About this study

Official title: Impact of Comorbidities on Measure of Indirect Utility Change in Hip and Knee Ostearthritis

National cohort study aimed to investigate the impact of comorbidities (number and type of comorbidities) on health utility state change in lower lim osteoarthritis (hip and knee OA).

Read the detailed description

The concept of health utility state was developed by economists to explain individual choices and preferences for health states. It is expressed as the "desirability or preference that individuals exhibit for the condition". This health utility state can be measured indirectly using health-relation quality of life questionnaires.

Chronic diseases such as OA are known to be associated with impairment of quality of life. Given that OA prevalence increases with age, OA is often associated with other diseases (comorbidities). A cross-sectional study showed that comorbidities are associated with lower health utility state in OA. Investigation of longitudinal impact of comorbidities on health utility state change is need.

Main objective: Determine the impact of comorbidities on change in health utility state among patients with lower limb OA.

Secondary objective: Determine the Minimal Clinically important Difference in health utility state among patients with lower limb OA.

The COMUTAR study uses longitudinal data from the Knee and Hip Osteoarthritis Longitudinal Assessment (KHOALA) cohort study. Health utility state is measured indirectly using Medical Outcome Study Short Form-36 quality of life questionnaire Comorbidities are assessed using the Functional Comorbidity Index

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in health utility state

    Change in health state utility score between the inclusion in the KHOALA cohort and 5 years later (T5-T0)

    Measured: Five years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) of health utility state

    Measured: Five years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoarthritis, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France.

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 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 26 Aug 2016. 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.

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 health utility state (time frame: Five years). 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 26 Aug 2016.
