Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Clinical Research
  • Patient-Reported Outcome Measures

Background:

  • Over 400,000 arthroscopic procedures are performed annually in Germany.
  • There is a need to evaluate real-world outcomes of these common joint surgeries.
  • Understanding patient-specific factors and concurrent conditions is crucial for improving surgical success.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the methodology of the DART (German Arthroscopic Procedures Registry) registry.
  • To establish a system for collecting and analyzing data on arthroscopic procedures.
  • To identify factors affecting complications and treatment failure in joint arthroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a web-based remote data entry system for the DART registry.
  • Collection of data via physician and patient forms, including disease, procedure, and validated outcome scores.
  • Longitudinal data collection for up to 5 years post-surgery, covering joint-specific outcomes, disability, and quality of life.

Main Results:

  • The registry collects comprehensive data on arthroscopic procedures and patient outcomes.
  • The methodology allows for identification of patient-specific factors linked to complications and treatment failure.
  • Data will be used for clinical investigations, subgroup analyses, and generating public reports on surgical effectiveness.

Conclusions:

  • The DART registry provides a robust framework for evaluating arthroscopic surgery outcomes in routine clinical practice.
  • The collected data will inform surgeons, patients, healthcare authorities, and insurance companies about surgical effectiveness.
  • This methodology facilitates evidence-based improvements in arthroscopic joint procedures.
