An observational study of Hip Dislocation, run by University of Southern Denmark at 1 site in Denmark.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

The primary objective is to report the true incidence of hip dislocations in primary THA patients within 2 years of index surgery. Secondary, patient and component characteristics (age, sex, comorbidity, cemented/uncemented, approach, head diameter) are analyzed as potential risk factors for dislocation.

Study population: Retrospective, we include patients with the diagnosis "primary/idiopathic hip OA". Patients are identified by data extraction from the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Registry. From 2010-2014 an average of 9000 hips/year received a primary THA and about 80% of these patients were diagnosed with idiopathic/primary arthritis. Therefore, we tend to include approximately 36.000 hips. We also include the second hip, if a patient undergoes 2 primary operations in our inclusion period and this is adjusted for in the analysis.

Who may be able to join

  • patients with the diagnosis "primary/idiopathic hip OA and inserted THA from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2014.

Who cannot join

  • patients receiving a resurfacing hip arthroplasty and hip revisions
  • patients with incomplete registry data
  • patients with previous hip surgery

About this study

The primary objective is to report the true incidence of hip dislocations in primary THA patients within 2 years of index surgery.

Secondary, patient and component characteristics (age, sex, comorbidity, cemented/uncemented, approach, head diameter) are analyzed as potential risk factors for dislocation. Specific components may be analyzed based on number.

Read the detailed description

Based on published literature and personal experience, most hip surgeons have an assumption of the degree of hip dislocation. This will be the first study to reveal the actual extent of this specific complication in a large population. It will give surgeons knowledge of the current standards -both on a national and hospital level. Depending on the results and comparisons to relevant countries, the investigators will be able to either substantiate or forced to rethink current procedures. This applies to both surgical access and use of specific components.

Since the vast majority of dislocations appear within 1-2 years after primary surgery (29), the follow-up period will be 2 years. By applying the National Patient Registry the investigators are able to identify any type of patient contact with the hospital system throughout Denmark in these 2 years. Patients assigned with correct diagnostic and procedural codes for dislocation and reduction are identified. However, the investigators will also find the cases of dislocation that are incorrectly coded in the registry. Therefore, the investigators will manually look in all the patient files from orthopedic contacts regardless of assigned diagnostic and procedural codes. Additionally, emergency room and internal medicine contacts are scanned with a broad and comprehensive range of relevant hip- and dislocation-related codes to identify episodes of hip dislocation, which are incorrectly coded. These patient files will also be manually reviewed.

If a patient is revised within the first 2 years, the follow-up period ends on the revision date. Revisions are also registered in the Danish Hip Arthroplasty Registry. However, the completeness is 93-95% and therefore lower than for primary operations. In order to have the complete set of revisions, the investigators will enrich our data with an extraction from the National Patient Registry by applying all approved hip revision codes

What participants receive

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

  • THAOther

    Study participants have received a total hip arthroplasty due to arthritis. We do not make further intervention.

What is being measured

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

  1. Hip dislocation

    The true incidence of hip dislocation calculated as proportion presented with 95% confidence intervals (CI).

    Measured: 2 years.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Age

    Potential risk factor found by logistic regression analysis

    Measured: 2 years.

  2. Sex

    Potential risk factor found by logistic regression analysis

    Measured: 2 years.

  3. Comorbidity

    Potential risk factor found by logistic regression analysis

    Measured: 2 years.

  4. Fixation of components

    Potential risk factor found by logistic regression analysis

    Measured: 2 years.

  5. Surgical approach

    Potential risk factor found by logistic regression analysis

    Measured: 2 years.

  6. Head diameter of prosthesis

    Potential risk factor found by logistic regression analysis

    Measured: 2 years.

  7. Time to dislocation

    Time to first dislocation presented by Kaplan-Meier plot.

    Measured: 2 years.

  8. Development in complication (dislocation) over time.

    Incidence each year (2010-2014) calculated as proportion presented with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and compared statistically depending on distribution.

    Measured: 5 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hip Dislocation, run by University of Southern Denmark 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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 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?

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?

Hip dislocation (time frame: 2 years.). 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 1 Mar 2019.
