NCT ID: NCT05932823 Completed - Clinical trials for Hip Prosthesis Infection

Does the Type of Ventilation Affect the Risk for Infections After Hip Replacements?

Start date: January 1, 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Background: During hip replacement surgery, there is a risk that bacteria in the operating room can cause an infection. To try and reduce this risk, some operating rooms use a special system called laminar airflow (LAF), which reduces the number of bacteria in the air. However, it's not clear if LAF is better than the older system, called turbulent airflow (TAF), for preventing infections. Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the two airflow systems and see if LAF is better at preventing infections after hip replacement surgery. Methods: Information from a database containing all hip replacement surgeries done in Denmark between 2010 and 2020 is examined. The number of infections that occur in surgeries done with LAF, which reduces the number of bacteria in the air during surgery, is compared to the number of infections that occur in surgeries done with TAF. To make the results more credible, the data from the hip register was combined with data from the bacterial cultures taken during surgery. Use and relevance: Infections after hip replacement surgery can be very serious and expensive to treat. Hospitals need to choose the best airflow system to help prevent these infections. This study is important because it gives more accurate information about which system is better at preventing infections and can help hospitals make better choices when they are designing or renovating operating rooms.

NCT ID: NCT03161990 Completed - Clinical trials for Arthroplasty Complications

DAIR for Infected Total Hip Arthroplasty - Does the Operative Approach Influence the Functional Result?

Start date: April 23, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The functional outcome and quality of life after treatment for an infected hip arthroplasty have been found to be significantly worse compared to an uncomplicated arthroplasty. However, the type of revision surgery chosen to treat the infection plays a role for the functional outcome. The concept of DAIR (debridement, antibiotics and implant retention) has been shown to yield god results with respect to infection control in cases of early infection with a stable implant and better functional results than a to-stage revision. In patients where infection control was achieved after just one DAIR procedure the functional outcome was comparable to an uncomplicated primary arthroplasty. However, it is not known if the operative approach used for the primary and revision surgery plays a role for the functional result after treatment of an infected total hip arthroplasty with DAIR. The project's aim is to investigate if the choice of the operative approach (transgluteal or posterior) for the primary hip replacement and the revision surgery has an influence on the functional result after debridement and implant retention for an infected total hip replacement.

NCT ID: NCT02660268 Completed - Clinical trials for Hip Prosthesis Infection

Contribution of a Clinical Pathway for the Treatment of Hip Prosthesis Infections

OSCAR-PH
Start date: March 21, 2016
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The main objective is to determine the contribution of a clinical pathway to improve the effectiveness of medico-surgical management of hip prosthesis infections in terms of clinical cure. The hypothesis raised is that the implementation of a clinical pathway would improve the performance of the medical and surgical management of chronic infections of prosthetic hip.

NCT ID: NCT01963520 Completed - Clinical trials for Hip Prosthesis Infection

Prosthetic Hip Infections: Prospective Study

PHIPS
Start date: August 2, 2002
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Data from large prospective cohort studies of prosthetic joint infections are lacking. Aim of this study: analyzing prospectively the incidence of reinfection in patients with prosthetic hip infections who underwent surgery and received antibiotic therapy. Hypothesis: to confirm in a large group that the incidence of reinfection after excision -synovectomy in acute prosthesis hip infection is 30% and 15% for chronic infection after exchange arthroplasty (one or two stage exchange).
