Trial summary

A prospective multicenter study including all patients undergoing elective total hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasty (primary and revision). Patients will be screened for glycemic control using HbA1c levels, fructosamine levels, and blood glucose levels. Read more about this study

About this study

A prospective multicenter study including all patients undergoing elective total hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasty (primary and revision). Patients will be screened for glycemic control using HbA1c levels, fructosamine levels, and blood glucose levels. Blood samples will be obtained at the preadmission testing (PAT) within 30 days of surgery. On postoperative day 1 (POD-1), morning glucose levels will be obtained for all patients as well. Patients will be followed up for 90 days postop.

Study aims

  1. To examine the association between serum fructosamine levels and the risk for adverse outcomes (mainly PJI) following TJA among patients with and without diabetes.
  2. To compare the utility of fructosamine levels to HbA1c in predicting adverse outcomes.
  3. To determine the "best" threshold of fructosamine to determine adverse outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Infection, run by Rothman Institute Orthopaedics.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Prosthetic Joint Infection (time frame: within 90 days of surgery). 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 19 Apr 2018.
