This webinar is being produced by the IASP’s Pain Registry Special Interest Group (SIG). Among others, this SIG aims to:

Encourage collaborators to present their findings at IASP-related events
Encourage existing medical registries (related to pain and not related to pain) to include some “agreed” standard pain outcomes as a minimum
Provide guidance on best practices in developing pain registries.

The upcoming webinar will include speakers describing finding from registries operating in three continents, Asia, Europe and Australia, addressing acute and chronic pain conditions.

Compared to some Western countries, China has not conducted a nationwide survey on the current situation of acute postoperative pain management. The talk will describe work in the recently established Chinese Acute Postoperative Pain Registry, which enrolled 26,193 adult patients undergoing a wide range of surgical procedures, assessing multiple pain modalities in patients

How can the findings be used to improve management of acute postoperative pain in China?

The German Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society initiated the MS Registry in 2001. Initially, the registry focused on a general description of the situation of patients with MS in Germany e.g. the course of the disease, sociodemographic information and effects and availability of therapy in a cross sectional fashion.

Since 2005, a revised core data set has been used, longitudinal data collection commenced and in 2014 first efforts in integrating PRO started. The presentation will provide details on the occurrence of pain in patients with MS and the provision of care.

Australia and New Zealand have relatively dispersed populations and large rural and regional areas. This presentation will look at the ePPOC dataset and its findings in relation to chronic pain outcomes and geographic isolation, with some unexpected results that have generated momentum for further research by ePPOC.

David Holloway, PhD

Director

Electronic Persistent Pain Outcomes Collaboration, Australian Health Services Research Institute, University of Wollongong, Wollongong

David Holloway joined the electronic Persistent Pain Outcomes Collaboration (ePPOC) as Director in May 2022, after an extensive career in both the public and private sector, most recently as Director of Quality and Safety for an Australian community nursing and aged care organisation. ePPOC has been collecting pain outcomes data for more than a decade across Australia and New Zealand and is currently progressing towards the third iteration of its dataset.

David has held a varied range of operational management and clinical governance roles covering both face-to-face and telehealth delivery models and completed his PhD thesis on the efficacy of virtual environments in increasing competence and confidence of nursing students in relation to medication administration.
