Trial summary

Surgical site infection (SSI), particularly deep SSI, is one of the most serious complications after spinal surgery. evaluating the risk of SSI and, correspondingly, prescription of prophylactic measures are extremely important to prevent SSI and avoid potentially devastating consequences.

About this study

Official title: Predicting Deep Surgical Site Infection in Patients Receiving Open Posterior Instrumented Thoracolumbar Surgery--- A-DOUBLE-SSI Risk Score: a Large Retrospective Multicenter Cohort Study in China

Surgical site infection (SSI), particularly deep SSI, is one of the most serious complications after spinal surgery. evaluating the risk of SSI and, correspondingly, prescription of prophylactic measures are extremely important to prevent SSI and avoid potentially devastating consequences. A retrospective study was conducted aiming to develop a point-based prediction model of deep surgical site infection in patients receiving open posterior instrumented thoracolumbar surgery.

Read the detailed description

Data of 3,419 patients in 4 hospitals from Jan 1, 2012 to Dec 30, 2021 were retrospectively collected and were evaluated aiming to develop a point-based prediction model of deep surgical site infection in patients receiving open posterior instrumented thoracolumbar surgery. Clinical knowledge-driven, data-driven and decision tree model was used to identify predictive variables of deep SSI. Internal validation was performed by using bootstrapping methods.

Being tested
open posterior instrumented thoracolumbar surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. deep surgical site infection

    deep SSI was defined as an infection occurring within 30 days after the operation involving deep soft tissues along with one of the following criterion: (1)purulent drainage from the deep incision but not from the organ/space component of the surgical site;(2) a deep incision spontaneously dehisces or is deliberately opened by a surgeon when the patient has at least one of the following signs or symptoms: fever >38℃, localized pain, or tenderness, unless site is culture-negative;(3) an abscess or other evidence of infection involving the deep incision is found on direct examination, during reoperation, or by histopathologic or radiologic examination;(4) diagnosis of a deep incisional SSI by a surgeon or attending physician. In this study, organ space SSI was also classified as deep SSI due to the same criteria as deep SSI.

    Measured: within 30 days after the operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Deep Surgical Site Infection and Spine Surgery, run by Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing 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 1 inclusion and 6 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 4 Apr 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 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?

deep surgical site infection (time frame: within 30 days after the operation). 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 NCT05740865, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Apr 2023.
