What participants receive

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

  • Total Elbow ReplacementDevice

    Total elbow replacement is a procedure that involves replacing the elbow joint with an implanted device to alleviate pain and improve function.

What is being measured

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

  1. The incidence of total elbow replacement (TER) in England

    The number and age-sex standardised rate of TER for different sexes, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds.

    Measured: Yearly (1 year) incidence for a 10 year period

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Serious adverse events or re-admissions

    Serious adverse events will be defined as any severe medical complications leading to hospital admission, including pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, lower respiratory tract infection, acute kidney injury, urinary tract infection, cerebrovascular events, and all-cause death.

    Measured: 30 and 90 days after the index TER

  2. Duration of elective wait

    The number of days between the decision for total elbow replacement and the actual day of surgery

    Measured: Up to 10 years period

  3. Post-operative duration of stay

    The number of days from the time of surgery until discharge from the hospital

    Measured: Up to 10 years period

  4. Surgeon volume

    Number of TERs performed by a surgeon per year by surgeons in England

    Measured: 10 year (2012 to 2022)

  5. Hospital volume

    Number of TERs performed by a hospital per year by surgeons in England

    Measured: 10 year (2012 to 2022)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Total Elbow Replacement, run by University of Manchester at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. 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?

The incidence of total elbow replacement (TER) in England (time frame: Yearly (1 year) incidence for a 10 year period). 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 NCT06355011, 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?
