Validation of registry data after total hip arthroplasties
Oönskade händelser efter höftproteskirurgi
Responsible: Olof Sköldenberg
Introduction
INTRODUCTION
This study has 2 independent aims: 1. Explore an alternative quality-of-healthcare measure associated with recognized adverse events 2. Validating PAR-data regarding dislocations after total hip arthroplasties.
ADVERSE EVENTS: Identifying adverse events is of great importance for improving health care and lowering overall health care costs. Adverse events in medical practice are fairly common, expected around 3-15 % and are sometimes perhaps even more common in orthopaedics. The golden standard for identifying adverse events is chart review by trained nurses. Being costly and hard to use continuously other methods for identifying adverse events have been developed. Another possible indicator of adverse events is readmission within 90 days. Readmissions have been linked to shorter length of stayindicating that there is a relation between the primary stay and the readmission.
WORK:In the study you will identify Adverse events following total hip arthroplasty and validate these against registry data.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The study is part of a large projekt involving Danderyds sjukhus, Ortopediska kliniken, Svenska Höftprotesregistret, Socialstyrelsen, Landstingens Ömsesidiga Förskringsbolag och Statistiska Centralbyrån. Projektet kommer otvetydligt att leda till publikation och kan vara det första steget i ett doktorandprojekt. Jag letar efter upp till 2 studenter som vill ingå i projektet.
