| Purpose / Aims: |
The Australasian Pelvic Floor Procedure Registry (APFPR) is a clinician-led national clinical quality registry. It is currently under development and will measure and report on surgical and patient reported outcomes related to procedures involving stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ
prolapse (POP). The APFPR will be rolled out in a modular format, with modules for SUI and POP involving mesh/prostheses being developed and piloted over the next 2 years, from mid-2020. These modules will particularly focus on device safety, complications, revisions and explantations. |
| Population Captured: | All patients undergoing relevant pelvic floor procedures for SUI or POP at contributing hospitals in Australia. |
| Outcomes Collected: | The APFPR will collect outcomes relating to SUI/POP diagnosis, comorbidities, surgery, and complications including revision and mesh removal details. Additional data items will be collected for risk adjustment. |
| Year Established: | 2019 |
| Jurisdictions Participating: | Registry is in development and has not commenced data collection. |
