Trial Outcomes & Findings for Dermabond PRINEO for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (NCT NCT03860181)

NCT ID: NCT03860181

Last Updated: 2021-10-01

Results Overview

Closure cost was calculated by evaluating the cost of wound closure products ($) per patient, plus the cost of the operating room ($) per minute, multiplied by the closure time (minutes) per centimeter of incision length, then multiplied by the average incision length (cm) per patient.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 3 months post-operatively

Population: Arms were regrouped to reflect the patient and surgeon scores for each intervention. Participants who had adverse events before the conclusion of the study were excluded from this analysis, because outcome measures could not be collected.

POSAS scores can range from 1-10, where 1 is like normal skin, and 10 is worst scar imaginable, and has six components. Each component (range of 1-10) was summed up to get a final score (range of 6-60) for each participant. Differences were calculated as the participant's Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) score minus the physician POSAS score, with a negative difference signifying that the patients thought more highly of the scars than the physicians since lower POSAS scores are more favorable.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 3 months post surgery

Population: Participants who had adverse events before the conclusion of the study were excluded from this analysis, because outcome measures could not be collected.

Evaluation of the wound after surgery will be assessed according to the Modified Hollander Cosmesis Scale (0 to 6, with 0 being ideal) by an independent plastic surgeon.
