Uitkomstmaten
Primaire uitkomstmaten
The primary outcome is the % of patients undergoing primary elective total hip or knee arthroplasty in which EPO or blood salvage is applied.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Hospital-clustered RCT comparing a tailored de-implementation intervention with no intervention in 20 hospitals to change the blood management behavior of orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists.
Doel van het onderzoek
This study aims to change the blood management behavior of orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists in primary elective total hip and knee arthroplasties, using a tailored intervention strategy for de-implementation of EPO and blood salvage.
The hypothesis is that the intervention results in an absolute decrease of 20% in patients receiving EPO or blood salvage in comparison to usual care (control intervention).
Onderzoeksopzet
Because the alternative study design, the measurement points are not patient-related but predetermined.
The measurement points are: 1st August to 31 December 2013 baseline. October 1st 2014 to February 28th 2015 follow-up.
The months in between: January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2014 form the intervention period.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
- Interactive education aimed at orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists
- Feedback in an educational outreach visit aimed at orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists
- Dissemination and reports on hospital performance/ best practices aimed at orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists
- Information letter/ email aimed at other involved professionals (transfusion committee, OR-personnel, pharmacists).
