About this study

Official title: Closed Suction Drain or Not After Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Comparative randomised study to clarify which better to use or no use of closed suction drain system after total hip arthroplasty regarding amount of blood loss, need for blood transfusion, risk for superficial infection, ecchymosis, wound discharge, effect on early post-operative rehabilitation. Patients will be followed up for one month postoperative clinically (Harris Hip score system), laboratory (Hb level), and radiologically (A-P view plain x-ray of the hip).

Read the detailed description

Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) wounds are prone to formation of hematomas. Hematomas may increase the incision tension, leading to wound discharge and providing a good medium for bacteria, increase post-operative pain, limitation of range of motion of hip joint and prolong post-operative rehabilitation duration, also may cause ecchymosis, and tension vesicles around the surgical wound.

So use of closed suction drain system may reduce these complications. Nevertheless some recent studies have claimed that drainage can cause other complications and does not reduce hematoma formation and risk for infection. Furthermore, some studies have shown that drainage increase blood loss after THA which may both lead to increase blood transfusion requirements and provide an entry point for skin microorganisms.

Some other studies have found that no significance between use and non use of suction drain after THA.

So the investigators will take this issue for study a comparison between benefits and hazards of use and non use of suction drain after THA.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing closed suction drain and no suction drain in people with Total Hip Arthroplasty, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 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 22 Jan 2019. 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

change in Hb level (time frame: preoperative and 24 hrs postoperative). 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 22 Jan 2019.
