NJR Supported Research publications and outputs
The NJR encourages the use of the registry dataset to answer research questions that add value to our knowledge and understanding of joint replacement practice, clinical performance and patient safety.
Researchers effectively use the data to see trends and analyse questions about outcomes in relation to particular underlying disease and patient comorbidity, as well as address clinical and cost-effectiveness outcomes related to the implant prosthesis used.
On this page, we provide details of supported research, publications and outputs which illustrate the opportunities external researchers have had to access the NJR dataset to ask questions not only about joint replacement outcomes, but also to test and validate novel analysis methodologies.
The outputs demonstrate the value of the use of this collected data to the orthopaedic community to improve outcomes for future patients. Details of these and other research publications using NJR data can be found below.
