About this study

Official title: Projected Prognosis as a Predictor of Short-term Outcome After Treatment of Minor Musculoskeletal Injuries in the Emergency Department: A Prospective Cohort Study

This study describes the caseload treated by the extended scope physiotherapists(ESP) working in the emergency department at Slagelse Hospital.

Patients treated by the ESP during a 3 month period will be included in this study.

Furthermore we aim to assess if ESPs treating patients with minor musculoskeletal injuries in the ED can predict the short-term prognosis of recovery. The prediction is made at hospital discharge using a (-7/+7) numerical rating scale (-7=poor prognosis; 7=best prognosis).

What is being measured

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

  1. Transition ratings of global perceived effect

    Using a transition questionnaire (TRANS-Q) the perceived effect of treatment will be measured by participants answering if their current health status is "unchanged", "worse" or "better" compared to their pre-injury status. "unchanged" equals a transition score of 0. If the participant answers "worse", he/she is asked to rate the degree of worsening on a 7 point Likert scale, with corresponding scores ranging from -1 to -7. If the participant answers "better", he/she is asked to rate the degree of improvement on a 7 point Likert scale, with corresponding scores ranging from 1 to 7. Thus the GPE score range from -7 (worsening) to 7 (improvement), with the mid-point - 0 - representing no change.

    Measured: 1 month after discharge

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Patient Acceptable Symptom State

    Measured: 1 month after discharge

  2. EuroQoL questionnaire

    Measured: 1 month after discharge

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Musculoskeletal Diseases, run by Slagelse 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 3 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 18 Jan 2020. 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?

Transition ratings of global perceived effect (time frame: 1 month after discharge). 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 18 Jan 2020.
