Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Prospective Study to Evaluate Long-term Clinical Outcomes of the GTS Cementless Femoral Stem (NCT NCT02851992)

NCT ID: NCT02851992

Last Updated: 2023-12-01

Results Overview

Harris Hip Score (HHS) tests will be carried out pre-operatively and at each follow-up period. The HHS covers four domains: pain (one item, 0-44 points), function and functional activities (seven items, 0-47 points), absence of deformity (one item, 0-4 points) and range of motion (one item, 0-5 points). To obtain a final score, the points are summed. The minimum and maximum values of the scale are 0-100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome. The outcome score can be categorized as Excellent: 90-100; Good: 80-90; Fair: 70-80; Poor: \< 70.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: pre-operatively and 2 years post-operatively

Population: The HHS was developed for the assessment of the results of hip surgery, and is intended to evaluate various hip disabilities and methods of treatment in an adult population. The domains covered are pain, function, absence of deformity, and range of motion. The score has a maximum of 100 points.

Harris Hip Score (HHS) tests will be carried out pre-operatively and at each follow-up period. The HHS covers four domains: pain (one item, 0-44 points), function and functional activities (seven items, 0-47 points), absence of deformity (one item, 0-4 points) and range of motion (one item, 0-5 points). To obtain a final score, the points are summed. The minimum and maximum values of the scale are 0-100, with a higher score indicating a better outcome.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: pre-operatively and 2 years post-operatively

Population: per-protocol population (number of subjects who completed the questionnaire were included in the analysis)

EQ-5D quality of life score will be taken at every follow-up clinic and by postal questionnaire when patients are not attending a clinic. The EQ-5D is a standardized instrument widely used to measure health status. The questionnaire includes 5 questions referring to mobility, self-care, daily activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each question can be answered in five ways, indicating no, slight, moderate, severe problems or inability to complete the task. Scores will be within the range of 0-1 with 1 corresponding to perfect health.
