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 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All adult patients whom have a primary hip or knee arthroplasty and are registered in the national joint implant registry (LROI) between 2011 and 2014. Those patients will be followed until they are revised (irrespectively of the indication), they died or the end-point of the study, i.e. end of 2015 (to allow at least one year follow-up for those operated late 2014).

Who may be able to join

  • All adult patients whom have a primary hip or knee arthroplasty and are registered in the national joint implant registry (LROI) between 2011 and 2014

Who cannot join

  • Patients aged under 18.
  • Patients with no primary procedure recorded in the LROI for the period of interest but records of revision surgeries will be excluded.

About this study

Official title: Single Shot Versus Multiple Shot Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Primary Joint Arthroplasty of the Hip and Knee, Comparison of Different Prophylaxis Regimes on the Risk of Revision for Infection

A retrospective study will be performed to compare the incidence of revision procedures performed for the treatment of postoperative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) between patients treated with a single preoperative antibiotic prophylaxis and patients treated with multiple shot antibiotic prophylaxis following primary arthroplasty of hip or knee.

This study will be conducted in two phases. In phase 1 the investigators will evaluate which antibiotic prophylaxes (type of antibiotic and duration of prophylaxis) are regularly used in the Netherlands, by contacting all orthopaedic centres implanting total hip and total knee prostheses. In phase 2 the investigators will compare infection rate (defined as revision for infection as registered in the LROI database) between a single-shot and multiple shot antibiotic prophylaxis.

Knee and hip primary arthroplasties will be considered separately.

Read the detailed description

In phase 1 of this study all Dutch hospitals and clinics performing hip and/or knee arthroplasty will be contacted to supply data concerning type and duration of antibiotic prophylaxis. The investigators will also ask whether debridement with implant retention for early infection is registered in the LROI. The investigators will ask permission to have access to unblended data on institutional level to be able to connect the type of antibiotic prophylaxis to outcome.

In phase 2 the investigators will include all adult patients whom have a primary hip or knee arthroplasty and are registered in the national joint implant registry (LROI) between 2011 and 2016.Those patients will be followed until they are revised (irrespectively of the indication), they died or the end-point of the study, i.e. end of 2016 (to allow at least one year follow-up for those operated late 2015).

Exclusion criteria are patients aged under 18. Patients with no primary procedure recorded in the LROI for the period of interest but records of revision surgeries will be excluded.

The investigators will compare the results found in the LROI database in two groups for both hip and knee arthroplasties. Group one will consist of patients receiving a single shot antibiotic prophylaxis, while group two will consist of patients receiving multiple shot antibiotic prophylaxis.

Analyses will be adjusted for known and available confounders such as age, gender, BMI, and ASA score.

In the LROI debridement without exchange of mobile parts for early infection, is only scarcely reported. The authors realise not all early infection treatments, such as debridement with or without exchange of mobile parts, are registered in the LROI database.

Study groups in NCT03348254
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
1Group one will consist of patients receiving a single shot antibiotic prophylaxis preoperatively before primary arthroplasty of hip or knee
Receives: Drug: Single shot antibiotic prophylaxis
2Group two will consist of patients receiving multiple shot antibiotic prophylaxis perioperatively before and after primary arthroplasty of hip or knee
Receives: Drug: Multiple shot antibiotic prophylaxis

What is being measured

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

  1. Revision arthroplasty because of infection

    Revision of the hip or knee prosthesis because of infection within one year after primary surgery

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip and Arthroplasty, Replacement, Knee, run by Onze Lieve Vrouwe Gasthuis at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 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 27 Mar 2019. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Revision arthroplasty because of infection (time frame: one 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 NCT03348254, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 27 Mar 2019.
