate in the Australian Resuscitation Outcomes Consortium (Aus-ROC). Au-ROC is an epistry (epidemiological registry) that combines and compares data from OHCA registries in Australia and New Zealand to increase the understanding of the intra-regional, ambulance service and treatment factors that are associated with improved OHCA survival and outcomes.

ACSQHC-ARCR-461 Colorectal Cancer High burden cancers Bowel Cancer Outcomes Registry BCOR

Hayat Dagher, Colorectal Surgical Society of Australia and New Zealand, contact@bowelcanceraudit.com

2007

The Bowel Cancer Outcomes Registry (BCOR) is a Clinical Quality Registry established by the Colorectal Surgical Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSSANZ). It was started as a clinical audit and is a surgeon-led surgical audit applicable to all surgeons who perform colorectal cancer surgery.

The BCOR is governed by a collaboration of invested parties (CSSANZ, RACS, NZAGS, GSA, and consumers) and contains over 43,000 treatment episodes.

BCOR data is used for clinical audit of the surgical practices of Australian and New Zealand surgeons for the purpose of quality assurance. The audit also works towards creating a large dataset containing Australian and New Zealand data that can be used for research and quality improvement purposes, with the aim of advancing knowledge and understanding of treatment for colorectal cancer. By creating this dataset BCOR will be able to identify areas pertinent to patient safety, identify benchmarks and identify sites that may be performing outside the common bounds of the larger group.

Patients 18 years or older undergoing resection or treatment for colorectal cancer are recruited by surgeons at participating public and/or private hospitals in each Australian Jurisdiction and New Zealand via an opt out consent approach.

BCOR collects information on patient and tumour characteristics, colorectal cancer management, complications of treatment, and clinical quality indicators relating to quality of surgical and hospital care.

ACSQHC-ARCR-467 Diabetes Diabetes Australasian Diabetes Data Network ADDN

Meng Tuck Mok, Australasian Diabetes Data Network, info@addn.org.au

2012

The Australasian Diabetes Data Network (ADDN) is a prospective, longitudinal diabetes registry collecting clinical data from people living with diabetes when they attend paediatric and adult diabetes centres. A primary of goal of ADDN is to undertake benchmarking to compare diabetes health outcomes across diabetes centres in Australasia. Benchmarking reports provided to all participating diabetes centres enable critical analysis of their data integrity, which can then be used to identify gaps in their organisation’s processes and enables sharing or standardisation of best practice. The dataset can therefore further our understanding of the influence of different management practices and therapies for diabetes, and the clinical and demographic predictors of clinical outcomes. The core data, collected routinely at clinic visits, include demographic characteristics, body mass index, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c), blood pressure, lipids, diabetic ketoacidosis, hypoglycaemia, insulin therapy (injections or pumps), use of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), diabetes complications and co-morbidities. ADDN also follows young people as they transition from paediatric services into adult care and therefore can describe the longitudinal trajectory of type 1 diabetes across the lifespan.

Ashley Fletcher, Project Manager, ashley.fletcher@monash.edu

2003

The Australian Rheumatology Association Database (ARAD) was established as a national arthritis database to provide valid and reliable longitudinal clinical data of people with inflammatory arthritis in Australia, with the ultimate aim of providing better care and improving outcomes for patients. It became operational in August 2003.

The aims of ARAD are to establish a specific cohort of Australian patients with inflammatory arthritis receiving anti-tumour necrosis factor (TNF) and other biological disease modifying anti-rheumatic drug (bDMARD) therapies together with a group of patients not receiving bDMARDs to determine long-term safety and effectiveness of the biological therapies.

ARAD provides reports of patient outcomes to participating rheumatologists with a comparison of grouped de-identified data from other rheumatologists. ARAD also reports on treatment side effects and reasons for stopping or changing therapy.

Patient demographic and clinical measures including medication history, adverse events, medical illnesses, malignancy and infections, hospitalisation.

ACSQHC-ARCR-483 Gynaecological Malignancies High burden cancers The National Gynae-Oncology Registry NGOR

Registry Manager, Monash University sharnel.perera@monash.edu

2017

The National Gynae-Oncology Registry (NGOR) is a multi-modular clinical quality registry (self-reported) which aims to record diagnostic, treatment and outcome data of patients with newly diagnosed gynaecological cancers. This information is used to monitor and minimise variation in care, improve patient outcomes, and identify trends and potential gaps in service provision. The NGOR was developed by a group of likeminded clinicians in collaboration with the Cancer Research Program in Monash University’s School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine in 2017. The NGOR finalised a list of quality indicators for endometrial cancer module, which was piloted in Victoria and Tasmania. The registry is in the process of developing quality indicators for additional registry modules covering cancers of the endometrium, cervix, vulva and vagina.

