Trial summary

The aim is to compare QOL and hip specific outcome measures in patients with a single or recurrent episode(s) of THA dislocation and patients with a THA without any dislocation. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 40 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The patients had undergone primary surgery in the 5-year period from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2014 and subsequent dislocation was evaluated in a 2-year follow-up period. Cases are found in a previously described study (Protocol-ID 3-3013-2128/1). 1100-1800 cases will be identified, anticipated. A matched control group of patients with primary THA without any event of dislocation are located from the original 5-year period of primary surgery. They will be matched with the group of patients with dislocation, regarding to: 1. Age (+/- 5 years) 2. Gender 3. Date of surgery and hospital

Who may be able to join

  • patients with one or more events of hip dislocation after a primary THA
  • controls with a primary THA without events of hip dislocation

Who cannot join

About this study

The aim is to compare QOL and hip specific outcome measures in patients with a single or recurrent episode(s) of THA dislocation and patients with a THA without any dislocation.

Read the detailed description

Knowledge about the patient's own perception of both general health and more hip-related issues after experiencing a hip dislocation is lacking (19). Hip surgeons need this information in order to incorporate it with other objective aspects, when advising patients with their first hip dislocation. Due to the large study population, this study will provide solid information of what to expect after a hip dislocation and be the largest study ever conducted within this topic. Depending on the results, this study may change the path we choose to advise for our patients after single or recurrent dislocations.

A matched case-control study involving the share of THA patients with at least 1 episode of hip dislocation.

The patients had undergone primary surgery in the 5-year period from 01.01.2010 - 31.12.2014 and subsequent dislocation was evaluated in a 2-year follow-up period. Given a 3-5% approximated incidence of dislocation, 1100-1800 cases will have been identified.

Patients are subdivided in groups depending on the number of dislocations and one group containing THA revisions. In order to be included, a time frame of at least 0,5 year since the last episode of dislocation or surgery must have passed.

A matched control group of patients with primary THA without any event of dislocation are located from the original 5-year period of primary surgery. They will be matched with the group of patients with dislocation, regarding to:

  1. Age (+/- 5 years)
  2. Gender
  3. Date of surgery and hospital

The study will be conducted in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines.

After 01.01.2019, all patients included will be receiving 3 questionnaires (a generic - EQ-5D, a hip-specific - HOOS, and an activity scale - UCLA) by e-boks (a mandatory secure email system couplet to the patient's CPR number). Some elderly are exempt and will instead receive the questionnaires by regular mail and a pre-labeled return envelope is attached. Reminders are sent after 2 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Quality of Life and 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 2 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 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?

QOL (Quality of life) (time frame: 9 years). The study lists 2 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 1 Mar 2019.
