Comparator / control treatment
The SERENITY study will be a case-controlled study utilising a once off patient eConsent and electronic survey of identified population who self elect to complete, compared to the general population using an interactive dataset from a publicly available national database - the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare Australian Burden of Disease Study: Impact and causes of illness and death in Australia, 2015 (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2015). Patients identified in the study population will be case matched by age with the controlled data set

Statistical methods / analysis
The primary measures in this study are proportions and rates. Estimates of these statistics will include margins of error and comparisons made across populations using appropriate inferential methods. Survey response data will be summarised, displayed, and analysed as applicable for the scale of variables involved.

Split populations have been chosen in order to identify the factors seen in each of the groups with one of the variables only (lymphoma only or breast implants only) so that factors identified can be differentiated between the risk of developing lymphoma without implants and with breast implants. By using an Australian data set, the potential variance from using an international dataset with differing environment, social and health services is removed. Case-matching by age will ensure that the increased risk of developing malignancies as a patient ages is removed.

Results will be analysed with intention to make recommendations for pilot screening program.

Aimed for minimum of 10 in each cohort. If recruitment reaches 25 responses in each cohort, the study will close.
While it would be ideal to collect as many responses as possible, due to the time restrictions based on the dissertation submission requirement of the student Investigators Master course, numbers have been limited.
