Data collection arrangements
Data will be collected from UK hospitals in a secure registry in which will be stored:
1) patient details (date of birth, NHS/CHI number)
2) other personal patient information(gender, hospital treated, date treated)
3) clinical history (comorbidities, previous medications prescribed, previous interventions undertaken, number and duration of previous intubations).
4) results from parent surveys (including paediatric Voice Handicap Index, Visual Analogue Scale and record of incidence and nature of recent hospital attendances/visits)
5) results from medical examination (height, weight, current signs and symptoms, current medications, degree of stenosis (via Cotton-Myer grading) or type/spread of respiratory papillomas (via Derkay scoring system), along with primary and secondary diagnoses
6) description of treatment(s) and/or procedure(s) carried out, as well as the details of the device used, and any medical complications which occured in the application of treatment(s) and/or procedure(s). Additionally for stenosis,
directly after the procedure the change in stenotic area will be recorded (using the the Cotton-Myer grading system).
7) post-procedural outcome measures (nature and incidence of any post-procedural complications, mortality)Longitudinal data will be collected for each patient during their standard outpatient/hospital scheduled visits (no additional visits will be required to participate data to this registry). Additional information captured across subsequent respiratory healthcare visits will be requested mirroring questions asked during the above defined registry pages (with the addition of asking parent/guardian(s) of additional GP, inpatient, outpatient, A&E attendances since last hospital visit).
Research programme
The database will provide additional safety and efficacy evidence to update national relevant NICE Interventional Procedures Guidance (which is applicable to the whole of the UK). The database will also provide additional information for clinical pathways for patients diagnosed with airway stenosis or respiratory papillomatosis.
