Scientific title
Study acronymLDAWB2001
Study objectivesAdded as of 16/12/2008:
Leukocyte depletion of autologous whole blood prior to storage does not reduce infection rate (wound, urinary tract, other), use of antibiotic treatment and length of hospital stay but may increase retransfusion perioperatively during hip arthroplasty and allogenic transfusion rate.
Ethics approval(s)Not provided at time of registration
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedArthrosis of the hip
InterventionAutologous blood donation, storage either as leukocyte depleted or undepleted whole blood, retransfusion perioperatively during hip arthroplasty, comparison of infection rate (wound, urinary tract, other), use of antibiotic treatment and length of hospital stay
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureAdded as of 16/12/2008:
Comparison of infection rate (wound, urinary tract, other), use of antibiotic treatment and length of hospital stay, measured at 90 days
Secondary outcome measuresAdded as of 16/12/2008:
Blood loss and transfusion rate, measured at 90 days
Overall study start date01/04/2002
