About this study

Official title: A New Approach to a Personalized Patient Blood Management Program in Total Hip Arthroplasty

The study evaluates the patient related risk and predictive factors concerning perioperative homologous blood cell transfusion (erythrocyte concentrate ) in THA patients in one EndoCert max-certified orthopedic hospital in Germany.

A patient oriented preoperative decision-making algorithm (a personalised Patient Blood Management or pPBM App) will be developed as a new patient-safety blood-sparing strategy.

The aim is to increase the patient safety by using the pPBM App and to reach a more efficient management of resources.

What is being measured

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

  1. Events and circumstances of Homologous Blood Transfusion (erythrocyte concentrate transfusion)

    Multivariate analysis of predictive variables like age, sex, BMI, hip and belly circumference, chronic kidney disease, chronic cardio-vascular disease, chronic inflammatory disease, diabetes mellitus, cancer, ASA Score, cemented, hybrid or not cemented prosthesis, surgery duration, medication and hemoglobin level before surgery

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 10 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. pPBM Computer Simulation

    Introducing the pPBM App as a safe blood-sparing strategy

    Measured: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 10 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Anemia, run by Krankenhaus der Barmherzigen Brüder Trier at 1 site in Germany.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2015. 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 Germany. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Events and circumstances of Homologous Blood Transfusion (erythrocyte concentrate transfusion) (time frame: participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 10 days). 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 12 Oct 2015.
