About this study

Official title: The Utility of Mobile Based Patient Reported Outcome Measures(PROMS) in Patients With Acetabular Fractures: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Acetabular fractures are articular fractures involving the hip joint that needs anatomical reduction and a strict long follow up after fixation.

Read the detailed description

The percentage of patients with lost follow up is significantly high. Previously all other studies mainly focused on the radiographic outcome after acetabular fractures and rarely on patient reported functional outcomes and quality of life. The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) is increasing and may lead to modifications of treatment. Recent technologic advances, namely smartphones, capable of measuring outcomes after acetabular fractures are now very important in quantifying value-based care. This was previously accomplished through office assessments and surveys with variable follow-up but this strategy lacks continuous and complete data. Studies show that these remote modes of follow-up are safe and that patients are as equally satisfied with them as they are with in-person follow- up care

What participants receive

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

  • Mobile applicationOther

    telemedicine is used to overcome distance when patients must travel to receive specialized care. We depend on the available, widely used smartphones via a mobile application to conduct follow up data as regard to patient quality of life and comparing this to conventional follow up visits and whether it help to obtain a complete follow up data

What is being measured

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

  1. the percentage of missed follow up data in both groups at 12 months postoperatively

    through assessing the patient-reported outcome measures (PROMS) after surgery for a fracture of the acetabulum in assiut university hospital using the Arabic validated form of the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).

    Measured: at least one year follow up

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. the ability of the mobile application to rapidly detect the occurrence of serious postoperative complication.

    to record the ability of the mobile application to rapidly detect the occurrence of serious postoperative complication as infection and DVT and notify us by this complication by means of the Red Flag signs which will be added to the application.

    Measured: at least one year follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Mobile application in people with Acetabular Fracture and PROMs, run by Assiut University.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2020. 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?

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?

the percentage of missed follow up data in both groups at 12 months postoperatively (time frame: at least one year follow up). 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 19 May 2020.
