Swiss national spinal implant registry SIRIS Spine: methods and first results
The SIRIS Spine registry has successfully captured initial data from the involved Swiss hospitals. Involvement of all key stakeholders including specialist societies has proven to be important and a clear success factor. The primary challenge identified was the complexity of inclusion criteria, which has impeded data validation. Future efforts will focus on simplifying criteria, rigorously validating data completeness and accuracy, and leveraging data for quality improvement and comparative analyses.
