Review Body for Interventional Procedures (ReBIP)

ReBIP - Review Body for Interventional Procedures


Please note the ReBIP Project finished on the 31st March 2011

Please note that this database is now closed for entering new records. However, follow-up data are still being collected and entered.

Reporting documentation for this Database is grouped under four headings – 1) First consultation; 2) The Operation; 3) Follow-up; 4) Adverse Events. In addition to this clinical monitoring documentation data on the patient experience and perspective will be gathered via a quality of life tool, the UFS-QOL.

If you are a radiologist who is submitting material for the first time we would appreciate if you could complete an Interventionalist Experience Form, which can be found by clicking on the link in the Downloads box. It need only be completed once. This form is used to chart operator progress along the 'learning curve' and assess its impact on the safety and efficacy outcomes.

Online submission of data direct to the database is possible via the BSIR web-site:

BSIR Web-site

1) First Consultation

This First Consultation pack (see Downloads:) contains all the documents needed to report a new case including the patient information sheet and consent form. Please ensure that each potential candidate for inclusion receives the Information Sheet and, if willing to be included, signs the Consent Form. Three copies of the Consent Form are required.

2) The Operation

When the patient attends for the operation please complete and return the Procedure and Discharge form (see Downloads:) once the patient has been discharged. Should any adverse events have occurred during the inpatient phase an Adverse Event form should be returned as well.

3) Follow-up

Patterns and frequency of follow-up vary between centres. The Outcome form (see Downloads:) should be completed on each occasion that the patient attends for outpatient follow-up. If any adverse events have occurred since the patient was last seen the Adverse Events form should be completed as well. For second and subsequent follow-ups the UFS-QOL is requested.

4) Adverse Events

Should any adverse events occur at any time during the patient's progress through from admission to discharge to post-discharge follow-up these should be reported using the Adverse Events form (see Downloads:).

5) Quality of Life Tool

A quality of life reporting tool (the Uterine Fibroid Symptom Quality of Life questionnaire or UFS-QOL) is also available for download (see Downloads:) and should be completed at the patient's first consultation and on second and subsequent outpatient follow-ups. This tool is used with the kind permission of the Cardiovascular and International Radiology Research and Education Foundation (CIRREF).
