About this study

The care for patients receiving total hip and knee arthroplasty at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has followed a structured care pathway since July 2015. This system of perioperative care has focused on preoperative assessment of medical co-morbidities and risks to postoperative functional recovery, anesthetic care focused on postoperative nausea and vomiting prevention and optimizing immediate postoperative functional ability, and aggressive postoperative physical therapy.

This is an observational study to look at the outcomes of this program at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Areas of focus will be hospital length of stay, postoperative narcotic consumption, Visual Analog Scale scores, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, and 30-day readmission rates, and health literacy rates.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Osteoarthritis and Hip Osteoarthritis, run by University of Arkansas at 1 site in United States.

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.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

Length of Stay (time frame: 7/1/2015 - 7/1/2016). 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 24 Jul 2019.
