NCT02982785 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: FYS002
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 364
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 2

Brief Summary

The aim is to assess if physiotherapists attending inpatients at elective orthopaedic wards can predict the future course (post hospitalisation) of recovery of patients undergoing KA. The prediction is made at hospital discharge using a 1-10 numerical rating scale (1=poor prognosis; 10=best prognosis). To identify candidate prognostic factors, the therapist are asked to qualify their prognosis narratively, by listing at least 3-5 factors that they consider important for their projected prognosis score. There will be no maximum number of factors the physiotherapist can list.

Study Population

Patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for treatment of knee osteoarthritis. All patients from december 2016 to december 2017 will be invited to participate. If it is not possible to reach the set sample size within the set timeframe, recruitment will continue until the numbers specified in the a priori sample size calculation are reached. Should the set sample size be reached ahead of time, recruitment will stop.
