About this study

Official title: Alidation of an Online Knee Pain Map and Questionnaire: A Probabilistic Diagnostic Tool

"Blank" has designed a medical diagnostic system in the form of an unvalidated online questionnaire and drawing tool used to describe and identify the location of knee pain, respectively. A component of the survey includes the patient inputting their diagnosis as the etiology of their knee pain. Dr. Ivo Dinov's team has used the data from 100,000 patient surveys to construct a probabilistic model to diagnose those who fill out the questionnaire and knee pain map but do not have a diagnosis. However, the validity of the online survey and the accuracy of the probabilistic model has not been confirmed in patients with known diagnoses. Therefore, the purpose of this study will be to recruit patients with knee pain at UCLA orthopedic clinics to complete the online survey which will then be applied to the probabilistic model to output possible diagnoses. The results will be compared to the actual diagnosis assigned to that patient in the clinic. If validated, the online survey may serve as a tool for diagnostic and research purposes.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The ability of the UCLA modeling software to predict diagnosis based on questionnaire answers

    UCLA has developed modeling software that may be accurate at predicting diagnoses depending on the answers given by patients to an online questionnaire and knee pain drawing map. The accuracy of the software has not been tested or validated. This study will determine the accuracy of this software by comparing UCLA orthopedic surgeon input diagnosis to that output by the modeling software following completion of the questionnaire by study participants.

    Measured: One year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Accuracy of patient input diagnosis compared to orthopedic surgeon diagnosis

    Patients may inaccurately input "known diagnoses" into the online questionnaire because they were diagnosed inaccurately by their doctor, input the wrong diagnosis into the questionnaire by accident, or were never diagnosed with a condition but they input a diagnosis. Therefore, because the modeling software is contingent on accurate patient input diagnoses, determining if patients accurately input their diagnoses into the questionnaire by comparing surgeon input diagnosis to patient input diagnosis may be helpful in elucidating modeling inaccuracy.

    Measured: One Year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Pain, run by Brock Foster at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The ability of the UCLA modeling software to predict diagnosis based on questionnaire answers (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 27 Mar 2012.
