  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All adults greater than 18 years undergoing total knee arthroplasty from January 2016 to December 2017 at Aga Khan University were included in this study. A standardized proforma was used to collect data from online patient data system about patients' preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative details. Preoperative data included age, gender, and comorbid conditions. Intraoperative data was collected from the surgical and anaesthesia records and included surgical site, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Level, duration of surgery, preoperative body temperature, intraoperative body temperature and duration of surgery. Postoperative data included post-operative body temperature and whether the patient developed any surgical site infection.

Who may be able to join

  • All adults greater than 18 years who underwent total knee arthroplasty.

Who cannot join

  • Any patient below 18 years

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgical Site Infection (SSI)

    Post-operative infection caused total knee arthroplasty

    Measured: 2016-2017

  2. Post-operative hypothermia

    Body temperature after surgery when patient is in the recovery room.

    Measured: Within an hour after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Knee Arthroplasty, Total and Hypothermia, run by Aga Khan University.

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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

Surgical Site Infection (SSI) (time frame: 2016-2017). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04575246, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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?
