Evaluating Outcomes of Hip Preservation Surgeries

This study is observing the results of hip preservation surgeries, specifically Hip Arthroscopy, for conditions like femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), which is a problem with the shape of the hip bones. Researchers want to see if these surgeries improve hip function and reduce the need for future surgeries. You may be able to join if you are at least 12 years old and are a candidate for hip surgery. The study will measure success by tracking changes in your hip pain and function using questionnaires over several years. The current recruitment status is unclear, but the study plans to include about 10,000 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and collect data on about 10,000 patients undergoing hip preservation surgeries. It is not a randomized trial.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for up to 10 years after their surgery, with assessments at various points including 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years.

  • Change in Hip Outcome Score (iHOT-12)Baseline, 3 months post-operatively, 6 months post-operatively, 1 year post-operatively, 2 years post-operatively, 5 years post-operatively, and 10 years post-operatively

    iHOT-12 is a 12-item questionnaire scored using a visual analog scale from 0 to 100, with a score of 100 being the best function and least amount of symptoms, and the overall mean equates to the final iHOT score.

  • Change in Hip Outcome Score (HOS)Baseline, 3 months post-operatively, 6 months post-operatively, 1 year post-operatively, 2 years post-operatively, 5 years post-operatively, and 10 years post-operatively

    The HOS is a self-administered questionnaire with a scoring system composed of 2 sub-scales. The 19 item Activities of Daily Living (ADL) sub-scale and a 9 item Sports sub-scale. Both have a range of scores from 0 to 4, with 0 being 'unable to do' and 4, 'no difficulty'. N/A is also an option. The total score for each is multiplied by 4 with the highest potential ADL score bing no greater than 68 and the sports scale with the highest potential score being 36. An overall higher score from both sub-scales indicates a greater level of function.

  • Change in PROMIS questionnaire ScoreBaseline, 3 months post-operatively, 6 months post-operatively, 1 year post-operatively, 2 years post-operatively, 5 years post-operatively, and 10 years post-operatively

    PROMIS Physical function is a standardized computer adapted test which is able to quickly and effectively score patients on a scale of 0 (not able to function) to 100 (fully functional) based on their physical function. 100 would be a perfect score and 0 would be the worst possible score. Higher scores indicate better physical function.

  • Change in Sports Survey ScoreBaseline, 3 months post-operatively, 6 months post-operatively, 1 year post-operatively, 2 years post-operatively, 5 years post-operatively, and 10 years post-operatively

    The Chicago sports score asks athletes questions pertaining to their ability to return to sport. If they are able to return to sport it asks questions about their ability level since returning. Similarly, if they are not able to return to sport it asks questions regarding what has held them back. It is on a 100 point scale with 100 being the best possible outcome and 0 the lowest possible score. Higher scores indicate better ability to return to sports.

  • Change in Pain Score using a visual analog scale (VAS)Baseline, 3 months post-operatively, 6 months post-operatively, 1 year post-operatively, 2 years post-operatively, 5 years post-operatively, and 10 years post-operatively

    Participants will be asked to estimate their pain on a VAS from 0 to 10, where 0 is considered to be no pain at all and 10 is considered to be the worst possible pain.

  • Change in PROMIS Pain InterferenceBaseline, 3 months post-operatively, 6 months post-operatively, 1 year post-operatively, 2 years post-operatively, 5 years post-operatively, and 10 years post-operatively

    Participants will receive the PROMIS pain interference, physical function, and global health modules to assess quality of life, a commonly used general health quality of life assessment tool. PROMIS pain interference is a standardized computer adapted test which is able to quickly and effectively score patients on a scale of 0-100 based on how pain affects their day to day life. 100 would be a perfect score and 0 would be the worst possible score. Higher scores indicate less pain interference on quality of life.

  • Change in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Global-10Baseline, 3 months post-operatively, 6 months post-operatively, 1 year post-operatively, 2 years post-operatively, 5 years post-operatively, and 10 years post-operatively

    The PROMIS Global-10 is a 10-item patient-reported questionnaire that measures changes in general health in which the response options are presented as 5-point scale, 5 (without any difficulty) to 1 (Unable to do). Higher scores indicate a healthier patient.
