Trial summary

Cortisol is a hormone that increases after trauma or surgery and has circadian rhythm. It has a form that is increased in the morning and decreased in the evening. The investigators expected to be influenced by circadian rhythm according to the time of operation, and compared morning and afternoon surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Comparison of Cortisol and Cytokines in Morning and Afternoon Surgerys According to Circadian Rhythm of Cortisol

Cortisol is a hormone that increases after trauma or surgery and has circadian rhythm. It has a form that is increased in the morning and decreased in the evening. The investigators expected to be influenced by circadian rhythm according to the time of operation, and compared morning and afternoon surgery.

Read the detailed description

44 patients to undergo hip hemiarthroplasty or total hip replacement were divided to morning surgery group(Group A) and afternoon surgery group(Group P). All surgery was done by the same orthopedic surgeon. Anesthesia of Group A was started at 8 a.m. and Group P was at 12~2 p.m. Blood sampling was performed at 7:30 a.m., after induction of anesthesia, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after surgery in all patients of both groups. Cortisol, IL-6, and IL-8 was measured immediately after blood sampling. Visual analogue scale(VAS) was used to assess the degree of pain at before start of anesthesia, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after surgery. The postoperative hospital stay was calculated. Postoperative management was done by the same management team. Surgical wounds were treated at the same 24 hour intervals.

A sample size was calculated to differentiate between groups. Because difference of cortisol according to groups in ANOVA based on pilot study, the sample size was 20 patients per group. (Effect size f(v)= 0.5297047, α=0.05, 1-β=0.90) The investigators recruited total 44 patients to cover dropout 10%.

Being tested
Total hip replacement, Hemi-arthroplasty

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Total hip replacementProcedure or surgery

    Total hip replacement starts in the morning in group A and starts in the afternoon in group P.

  • Hemi-arthroplastyProcedure or surgery

    Hemi-arthroplasty starts in the morning in group A and starts in the afternoon in group P.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Total hip replacement and Hemi-arthroplasty in people with Hemiarthroplasty and Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip, run by Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital.

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 3 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 14 Nov 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

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?

Cortisol level (time frame: within the first 2 days after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03076827, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 14 Nov 2017.
