About this study

Official title: "Change in Transfusion Rates of Patients Undergoing Elective Total Hip Replacement Before/After the Implementation of a Peri-operative Patient Blood Management Program: a Retrospective Observational Study.

Retrospective observational study: impact of a peri-operative patient blood management program (PBM) on transfusion rates of patients undergoing elective hip replacement.

Read the detailed description

A Patient Blood Management (PBM) program was implemented in year 2019 in our institution: patient scheduled for elective total hip replacement underwent pre-operative screening about one month before surgery, and those with pre-operative hemoglobin < 13 g/dl were screened for possible causes and treatment of anemia.

Data from two different time frames, before and after the implementation of the program, were collected to study the change in clinical outcomes such as transfusion rates, length of stay, etc.

What participants receive

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

  • evaluation by transfusion medicine specialistCombination product

    screening for anemia causes and treatment: iron/folate/vitamin B12 supplementation, Erythropoietin administration if indicated

Study groups in NCT04398238
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Pre-PBMpatients screened for surgery before the implementation of PBM program: pre-operative evaluation and treatment according to usual care
post-PBMpatients screened for surgery after the implementation of PBM program (3 months allowed for training/optimization): all patients with pre-operative hemoglobin < 13g/dl undergo screening for causes and treatment as needed.
Receives: Combination Product: evaluation by transfusion medicine specialist

What is being measured

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

  1. transfusion rates

    percentage of patients undergoing hip replacement who receive at least one unit of concentrated red cells during or after surgery

    Measured: from day of surgery till day of discharge, up to 60 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. minimum hemoglobin

    minimum hemoglobin reached after surgery

    Measured: from day of surgery till day of discharge, up to 60 days

  2. hemoglobin at discharge

    last measured hemoglobin before discharge from hospital

    Measured: from day of surgery till day of discharge, up to 60 days

  3. length of stay

    total days of hospital stay from admission to discharge

    Measured: from day of surgery till day of discharge, up to 60 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Anemia (Diagnosis) and Iron-deficiency, run by Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli at 1 site in Italy.

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 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 30 May 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

transfusion rates (time frame: from day of surgery till day of discharge, up to 60 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04398238, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 30 May 2023.
