  • Ages 60 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Elective revision total hip replacement surgery was performed in 60 patients aged between 60 and 75 years old of both sex of ASA physical status I and II of 70-90 kg body weight and height 160-180 cm.

Who cannot join

  • This study excluded cases of revision total hip arthroplasty (RTHA) for infection or fractures as well as early revisions for dislocations secondary to implant malposition.

About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Preoperative Autologous Blood Donation and Tranexamic Acid in Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Sixty patients aged between 60 and 75 years old of both sex of ASA physical status I and II were included in this randomized study who were divided into the study group of 30 patients who had been transfused autologous blood and the control group of 30 patients who had been transfused only allogeneic blood. Parenteral iron preparation was given to all patients of the study group after each donation. Intraoperatively all patients of the study group received 2 grams of intravenous tranexamic acid. This study was conducted through the laboratory analysis of the hemoglobin and the hematocrit values during blood donation and for both groups in the pre-operative and the post-operative period and the assessment of the amount of transfused blood units in both groups.

Read the detailed description

A total of 60 patients were included in this randomized study that were divided into a study group of 30 patients, who had been transfused autologous blood and a control group of 30 patients who had been transfused only allogeneic blood. Parenteral iron preparation was given to all patients of the study group after each donation. Intraoperatively all patients of the study group received 2 g of intravenous TXA.

This study was conducted through laboratory analysis of hemoglobin and hematocrit values during blood donation and for both groups in the preoperative and the postoperative period and the assessment of the amount of transfused blood units in both groups.

Being tested
transfused pre-operatively donated autologous blood., intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) infusion, transfused only allogeneic blood.
Keywords

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing transfused pre-operatively donated autologous blood., intravenous tranexamic acid (TXA) infusion and transfused only allogeneic blood. in people with Revision Total Hip Arthroplasty (RTHA), run by Ain Shams University.

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 1 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 7 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Sep 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Transfused Allogeneic Blood Units (in Digits). (time frame: 48-72 hours after surgery.). 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 7 Sep 2020.
