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.

Product Recall and the Registry
BCIR: Product Recalls and Data Quality
The efficacy of product recalls from the registry are reliant on the quality of the data that it holds. Product recalls are only possible based on the manufacturer. Due to problems with coverage, quality and lack of reference data for the device identifiers, serial numbers, catalogue reference numbers and lot numbers, it is not possible to carry out a product recall based on these fields.
