Starting in 2011, the Victorian Lung Cancer Registry (VLCR) is a clinical quality registry which collects and reports on data relating to 24 clinical quality indicators (CQIs) from Victoria and Tasmania. Data are reported from 9 participating health services, including 51 hospitals, with the aim of capturing all patients newly diagnosed with a primary lung cancer in stakeholder hospitals.

With the upload of Swefoot (Swedish National Register for Foot and Ankle Surgery), we have reached a new milestone. Swefoot was started in 2014 to collect surgical and patient-reported data on foot and ankle surgery. Currently, data on 16 different diagnoses are collected in 68 units performing foot and ankle surgery. Registrations are performed by the surgeon and the patient. In January 2025, a total of 47,600 surgical procedures were registered in Swefoot.
There are at least 1,400 people living with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in Belgium, and the Belgian Cystic Fibrosis Registry (started in 1998) covers about 90-95% of CF patients living in Belgium. By collecting data on almost all patients with CF cared for in Belgium, the BCFR gives a good and quite complete picture of the epidemiology of the disease and the evolution of the health status of CF patients.
