Comparison of infection rate (wound, urinary tract, other), use of antibiotic treatment and length of hospital stay

Study Overview

Brief Summary

Leukocyte depletion of autologous whole blood prior to storage does not reduce infection rate (wound, urinary tract, other), use of antibiotic treatment and length of hospital stay but may increase retransfusion perioperatively during hip arthroplasty and allogenic transfusion rate

Detailed Description

Informed Consent Form:

Prior to the first blood donation, in- and exclusion criteria should be tested. Then the patient is to inform by the investigator about the studies aim and participation conditions such as methods, risks, assurance, data security, etc. The patient and the investigator should sign the informed consent form.

Randomization:

If all inclusion criteria are well given and exclusion criteria are absent, the patient could be enrolled and randomized, prior to the first PAD. Enrollment is parallel in all centers until the final number of 1088 is reached. Breaking the seal of the provided randomization envelope with computerized randomization codes completes randomization. Time and date should be noted.
