This procedure is the same as for descriptor 30176 (but this only includes intra abdominal or pelvic tumours, not including babies/pregnancy) The procedure offers superiority over no treatment at all. The procedure offers equivalence to having the procedure entirely self funded. Please advise if the overall clinical claim is for: Superiority Non-inferiority Below, list the key health outcomes (major and minor prioritising major key health outcomes first) – that will need to be specifically measured in assessing the clinical claim of the proposed medical service versus the comparator: Safety Outcomes: List safety outcomes here Clinical Effectiveness Outcomes: Patient reported outcomes of improvement in quality of life, improvement in low back and abdominal pain and improvement in urinary incontinence have been proven in several clinical papers. PART 7 INFORMATION ABOUT ESTIMATED – UTILISATION Estimate the prevalence and/or incidence of the proposed population: The incidence of chronic back pain greater than two years following pregnancy has been reported between 5% to 21.1%. Persistent urinary incontinence rates 10 to 12 years after pregnancy range between 25% to 37.9%. Vaginal delivery is associated with a higher incidence of long term stress incontinence. The Australian female population is approximately 11million. 24% of Australian women are childless in their lifetime. A 20% incidence of chronic back pain and a 35% incidence of urinary incontinence in the remaining 8.36m childbearing women would mean up to 1.67m Australian women are suffering chronic back pain and 3.2m stress incontinence. Both these conditions negatively affect the quality of life and are usually under reported. Estimate the number of times the proposed medical service(s) would be delivered to a patient per year: Approximately1000 patients per year. How many years would the proposed medical service(s) be required for the patient? 1 (one procedure per patient) Estimate the projected number of patients who will utilise the proposed medical service(s) for the first full year: 1000 Estimate the anticipated uptake of the proposed medical service over the next three years factoring in any constraints in the health system in meeting the needs of the proposed population (such as supply
