Trial summary

Hip replacement surgery is common, with over 60,000 cases in Canada annually. After hip replacement, about 1-2% patients develop a deep infection in their artificial hip implant, called a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). It can results in severe pain, disability and death. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: REVISITS Trial: Revision Single or Two Stage Surgery for Periprosthetic Hip Infection - a Multicentre Randomized Clinical Trial

Hip replacement surgery is common, with over 60,000 cases in Canada annually. After hip replacement, about 1-2% patients develop a deep infection in their artificial hip implant, called a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). It can results in severe pain, disability and death.

There are two types of surgical treatment: a single-stage revision that involves removing the joint, thoroughly cleaning the infected area and implanting a new joint, all in the same surgical procedure; a two-stage revision involves removing the joint, waiting at least 8 weeks while treating the patients with antibiotics and then doing re-implantation of the joint.

Read the detailed description

Peri-prosthetic infection is an uncommon but severe complication of joint replacement (arthroplasty) with a reported rate between 0.6 to 2.2%. Although the likelihood of infection is relatively small, the psychological and economic impact, as well as long-term implications to both the patient and healthcare system, can be catastrophic.

The current gold standard treatment for peri-prosthetic infection is a two-stage strategy, where the artificial hip joint is removed and a new replacement delayed for at least 8 weeks until clear evidence of infection eradication is obtained. During this time the patient may be non-ambulatory, non- or partial-weight bearing and then a wait for re-listing for the second surgery.

An alternative treatment that has recently been more widely used is to perform a single stage revision. That involves removing the implants and then irrigating and debriding and finally implanting the new replacements prostheses. This is all done in one surgery. The advantage of this technique is that there is only one procedure and usually the patient is allowed to bear weight on the joint.

Primary Objective:

To compare pain and physical function assessed by the Oxford hip score, between the single and two-stage revision surgery for a periprosthetic hip infection in adults

Secondary Objectives:

To compare pain, function, quality of life, rates of reinfection, complications, cost-effectiveness and health economic impact.

Tertiary Objectives:

To involve building partnerships between patients, researchers and clinicians. Patients will be engaged in the trial development and knowledge translation.

Study groups in NCT03741296
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
single stage revisionActive comparatorOne surgery where the infected artificial joint will be removed along with all components, cement, and any potentially infected material. The surgical site will be debrided and washed out before a new artificial hip joint (prosthesis) is implanted. All the procedures will be done in a single surgery.
Receives: Procedure: Single stage revision
two-stage revisionActive comparatorPatients will undergo 2 separated surgeries. In the first operation, the infected artificial joint will be removed along with all components, cement, and any potentially infected material. The surgical site will be debrided, washed out and a spacer will be placed in the hip (temporarily replace prosthesis). A secondary surgery to re-implant the hip will be performed with an interval period of 4-10 weeks when the infection is cleared. The site will be debrided and irrigated, and any component/spacer will be removed. A new artificial joint will then be implanted.
Receives: Procedure: Two-stage revision

What is being measured

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

  1. Patient-reported hip function

    Measured by means of the Oxford Hip Score - A short questionnaire consists of 12 questions ranging from 0 to 48 points, designed to assess function and pain after hip replacement surgery. Higher values represent a better outcome. Scores between 40-48 indicate satisfactory joint function

    Measured: Questionnaire will be completed by patients at 9 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Health status and quality of life

    EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D-5L) is a questionnaire where patients self-rate their level of severity of health status and health-related quality of life. Consists of 5 dimensions (mobility, self care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, anxiety/depression) and each one of them has 5 levels (no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems, and extreme problems) where patients will indicate how they feel regarding their health status and quality of life.

    Measured: Questionnaire will be completed by patients before the surgery and at 6, 9, 12 and 24 months after surgery

  2. Reinfection rates

    Recurrence of infection by the same organism or reinfection with a new organism as determined by the criteria using the Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria.

    1. There is a sinus tract communicating with the prosthesis; or
    2. A pathogen is isolated by culture from at least two separate tissue or fluid samples obtained from the affected prosthetic joint; or
    3. Four of the following six criteria exist:
    4. Elevated serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and serum C-reactive protein (CRP) concentration
    5. Elevated synovial leukocyte count,
    6. Elevated synovial neutrophil percentage (PMN%)
    7. Presence of purulence in the affected joint
    8. Isolation of a microorganism in one culture of periprosthetic tissue or fluid
    9. Greater than five neutrophils per high-power field in five high-power fields observed from histologic analysis of periprosthetic tissue at 400x magnification

    Measured: will be assessed at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 9,12 and 24 months after surgery

  3. Patient-reported hip function

    Measured by means of the Oxford Hip Score - A short questionnaire consists of 12 questions ranging from 0 to 48 points, designed to assess function and pain after hip replacement surgery. Higher values represent a better outcome. Scores between 40-48 indicate satisfactory joint function

    Measured: Questionnaire will be completed by patients at 12 and 24 months after surgery

  4. Visual Analog Pain Scale

    Assess pain from a visual scale that ranges from 0 to 10. Straight line with the endpoints defining extreme limits such as 'no pain at all' (zero) and 'pain as bad as it could be' (ten)

    Measured: Pain scale will be assessed before the surgery and at 24 and 48 hours, 6 weeks, 3,6, 9, 12 and 24 months after surgery

  5. Hospital readmission

    If patients who were discharged after surgery have an unplanned readmission for any cause to an hospital, the reason for readmission being related or not to the surgery

    Measured: Will be assessed within 30 days of discharge

  6. Hospital length of stay

    The duration of a single episode of hospitalization (in days)

    Measured: Will be assessed from admission to discharge (up to 30 days)
