About this study

Official title: Clinical Efficacy of Self-adhesive Silicone Gel Waterproof Dressings Versus Conventional Dressings in the Healing of Incisions After Total Joint Arthroplasty: a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial Study

The efficacy of using self-adhesive silicone gel waterproof dressings versus conventional gauze dressings for recovery after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) remains unclear. In our study, we conducted a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare these two types of dressings. Patients were divided into two groups following TJA, and we collected primary outcome measures such as skin infection rate and re-operation rate. Additionally, we gathered blood inflammatory indicators, including C-reactive protein (CRP) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), to evaluate the effectiveness of the two treatments. Finally, we perform one year follow up including REEDA score, MSS score to evaluate the recovery of the skin.

What is being measured

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

  1. Infection control rate

    Calculate the infection control rate in the two groups

    Measured: One month and three month after surgery

  2. Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge, and Approximation score (REEDA score)

    The REEDA score is a clinical tool used to assess the healing of perineal wounds and other skin wounds, particularly after childbirth. REEDA stands for Redness, Edema, Ecchymosis, Discharge, and Approximation. Each of these five parameters is scored on a scale from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms. The total REEDA score can range from 0 to 15.

    Measured: One day before surgery, three month after surgery

  3. Modified Severity Score (MSS)

    This score is often used in dermatology to evaluate the severity of conditions such as atopic dermatitis or other chronic skin disorders. The MSS score helps clinicians to quantify the extent and severity of skin involvement, aiding in treatment decisions and monitoring progress.

    Measured: One day before surgery, three month after surgery

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. X-ray

    X-ray of surgery site.

    Measured: One day before surgery and three months after surgery.

  2. American Knee Society Score (AKS score)

    American Knee Society Score is used to evaluate the outcomes of knee replacement surgery. This scoring system consists of two main components: the knee score and the function score.

    Measured: One day before surgery and three months after surgery.

  3. The Harris Hip Score (HHS)

    The Harris Hip Score (HHS) is a widely used clinical tool for assessing the outcomes of hip surgeries, particularly hip replacements. Developed by Dr. William Harris in 1969, it evaluates various aspects of hip function and pain to provide an overall score that reflects the patient's condition. The higher the score, the better the result is.

    Measured: One day before surgery and three months after surgery.

  4. Visual Analog Scale (VAS score)

    The VAS score, or Visual Analog Scale, is a tool commonly used to measure a person's level of pain. The VAS is a simple, subjective measure that consists of a straight line, typically 10 centimeters long, anchored by two endpoints. One end of the line represents "no pain" and the other end represents "worst pain imaginable." For example, if the VAS line is 10 cm long and the patient's mark is at 7 cm from the "no pain" end, their pain score would be 7 out of 10.

    Measured: One day before surgery and three months after surgery.

  5. Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)

    An enzyme found in the liver that helps convert proteins into energy. Elevated levels indicate liver damage. Normal range: 10 to 40 units per liter (U/L)

    Measured: One day before surgery and one day after surgery

  6. Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)

    An enzyme found in the liver and other tissues. High levels can indicate liver damage but are less specific than ALT. Normal range: 10 to 40 units per liter (U/L)

    Measured: One day before surgery and one day after surgery

  7. Serum Creatinine

    Measures the level of creatinine in the blood. Elevated levels can indicate impaired kidney function. Normal range: 62 to 115 micromoles per liter (µmol/L).

    Measured: One day before surgery and one day after surgery

  8. Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN)

    Measures the amount of nitrogen in the blood that comes from urea. Elevated BUN levels can indicate impaired kidney function. Normal range: 2.5 to 7.1 millimoles per liter (mmol/L).

    Measured: One day before surgery and one day after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Self-adhesive silicone gel waterproof dressing and Sterile gauze dressing in people with Self-adhesive Silicone Gel Waterproof Dressing and Gauze Dressing, run by First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical 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 4 inclusion and 15 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Jun 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Long Hua (+8615099182364, hualong_xmu@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Infection control rate (time frame: One month and three month after surgery). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 21 Jun 2024.
