About this study

The primary aim of the present study was to show how a national clinical register combined with other nationwide administrative registers may serve as a tool for pre- and post-marketing evaluation of new mesh and mesh fixation products for hernia surgery, using Physiomesh® versus other meshes designed for laparoscopic hernia repair as an example.

Read the detailed description

All adult (≥18 yrs) patients registered in the Danish Hernia Database (DHB) who underwent elective primary laparoscopic incisional hernia repair between January 1st 2010 and December 31st 2016.

To obtain 100% follow-up data from DHB will be combined with administrative data from the Danish National Patient register.

Patients will be followed from initial hernia repair until reoperation for recurrence, death, emigration outside Denmark or end of follow-up (november 2017).

Physiomesh and other mesh repairs will be propensity score matched. Each patient in the Physiomesh® group will be matched with two patients treated with one of the other synthetic meshes. The Propensity score includes age, sex, year of surgery, diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diagnosis of diabetes, diagnosis of obesity, Charlson comorbidity index and size of hernia defect

The primary outcome: Difference in risk for a reoperation for recurrence between patients operated with Physiomesh® and patients operated with another synthetic mesh designed for laparoscopic repair.

The secondary outcome will be rates of 30-day readmission, 30-day reoperation for complications (excluding hernia recurrence) as well as 30- and 90-day mortality.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Physiomesh in people with Hernia, Abdominal and Recurrence, run by Zealand University Hospital at 1 site in Denmark.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Feb 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Denmark. 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?

Re-operation for recurrence rate (time frame: up to 84 months). 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 27 Feb 2019.
