The Australian Spine Registry will tell us about:
- the frequency of spine surgery in our community;
- the usefulness, safety and results of different surgical approaches and different implantable devices;
- the factors that predict favourable and unfavourable surgical outcomes in both the short and longer term;
- the variety of care provided for people undergoing spine surgery in our community, and how it compares to best practice internationally.
The ultimate goal of the registry is to capture information about all spine surgery with particular focus on the quality of care outcomes in patients.
