What is the effectiveness of early intervention (DAIR day 10) versus usual care (nonsurgical treatment) in patients with
persistent wound leakage? Primary endpoint will be revision surgery for PJI up to one year.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
RATIONALE:
Persistent wound leakage after primary Total Knee or Hip Arthroplasty (TKA/THA) is associated with Prosthetic Joint Infection
(PJI). More than 50,000 TKA/THA are performed yearly in the Netherlands. PJI is a serious complication with major implications
for a patient’s quality of life and costs are high (± € 30,000). Clinical practice for the treatment of persistent wound leakage
varies considerably, with both nonsurgical or surgical treatment options. The dilemma is that not all postoperative prolonged
wound leakages are a proxy for PJI. So far literature shows no evidence for the superiority of either treatment.
OBJECTIVE RESEARCHQUESTION:
To determine clinical and cost effectiveness and impact on quality of life of early intervention (DAIR on day 10) versus usual
care (nonsurgical treatment) in patients with persistent wound leakage.
HYPOTHESIS:
Early intervention reduces 50% revision surgery for PJI =1 year compared to usual care.
STUDY DESIGN:
A randomized controlled trial comparing two clinical pathways.
STUDY POPULATION/DATASETS:
Patients aged 18 or older who have undergone a TKA/THA and experience persistent wound leakage at day 9.
INTERVENTION:
Surgical treatment: DAIR on day 10, cleaning of wound and prosthesis, cultures and AB.
USUAL CARE/COMPARISON:
Nonsurgical treatment: bed rest, stop exercise, pressure bandage.
OUTCOME MEASURES:
Primary outcome: reduction in revision surgeries for PJI =1 year after TKA/THA. Secondary outcomes: number of DAIRs, costs,
and disease-specific and general health-related quality of life.
SAMPLE SIZE CALCULATION/DATA ANALYSIS:
The expected reduction rate of revision surgery for PJI as a result of early intervention is estimated at 50%. The numbers needed from inclusion are 194 in each arm, compensating with 20% for lost to follow-up (alpha 0.05, power 80% one-sided).
COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS/BUDGET IMPACT ANALYSIS:
Cost-effectiveness analysis (costs per prevented revision surgery for PJI), cost-utility analysis from a societal perspective (costs
per QALY) and a probabilistic Budget Impact Analysis will be conducted.
TIME SCHEDULE:
The LEAK study is prepared between 1-9 and 31-12-16; patients inclusion will be from 1-1-17 to 1-1-18 with a maximum
extension of six months. Data analysis will finish within 6 months of completion of the last follow-up patient. Total study length is
3 years.
Doel van het onderzoek
Surgical treatment (DAIR on day 10) will result in a 50% reduction rate of revision for PJI up to one year after primary TKA/THA compared to nonsurgical treatment. Consequently surgical treatment is more (cost) effective compared to nonsurgical treatment. DAIR on day 10 will result in improvement of disease-specific and general health-related quality of life compared to nonsurgical treatment.
