Study population: The data available for our study was collected between 2013 and 2017. The patient safety incidents studied are relatively rare, and in order to yield enough observations to reliably estimate the impact of different incidents, the sample is limited to patients undergoing hip or knee replacements because these have more observations than do varicose veins and groin hernia. There are 267,477 and 288,967 observations for patients undergoing hip replacement and knee replacement respectively. Furthermore, the sample is limited to patients with observations of health status both before and after surgery.

Who may be able to join

  • no

Who cannot join

  • Patients for which health related quality of life is not observed both before and after surgery.

About this study

This study estimates the impact of patient safety events on QoL in elective surgery patients using a secondary data set

Read the detailed description

Background: The burden of patient safety incidents (PSIs) is often characterised by their impact on mortality, morbidity and treatment costs. Few studies have attempted to estimate the impact of PSIs on patients' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and the studies that have made such estimates primarily focus on a narrow set of incidents. The aim of this paper is to estimate the impact of PSIs on HRQoL of patients undergoing elective surgery in England.

Materials and Methods: A unique linked longitudinal data set consisting of Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMS) for patients with hip and knee replacements linked to Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) collected between 2013/14 and 2016/17 is examined. Patients with any of nine US Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) PSI indicators are identified. HRQoL is measured using the general EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D) before and after surgery. Exploiting the longitudinal structure of the data, exact matching combined with difference in differences to estimate the impact of experiencing a PSI on HRQoL and its individual dimensions, comparing HRQoL improvements after surgery in similar patients with and without a PSI.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hip Fractures and Knee Fracture, run by Imperial College London at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jul 2022. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

EuroQual - 5 Dimensions (EQ5D) (time frame: 2013-17). 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 NCT05464771, 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 Jul 2022.
