Trial summary

Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a common cause for reoperation after knee and hip arthroplasty surgery. Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) is recommended in early infections (< 4 weeks) and stable implants. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Danderyd Hospital is a university hospital affiliated with the Karolinska Institute and is one of the four emergency hospitals in Stockholm, with a catchment area of approximately 500.000 inhabitants. The index cohort was extracted from the local in-hospital surgery database at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery using ICD 10 coding and surgical intervention coding for PJI treatment.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients treated with DAIR for early postoperative periprosthetic joint infection after knee- or hip arthroplasty surgery (<4-6 weeks postoperatively) at our institution between 2007-01-01 and 2012-12-01.

Who cannot join

  • Chronic or late presenting periprosthetic joint infection (>6 weeks postoperatively), acute hematogenous periprosthetic joint infection, when the periprosthetic joint infection diagnosis criteria according to American Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) 2011 definition of PJI definitions were not fulfilled and when the initial surgical treatment was with other treatment protocol than DAIR including one-stage revision and two -stage revision

About this study

Introduction: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a common cause for reoperation after knee and hip arthroplasty surgery. Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) is recommended in early infections (< 4 weeks) and stable implants. Aims: To define the success rate of DAIR in early infections and to identify predictors for success. Material and methods: In a retrospective cohort study we included patients with hip- or knee arthroplasties reoperated for an early PJI at Danderyd Hospital 2007-2012. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors affecting success rate. Primary outcome variable was the success of the DAIR treatment. Secondary outcome variable vas risk factors for treatment failure.

What participants receive

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

  • Debridement, antibiotics and implant retentionProcedure or surgery

    DAIR treatment protocol embodies an extensive surgical debridement and a radical excision of infected tissue. This is followed by exchange of modular components (articulating surfaces of the implant such as the femoral head, acetabular liner in total hip arthroplasty and the tibial insert, the polyethylene meniscus, in total knee arthroplasty). The wound is then copiously irrigated (> 9 litre) with 0.9 % sodium chloride and then closed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Successful treatment

    The success rate, in terms of infection eradication without additional surgical methods, of debridement, antibiotics and implant retention in early postoperative periprosthetic joint infection..

    Measured: 6 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Risk factors for treatment failure

    Analyze of potential risk factors for treatment failure, age, gender, comorbidities i.e type 1 or 2 diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, dementia, systemic inflammatory disease, local or systemic infection, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, virulence of infecting microbial, hospital stay, typ of arthroplasty, revision arthroplasty, and administration of antibiotics prior to debridement, antibiotics and implant retention treatment.

    Measured: 6 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Direct Infection of Hip- and Knee Arthroplasty, run by Danderyd Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

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.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2014. 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 Sweden. 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?

Successful treatment (time frame: 6 year). 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 NCT02087020, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 14 Mar 2014.
