Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to:

  • Create a database including a description of the patient population that undergoes total hip replacement with special emphasis on orthopedic and cardiovascular complications and the quality of life 1 year postoperatively.
  • Characterise the patient at risk for the above mentioned events
  • Create methods for predicting patients at risk for short-term (90 days) and long term (1 year) complications in relation to hip replacement surgery.

Detailed Description

Introduction:

Total hip replacement surgery is a standard procedure, which has been shown to be both cost-effective and to give the patient a pain free daily living. Since Sir Charnley made total hip replacement a standard procedure millions of hips have been implanted.

In Denmark about 100 out of 100.000 did get a hip replacement operation in 2001(DHAR).

When a patient with a painful hip due to arthrosis, arthritis, fracture sequelae and other reasons, is offered a total hip replacement, several issues are taken into consideration: concurrent diseases, bone quality, age, life expectancy, prosthesis type, operation methods etc.

In the elderly patient a thorough medical evaluation is performed in order to minimise the intraoperative risc for cardiopulmonary morbidity. Nearly all patients in Denmark (over 99%) are getting thromboprophylaxis during the hospital stay to minimise cardiovascular complications.
