Irish National Orthopaedic Register (INOR)

INOR is an electronic point of care system, designed to collect demographic, clinical and implant component data on patients admitted to hospital for primary and revision arthroplasty surgery in hospitals nationally. Clinical and patient-reported outcome information is also collected at defined time points following patients’ surgery. **Purpose:** The main objective of INOR is to monitor the quality and safety of arthroplasty, ensure safe surgical practice for patients and to maintain a register of implants used. INOR will support hospitals should an implant recall occur. INOR’s secondary objectives are to:  define the epidemiology of joint replacement surgery in Ireland  provide timely information on the outcomes of joint replacements  identify risk factors for poor outcomes  assist in the assessment and education of clinicians. **Coverage:** When INOR implementation is complete, all elective public and private Orthopaedic Centres in Ireland will be included. As of Dec 2021, INOR includes nine participating hospitals. Data collection on participating patients is for the lifetime of the implant or the patient.
