A clinical registry to monitor outcomes of shoulder, hip and knee pathology
Prospective collection of outcomes data for orthopaedic surgeies performed at a public hospital
QEII Jubilee Hospital
2,500 participants
Jul 28, 2017
Observational
Conditions
Summary
To collect patient outcome data into a database that allows research to be generated. This occurs by identifying trends, systematically recognising unexpected outcomes from surgical techniques and allowing hypothesis generation to be tested in a retrospective manner.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria3
- Diagnosed with orthopaedic shoulder, hip or knee pathology in one of the identified cohorts.
- Undergoing treatment by one of the participating orthopaedic consultant surgeons as a public patient at QEII Jubilee Hospital.
- Consenting to being part of the research registry
Exclusion Criteria2
- Patient-reported outcomes: Clinically diagnosed mental/neurological illness (indicated on GP referral, or identified through secondary referral to psychiatric/neurological specialist) that precludes retrieval of patient feedback via interview, paper or electronic questionnaire (e.g., schizophrenia, dementia, Alzheimer's Disease, personality disorder).
- Revocation of consent for research use of personal data.

Interventions
Patients presenting with pathologies of the shoulder, hip or knee and treated by specialist orthopaedic surgeons. Follow-up protocols will be unchanged from the surgeons usual clinical practice for the procedures being monitored. That is, no special treatment will be assigned to the participating patient. At the time of surgery, operative details will be added to the database. The database allows the extraction of patient information that allows research to be conducted. Baseline clinical measurements and outcomes scores (identified in this trial) will be collected for up to five years. 1. Patients diagnosed with either a recent shoulder dislocation or clinically defined glenohumeral instability: Treated with non-operative management or surgical stabilisation. 2. Patients diagnosed with rotator cuff pathology (tendinopathy; tear): Treated with non-operative management or surgical repair. 3. Patients diagnosed with glenohumeral arthritis of any aetiology: Treated with non-operative management, arthroscopic surgery or total shoulder arthroplasty. 4. Patients diagnosed with hip arthritis of any aetiology: Treated surgically (total joint arthroplasty). 5. Patients diagnosed with knee arthritis of any aetiology: Treated surgically (total joint arthroplasty). 6. Patients diagnosed with either a recent ACL Rupture or clinically defined knee instability: Treated with surgical reconstruction. 7. Patients diagnosed with arthritis primarily affecting one compartment (medial or lateral) with no patellofemoral involvement: Treated with osteotomy.