The Ovarian Cancer Registry (OvCR), a sub-registry of the NGOR, has two active modules for ovarian, tubal and peritoneal cancer, and rare ovarian tumours. A Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) pilot began at the end of 2022, which aims to test the feasibility and acceptability of a bespoke patient reported outcome (PRO) and patient reported experience (PRE) tool developed through clinical and consumer consultation.

The NGOR is endorsed by the Australian Society of Gynaecologic Oncologists (ASGO), >40 gynaecologic oncologists and medical oncologists specialising in gynaecological cancers, and the patient advocacy group Ovarian Cancer Australia. Data are collected primarily from pre-existing clinical unit databases from major gynaecologic cancer treatment centres and private practices. There are a number of private and public health services participating across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, Tasmania, Western Australia, Queensland with sites to be added in the Australian Capital Territory in the short-term.

The NGOR operates under an opt-out model of recruitment and is governed by a committee of clinical experts, registry experts, a consumer representative, Ovarian Cancer Australia representatives and more.

Joanne Dean, Monash University, apfpr@monash.edu 

2019

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.

ACSQHC-ARCR-502 Transfusion Medicine Nil National Transfusion Dataset NTD

Tina van Tonder, Transfusion Research Unit, Monash University, sphpm.ntd@monash.edu

2021

The National Transfusion Dataset (NTD) will form the first integrated national database of blood usage in Australia. The NTD aims to collect information about where, when, and how blood products are used across all clinical settings. This will address Australia’s absence of an integrated national database to record blood usage with the ability to link with clinical outcomes. The dataset is an invaluable resource towards a comprehensive understanding of how and why blood products are used, numbers and characteristics of patients transfused in health services, the clinical outcomes after transfusion; and provides support to policy development and research.               

The NTD was formed through the incorporation of the established Australian and New Zealand Massive Transfusion Registry (ANZ-MTR) and a pilot Transfusion Database (TD) project. The ANZ-MTR has a unique focus on massive transfusion (MT) and contains over 10,000 cases from 41 hospitals across Australia and New Zealand spanning 2011-2018. The TD was a trial extension of the registry that collated data on ALL (not just massive) transfusions on >8000 patients from pilot hospitals. The NTD integrates and expands these databases to provide new data on transfusion practice, using novel approaches to collect data on clinical outcomes. The NTD will link datasets of blood utilisation including prehospital, clinical and registry, with the aim of closing the vital haemovigilance loop. The population captured include all patients (≥18 years old) transfused any type of blood product, and all blood donors (≥18 years old), at participating health services or organisations, from 2017 onward.

ACSQHC-ARCR-66 ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction Cardiac Victorian Ambulance STEMI Quality Initiative VASQI

Ashanti Dantanarayana, Ambulance Victoria, Ashanti.Dantanarayana@ambulance.vic.gov.au

2019

Purpose: Ambulance Victoria (AV) is the state-wide emergency medical service for almost 6.6 million Victorian residents. Historically paramedic collected electronic patient care records are uploaded and stored in the AV clinical data warehouse and data are used to report on clinical quality improvement and audit, operational improvement, and for research and evaluation. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) represents an important cohort needing additional time-critical monitoring, assessment and management to ensure optimal patient outcomes. AV has established the Victorian Ambulance STEMI Quality Initiative (VASQI) for this purpose.

Aims: AV STEMI management has grown in complexity in recent years, including the service-wide rollout of pre-hospital 12-lead ECG, administration of aspirin and heparin, and pre-hospital thrombolysis in selected rural/remote patients. Assessing the quality and safety of these complex interventions is vital and it is the aim of VASQI to undertake these assessments, monitor safety and progress, provide vital feedback to the paramedic workforce and measure patient outcomes.

Population: Eligible patients are those attended by AV and treated for a paramedic suspected STEMI.

Outcomes: Monitor the quality and safety of treatment and procedures performed by paramedics on patients presenting with cardiovascular symptoms consistent with STEMI. This includes linkage with hospital treatment and outcome data which will form part of a feedback circle to assess accuracy of diagnosis.

2016

The Australasian Interstitial Lung Disease Registry (AILDR) recruits patients with all ILD subtypes, reflecting real world practice at clinics across Australia and New Zealand with dual objectives:

  • To provide a valuable resource for high quality ILD research
  • To improve care for ILD patients across Australia and New Zealand.

The AILDR was established in response to growing calls for a national clinical registry to better understand Interstitial Lung Disease patterns, standardise care and provide relevant longitudinal data. Commencing with four pilot sites in 2016, there are now 23 sites participating across Australia and New Zealand with more than 3000 participants recruited and followed-up regularly every 6 months.

Inclusion criteria for participants includes age 18 years of age, ability to provide written informed consent, and diagnosis of ILD according to American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society (ATS/ERS) criteria. The core data recorded on the registry includes: - Basic demographic data - Clinical data - Medications - Oxygen use - Pulmonary function tests - Other Investigations.

