Trial summary

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common complication after surgical repair of elbow trauma. Uric acid is the end-product of purine metabolism that has any physiological and pathogenic potential functions. However, the relationship of HO and uric acid has not been explored up to now.

About this study

Official title: Assessment of Heterotopic Ossification of Elbow Joint in Relation of Serum Uric Acid: a Retrospective Study.

Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a common complication after surgical repair of elbow trauma. Uric acid is the end-product of purine metabolism that has any physiological and pathogenic potential functions. However, the relationship of HO and uric acid has not been explored up to now. This study aimed to assess the relationship of HO and uric acid. The investigators retrospectively reviewed the demographics of participants who undergone the surgery for elbow trauma in our hospital between January 2012 and December 2018. One hundred participants included in our study. The participants were divided into two groups by the existing HO or not. The serum uric acid between both groups were compared by using the independent samples student T tests.

Read the detailed description

The investigators retrospectively analyzed the demographics of these participants in our hospital who underwent the surgery after trauma of elbow joint between January 2012 and December 2018. All of the participants had a previous history of elbow joint fractures including distal humerus fracture or proximal ulna fracture or capitulum radii fracture or elbow fracture dislocation. According to X ray or CT scan, the participants were divided into two groups. One group the participants had not existed radiographic evidence of heterotopic ossification or formatted ectopic lamellar bone. And the other group is the participants with radiographic evidence of heterotopic ossification. And we recorded patient serum uric acid, sex and age, Body Mass Index (BMI), the situation of joint trauma and comorbid conditions including diabetes mellitus or impaired blood glucose, gout, metabolic syndrome, osteoporosis and various vitamin deficiency diseases. Moreover, the grades of heterotopic ossification were recorded for all patients according to Hastings and Graham Classification System for Heterotopic Ossification at the Elbow Joint.

What is being measured

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

  1. serum uric acid value

    The serum uric acid was measured by standard equipment in the laboratory

    Measured: the outcome of serum uric acid can acquire within half a day.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heterotopic Ossification, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 25 Apr 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 China. 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?

serum uric acid value (time frame: the outcome of serum uric acid can acquire within half a day.). 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 25 Apr 2019.
