About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Implementation of a Clinical Pathway for Improving the Performance of Medical and Surgical Management of Hip Prosthesis Infections

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.

Read the detailed description

The incidence of surgical site infections following the orthopedic surgery is about 1%. The number of prosthesis infections is estimated between 2000 and 2500 new cases a year in France.

Multiple medical and surgical care strategies are possible depending on the acute or chronic presentation, early or delayed antibiotic therapy; antibiotic therapy alone or associated with joint lavage, or with a prosthesis change in one or in two stages; after a long or short period of time, with or without fitting spacer. The practices are very heterogeneous for chronic infections depending on the terrain on which infection occurs and modalities of antibiotic therapy remain controversial. The treatment failure rate at 1 year is estimated at 20%.

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.

Objectives: 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 secondary objectives are: To evaluate medical and surgical practices in diagnosis and treatment of hip prosthesis infections; identify the success factors and therapeutic failure of medical and surgical supported hip prosthesis infections in terms of clinical cure; determining management of quality indicators.

Methods: The clinical path will be developed by a committee of experts from the national and international recommendations, a review of the literature focused on the prosthesis conservation strategies and audit practices at the University Hospital of Grenoble.

The clinical path will be evaluated by an interventional trial clustered with control group, randomized, stepped wedge (inclusion staggered in time in 4 X 3 months) with an evaluation at one year.

The study population will include all patients treated for hip prosthesis infection in hospitals participating in the Alps, in a period of 16 months.

The primary endpoint will be the clinical cure at one year, defined as the absence of clinical signs of infection, inflammatory syndrome (C-Reactive Protein <10 mg / L), and radiological signs of infection.

Analysis: The association between the primary endpoint and the introduction of a clinical path will be quantified by the odds ratio estimated using a logistic regression model with adjustment for baseline characteristics of patients and inclusion of non-independence of observations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Clinical Pathway in people with Hip Prosthesis Infection, run by University Hospital, Grenoble at 7 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 31 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 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 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?

Clinical cure at 1 year of initial medical management, defined by the absence of the clinical signs of infection, the inflammatory syndrome (C- Reactive Protein <10 mg / L) and the radiological signs of infection (time frame: 12 months). 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 31 May 2024.
