About this study

Measurement of thrombogenic properties by TEG and MEA and observation of thrombotic events over 2 years in 220 patients with hip fracture.

Read the detailed description

Patients with proximal femur fracture have high incidences of thrombotic events. By the two "bed-side" methods TEG (Thrombelastography) and MEA (Multiple Electrode Aggregometry), the thrombogenic properties of 220 patients with proximal femur fracture will be measured at time of hospital admission and 4 times over a period of 6 months postoperatively, and the patients will be followed in a total length of 2 years to register thrombotic events.

What is being measured

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

  1. Measurements of thrombogenic properties by TEG (Maximum Amplitude) and MEA (Units) and thrombotic events in 220 patients with Hip Fracture.

    Thrombogenic properties measured by TEG (different measurements as "MA") and MEA (measured as "U") 6 months after operation for hip fracture and clinical thrombotic events over 24 months

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Measurements of thrombogenic properties by TEG (Maximum Amplitude) and MEA (Units) in 220 patients with Hip Fracture.

    Measurements of thrombogenic properties by TEG and MEA in 220 patients patients with Hip Fracture to investigate any correlation between the two Methods and anti-fXa titer.

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Measurements of thrombogenic properties by TEG (Maximum amplitude) and MEA (Units)) in the 100 patients with Hip Fracture and thrombotic complications

    Measurements of thrombogenic properties by TEG and MEA (in the first) 100 patients with Hip Fracture and .

    Measured: 6 months

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Norway. 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 was stopped early. Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Measurements of thrombogenic properties by TEG (Maximum Amplitude) and MEA (Units) and thrombotic events in 220 patients with Hip Fracture. (time frame: 24 months). 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 NCT02475187, which also lists 11 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 15 Apr 2021.