The AEPCC CQR (self-reported) aims to improve the quality of early psychosis care by monitoring the quality of early psychosis treatment within Australia. Using data collected in the registry we will identify areas for improvement and investigate the impact of changes in practice on the short-, mid- and long-term outcomes for young people receiving care for early psychosis. The CQR will include participants who are patients of an early psychosis service that have agreed to participate in the AEPCC CQR; and 1) have been identified as early or emerging psychosis either: being at risk of developing a first episode of psychosis or 2) are experiencing a first episode of psychosis (FEP) as determined through relevant clinical assessment. Outcomes include: Duration of untreated psychosis, change in symptoms (BPRS) (including if transitioned to FEP), change in functioning (SOFAS), recovery and quality of life (ReQoL), hospitalisations related to early psychosis diagnosis, medications prescribed, physical health, return to or remaining in education/employment.

Fraser Brims, Curtin University, fraser.brims@curtin.edu.au;lucap@curtin.edu.au

2022

LUCAP is a clinical quality registry (self-reported) for lung cancer care in Australia. The platform enables the performance of continuous audit cycles against endorsed key clinical quality indicators (CQI) of care to identify where significant improvements can be made to deliver consistent, world-class care. The type of information LUCAP collects includes: 

  • how quickly people get tests
  • what sort of tests are performed
  • how quickly people get treatments. 

Ultimately, LUCAP aims to improve the quality of care and outcomes for lung cancer patients in Australia by developing a culture of accountability and responsibility in institutions that treat lung cancer in Australia. 

The key objectives of LUCAP are to: 

  • Implement a standardised and high quality data collection process across all jurisdictions in Australia
  • Enable the generation of risk-adjusted reports on the quality of lung cancer care across Australia for consumers, healthcare providers and researchers, and provide close-to real time dashboards to facilitate clinical and quality improvement initiatives
  • Enable the generation of high-quality research data for observational and/or registry-based studies, facilitating and enhancing novel research and new treatment approaches for lung cancer patients. 

LUCAP is currently being implemented in the hospitals listed below, with the intention to expand to all hospitals across Australia (and New Zealand) in the future. LUCAP is supported by Cancer Australia and the peak lung health body the Lung Foundation Australia (LFA). The LUCAP Protocol is endorsed by the Thoracic Society of Australia and New Zealand (TSANZ).

2020

The objective of the registry is to provide a platform for participating sites to enter data to measure post-operative quality of recovery after a surgical procedure. These data will be used to answer multiple research questions in the future, as well as to provide benchmarking data for recovery for specific operations. Specific research questions that will utilise the registry data will require separate HREC approval. The primary outcome measure tool is the Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale (PostopQRS).

Melbourne Health Ethics reference: 2020.07, Melbourne Health Human Research Ethics Committee
  • Feedback to contributing clinicians
  • Shared with other clinicians
  • Shared with medical colleges

The Postoperative Quality of Recovery Scale (PostopQRS) is a survey to measure recovery from the patient's perspective. It is initially performed before surgery to measure the patient's baseline condition, and then recovery is measured at multiple time points after surgery and compared to their pre-surgery baseline. In simple terms, recovery occurs when the patient has returned to their baseline condition or better. The scale is multidimensional, capturing recovery in domains such as physiological, emotional, cognitive (brain function), pain and nausea and their ability to perform activities of daily living.

2005

A collaborative project conducted to improve patient outcomes and foster and grow high quality research by the establishment and maintenance of a prospective database of cardiac surgical procedures performed in centres throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Vision: Empower all cardiac surgery team members to improve the understanding and practice of cardiopulmonary bypass to improve cardiac surgical patient outcomes.

Mission: Maintain and develop the Australian and New Zealand Collaborative Perfusion Registry for cardiac surgical procedures performed throughout Australia and New Zealand. Promote the reporting and understanding of the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass on patient outcomes through encouraging evidence based practices, quality assurance, quality improvement and research.

Aims:

  1. Cultivate and grow a non-identifiable data source to be known as the Australian and New Zealand Collaborative Perfusion Registry (ANZCPR)
  2. Encourage adoption of evidence based practices through the collection and reporting of data relevant to the practice of cardiopulmonary bypass
  3. Empower cardiac surgical team members through the utilisation of the data to understand clinical practice, provide a foundation for research, and to facilitate quality improvement and benchmarking.

Objectives: ANZCPR aims to empower cardiac surgical team members through the collection and reporting of data relevant to the practice of cardiopulmonary bypass. This will be achieved through the maintenance of a prospective data set on cardiac surgical procedures performed in multiple sites throughout Australia and New Zealand and through the collaborative network of perfusion and interested researchers, who share the commitment to cooperation and collaboration in the pursuit of excellence in perfusion.
