Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Participating patients may help to clarify the consequences of using fixed bladder catheterisation of patients undergoing planned deployment of an artificial hip or knee. This will provide a basis to compare the effects of these practices with other treatment regimens, such as. intermittent once-bladder catheterisation in the postoperative period, which may contribute to the prevention and treatment of POUR can be optimized for all patients. The study is conducted as a non-interventional, observational study and all participants will receive the department's standard treatment.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must meet all the following criteria to be eligible to enroll in the study:
  • Age >50 years.
  • Patients scheduled for primary THA or TKA.
  • Patients who have given verbal consent to participate in the study.

Who cannot join

  • Patients who meet one or more of the following criteria may not be included in the study:
  • Patients who can not cooperate with the study.
  • Patients who do not understand or speak Danish.
  • Patients who are permanent catheter carriers or use disposable bladder catheterisation.
  • Patients on hemodialysis.
  • Urine Derivative patients.
  • Pregnancy or childbirth within 6 months.

About this study

To describe the need for re-catheterization and incidence of urological complications of routine use of perioperative fixed urinary catheter (KAD) for up to 24 hours of fast-track THA and TKA

Read the detailed description

Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a well known complication of fast-track total hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA), and even though medical options have been attempted, bladder catheterisation remains the only well-documented capacity to prevent and / or treat POUR.

It was previously standard to use fixed urinary catheter (KAD), the first 24-48 hours postoperatively to prevent POUR by THA and TKA, while more recent studies now recommend intermittent urinary catheterization in the postoperative period.

However, there are no detailed studies with adequate follow-up, describing the consequences of using either one or the other treatment regimen of POUR by fast-track THA and TKA.

Purpose:

To describe the need for re-catheterization and incidence of urological complications of routine use of perioperative fixed urinary catheter (KAD,catheter a demure) for up to 24 hours of fast-track THA and TKA

End Points:

  1. The number of patients in need of re-catheterization due POUR
  2. The number of patients in which the removal of KAD was not carried out within 24 hours.
  3. The number of urinary tract infections from surgery to postoperative day (POD) 30
  4. The number of patients with new-onset urinary discomfort at POD 30 (Increase in IPSS score).
  5. The number of urological-related readmissions (including urosepsis) within POD 30

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients needing re-catheterization

    The need for re-catheterization will be asses on a daily basis until discharge from hospital (median 3 days from surgery)

    Measured: From removal of urinary catheter at first postoperative day and untill discharge from hospital

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of patients who did not get their urinary catheter removed on the first postoperative day

    Measured: within the first 24 hours after surgery

  2. Number of urinary tract infections

    Assessed on a daily basis during admision and detailed telephone interview on day 30 after surgery

    Measured: within the first 30 days after surgery

  3. Number of patients developing postoperative micturition difficulties

    All patients completes a questionary preoperatively (the international prostate symptom score) and the same questionary again on day 30 after surgery.

    Measured: From day 1 to day 30 after surgery

  4. Number of re-admission due to urological problems, including urosepsis

    assessed by telephone interview on day 30 after surgery

    Measured: within the first 30 days after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Urinary Retention, run by Lundbeck Foundation at 1 site in Denmark.

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 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Number of patients needing re-catheterization (time frame: From removal of urinary catheter at first postoperative day and untill discharge from hospital). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02133768, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 7 Mar 2017.
