About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Intraoperative, Local Site Injections of Liposomal Bupivacaine as an Alternative to Standard Local Anesthetics in Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of liposomal bupivacaine (LB) versus standard of practice local injection containing plain bupivacaine.

Read the detailed description

Investigation of liposomal bupivacaine to determine if this drug is a valid alternative to standard of care local anesthesia based on evaluation in total hip arthroplasty This is a retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing THA at 3 hospitals within a U.S. healthcare system from January 2013 to July 2016. The control group received the standard of care undergoing THA (plain bupivacaine or ropivacaine), while the LB group received a mixture containing this drug as the alternative to the standard care. The outcome variables include hospital length of stay, readmissions, total hospital costs, patient pain scores, discharge disposition, morphine equivalent opioid consumption, and postoperative patient ambulation. Generalized linear models were employed to examine aforementioned outcomes controlling for age, gender, race, BMI, alcohol use, tobacco use, and surgeons..

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hip Disease, run by OSF Healthcare System.

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.

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?

Comparing physical function of the control group with the experimental group (time frame: 43 months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Nov 2017.
