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.

Summary

This is the second publication of data from the Breast and Cosmetic Implant Registry. For the first time, the report includes breakdowns of device and mesh by manufacturer and reported instance of anaplastic large cell lymphoma.

The registry is designed to record the details of any individual, who has a breast implant operation for any reason, so that they can be traced in the event of a product recall or other safety concern relating to a specific type of implant. The registry will also allow the identification of possible trends and complications relating to specific implants.

This report is to provide information on the uptake of the registry. It does not provide a comprehensive view of the number of breast implant operations undertaken.

Highlights

  • 340 submitting organisations from England are currently registered to enter data in the registry.
  • Since the registry opened in October 2016, data has been entered by 300 English submitting organisations.
  • 15,235 patients have been recorded as having at least one operation in the last year, between July 2018 and June 2019.
  • Data has been submitted to the registry about 15,570 operations undertaken between July 2018 and June 2019 at 130 NHS and 163 independent sector provider sites.
