Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

This study identified three key quality indicators for breast device registries: preoperative antibiotics, reoperation due to complications, and patient-reported outcomes. These measures will standardize breast implant surgery care globally.

Area of Science:

  • Medical device regulation
  • Surgical quality improvement
  • Patient outcomes research

Background:

  • Breast device registries are crucial for monitoring breast implants, tissue expanders, and dermal matrices.
  • Standardized quality indicators are needed for consistent benchmarking of care across registries.
  • Current quality assessment lacks global uniformity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a globally applicable set of quality indicators for breast device surgery.
  • To enable consistent assessment and reporting of quality of care.
  • To facilitate international benchmarking of breast implant registries.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping literature review identified potential quality indicators.
  • A modified Delphi approach with international experts achieved consensus.
  • The process involved surveys and teleconferences over six months.

Main Results:

  • Three of twelve candidate indicators were endorsed by the expert panel.
  • Endorsed indicators include: preoperative intravenous antibiotics, reoperation due to complication, and patient-reported outcome measures.
  • These indicators provide a foundation for standardized quality assessment.

Conclusions:

  • The three endorsed quality indicators will enable international standardization of breast device registry benchmarking.
  • This standardization will improve the quality of care and patient outcomes in breast device surgery.
  • The findings support global consistency in evaluating breast implant procedures.
