About LIPID REGISTRY

LIPID REGISTRY is an international, multi-centre, registry of intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE) use. The aim of LIPID REGISTRY is to prospectively collate the experience of practicing clinicians from all medical specialties with ILE administration, and to inform further recommendation for ILE utilization.

LIPID REGISTRY is a web-based audit facility available to any practicing clinician in any country following registration. Registered participants will be issued with a unique identifying code, and a link to the online registry tool. The simple registry tool requests input of de-identified patient data pertaining to an instance of ILE administration. Patient demographic details, overdose medication, and outcome data following ILE use may be entered.

In keeping with the goals of the project, it is important that ALL known cases of use (including both favourable and unfavourable outcomes) from an individual reporting clinicians’ department, or institution are lodged. Additionally, retrospective reporting of known cases whilst not necessary, is welcomed. Retrospective and prospective case data will be quarantined from each other.

Importantly all patient, and reporting clinician details are completely anonymous.

Ethical approval for the project has been granted by the Multi-Region Ethics Committee of the New Zealand Health and Disability Ethics Committees.
