Trial summary

In the elderly patients with hip fracture, some often take antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel due to the ischemic cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. In traditional practice, these patients often need to stop medication for 5-7 days before surgery. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Effectiveness of Clopidogrel Withdrawal Time Guided by Thromboelastography in Elderly Patients With Hip Fracture

In the elderly patients with hip fracture, some often take antiplatelet drugs such as clopidogrel due to the ischemic cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases. In traditional practice, these patients often need to stop medication for 5-7 days before surgery. But on the other hand, delayed surgery will lead to a significant increase in fracture related complications. Therefore, the appropriate time for drug withdrawal is particularly important in this population.

Thromboelastography is a monitoring method that can accurately judge the anticoagulation status of patients. We hope to use thromboelastography to guide the time of drug withdrawal, shorten the time of drug withdrawal as much as possible, and reduce the incidence of fracture related complications without increasing the risk of massive hemorrhage.

What participants receive

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

  • Thrombelastograph and surgical timingProcedure or surgery

    Patients in the TEG group will undergo a Thrombelastograph test after admission, and the timing of operation will be determined according to the results of the test, that is, 1 day, 3 days and 5 days later respectively for patients with ADP-induced platelet-fibrin clot strength (MAADP) of > 50 mm, 30-50 mm and < 30 mm. For Non-TEG patients, the drug withdrawal time is determined by the doctor in charge according to the clinical routine, generally about one week.

What is being measured

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

  1. Estimated red blood cell loss

    The amount of red blood cell loss estimated by blood routine changes

    Measured: From admission when the first blood routine will be obtained to discharge when the last blood routine will be obtained, up to postoperative day 7.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Blood transfusion

    Red blood cell infusion volume

    Measured: From admission when the first blood routine will be obtained to discharge when the last blood routine will be obtained, up to postoperative day 7.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Thrombelastograph and surgical timing in people with Hip Fracture, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Nov 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Min Yan, Doctor (+86-13757118632, zryanmin@zju.edu.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Estimated red blood cell loss (time frame: From admission when the first blood routine will be obtained to discharge when the last blood routine will be obtained, up to postoperative day 7.). 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 18 Nov 2019.
