Azienda Ospedaliera Bolognini di Seriate Bergamo

Status: Unknown

Conditions: Total Hip Replacement; Blood Loss

Treatments: Procedure: Total hip arthroplasty, blood loss analysis

Study type: Observational

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

NCT02750852

Blood algorithm

Details and patient eligibility

About

Aim of these study is to create an algorithm, using data from patients that undergoing total hip arthroplasty, to predict blood loss after surgery and permit a safe domestic discharge.

Full description

Two different cohorts of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty will be analyzed to obtain data about hemoglobin trends. The first group will be used to obtain the algorithm, the second one to validate results of the first group, determining sensitivity and specificity.

Enrollment: 124 patients

Sex: All

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria
