Removal of case ascertainment analysis

This publication previously included analysis on case ascertainment in order to give an indication of how effective the registry is in identifying cases.  Private Healthcare Information Network (PHIN) data was used to identify operations that should have been recorded in the BCIR where the care was privately funded.  We have identified that there are several independent healthcare providers who have not submitted data to PHIN meaning that this data is incomplete and the previously published case ascertainment estimates are unreliable.  Therefore, the case ascertainment analysis has been removed from this publication.
