About this study

Official title: Are Postoperative Complications More Frequent When Patients Having a Hip Fracture Have a Patent Foramen Ovale ?

Ereth et al. showed in 1992, using transesophageal echocardiography, that the implantation of a hip prosthesis may be complicated by intracardiac embolization of various origin.

A patent foramen ovale exists in approximately one fifth of the population; it facilitates the passage of embolus from the right heart to the left one and then especially to the coronary vessels and to the brain.

The hypothesis supported in this research is that the prevalence of postoperative complications, especially neurological ones, is increased after surgery for hip fracture when patients have a patent foramen ovale.

What participants receive

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

Receives: Device: Transthoracic echocardiography

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with postoperative complications probably related to the presence of a patent foramen ovale

    Complications probably related to the presence of a patent foramen ovale

    Measured: First postoperative week

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number of participants with postoperative complications probably not related to the presence of a patent foramen ovale

    Complications probably not related to the presence of a patent foramen ovale

    Measured: First postoperative week

  2. Number of days before walking without help

    Measured: One year

  3. Number of days at home during the first postoperative year

    Number of days of stay at home

    Measured: one year

  4. Mortality

    Measured: Three months and one year

Timeline

From the start of the study to its completion; the mark is today. Estimated dates are the sponsor’s plan.

  1. First posted30 Sep 2015 (estimated)
  2. Study startJun 2013
  3. Primary completion26 Apr 2017
  4. Study completion26 Apr 2017

Why it stopped: We have discovered a too low prevalence of Patent Foramen Ovale compared to the theoretical % of around 20-25%.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transthoracic echocardiography in people with Hip Fractures, run by Hopital Foch at 2 sites in France.

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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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 (reason given: We have discovered a too low prevalence of Patent Foramen Ovale compared to the theoretical % of around 20-25%.). 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?

Number of participants with postoperative complications probably related to the presence of a patent foramen ovale (time frame: First postoperative week). 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 9 Aug 2017.
