We are pleased to announce the publication of the 4th Annual Report of the ICRS Patient Registry.
Over the last year, the ICRS Patient Registry Manager and Steering Committee have been working hard on improving the Registry portals for clinician and patient users, expanding the Registry’s available languages, and publishing findings to increase our Registry’s impact.
We are aware that a common bottleneck for clinicians is the requirement of ethical approval at their institution before the Registry can be used with their patients. We also recognise that seeking ethical approval can be an onerous task for the institutes in question. To expedite this process, the Committee have developed answers to common questions asked by ethics committees in the hope that this will encourage many more clinicians and institutes to utilise our free and multi-lingual resource. This new guidance has been published alongside this year’s Annual Report.
If you would like to dive deeper into the ICRS Registry dataset, we encourage you to submit a proposed research title to the Committee via this online form by 1st January 2024: https://icrs.wufoo.com/forms/s10bc3s0k9u5px/
We are grateful for the contributions of our Registry Manager, Chair and Vice Chair of the Registry Steering Committee for the production of this Annual Report and guidance. We are also thankful to all clinician and patient users of the Registry for their contributions and to the current ICRS Patient Registry sponsors, Arthrex and Contura, for their continued support.
