The FIBROID RegistryStructure
Cooperative effort by SIR, DCRI, industry supporters, and government.
Multi-center voluntary prospective registry of patients undergoing uterine embolization.
Steering Committee Study structure, data forms, adjudication of adverse
events, selection of sites and communication with sites, data analysis and publication plan, investigator training
DCRI Maintained web data entry mechanism, did all follow-up
beyond 30 days, maintained data records, completed data analysis.
The FIBROID RegistryStructure
Two types of sites: core and participating sites Core sites
Greater experience (>24 cases), expected enrollment rates (5 per month)
Greater data requirements: complete baseline demographic data, gynecologic and reproductive history, symptoms, therapies and imaging findings.
Complete UFS-QOL Final selection by the steering committee to ensure diversity of
practice settings. Participating sites
Member of SIR or international equivalent. Willing to collect baseline data minimum.
The FIBROID RegistryStructure
All sites collect data at baseline, from procedure and up to 30 days follow-up.
Short term outcome focused on technical aspects, adverse events and predictors of events.
Registry plan to obtain 6, 12, 24, and 36 month follow-up.
Primary long-term outcome measure: symptom score from UFS-QOL.
Other outcome measures: UFS-QOL Total Score, subsequent interventions, pregnancies.
The FIBROID RegistryEnrollment
Initially, 3319 patients treated at 7 enrolling sites. 3166 (95.4%) consented to Registry Complete variables in 3005 (94.9%)
Thirty-day follow-up complete in 2729 (90%)
2112 eligible for long-term follow-up.
Six month follow-up completed in 1797 (85.1%).

Registry SummaryOutcome at One Year
Striking, marked improvement in both symptom scores and quality of life scores.
Stable improvement from 6 to 12 months.
Few interventions, hospitalizations needed.
Patient satisfaction high: most believe treatment a success and would recommend.
Registry SummaryPublication Status
Three publications in preparation currently: Registry Methods and Baseline Demographics
Describes the patient population In review at Obstetrics and Gynecology
Short-term Outcomes Focuses on safety in the first 30 days. In review at Obstetrics and Gynecology
One-year Outcomes Focuses on symptom and quality of life status at 12 months In review at JAMA
Additional papers under consideration: Additional analysis of subgroups/ quality of life outcomes at 12 months. Pregnancy outcomes 2 and 3 year outcome
Conclusion The FIBROID Registry represents the largest clinical
outcomes study ever undertaken for a fibroid therapy.
This achievement is remarkable given that there was no funding support for investigators or sites.
The Steering Committee would like to congratulate the FIBROID Investigators and thank them for their dedication and generosity.
