Enhanced Recovery After Surgery for Total Knee Arthroplasty, Left Colectomy and Hysterectomy (RAAC-AP)

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery for Total Knee Arthroplasty, Left Colectomy and Hysterectomy: A Multicenter Study Assessing Care Practice and Prevention

The objective of the study is to assess retrospectively the effect of an awareness-raising phase in favour of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery across the Assistance Publique-Hopitaux Paris institution and to explore the determinants of compliance with modalities of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. This multicenter study is performed for three types of surgery: total knee arthroplasty, left colectomy and hysterectomy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The primary goal of the study is to quantify the effect of an awareness-raising phase in favour of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery which was organized in 2016 within the public hospitals in Paris (Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris).

The study aims to document and compare the compliance with fast track modalities and its impact for the year before (2015) and the year following (2017) the awareness-raising phase. Durations of hospital stay, compliance with recommendations, benefits on lowering complication rates and cost reductions will be studied for three types of interventions: total knee arthroplasty, left colectomy and hysterectomy.

Preoperative information provided to patients, counselling and physical optimisation will be evaluated through a survey among physicians whereas compliance with pre-, intra- and postoperative patient management guidelines will be retrospectively retrieved from the medical records of randomly selected patients. Survival and hospital trajectories will be obtained through the centralised national medical data system.

Three groups of patients having underwent total hip prosthesis, ovariectomy or gastrectomy in the same years (2015 and 2017) will serve as control groups, as for these surgeries no specific program has been implemented toward any practice change.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Duration of hospital stay
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
The average duration of hospital stay will be compared for the year before (2015) and following (2017) the awareness-raising program implemented in 2016 for patients with knee arthroplasty, hysterectomy or left colectomy.
through study completion, an average of 1 year

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Compliance with modalities of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery program
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Modalities of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery recommendations will be compared between the year before (2015) and the year following (2017) the awareness-raising program implemented in 2016.
through study completion, an average of 1 year
Number of surgery related complications
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Benefits on lowering complications rates
through study completion, an average of 1 year
Costs per patient
Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
To determine if the awareness-raising program implemented in 2016 has produced a significant cost per patient reduction. The total cost for hospitalization, readmission and surgery related complications will be assessed.
through study completion, an average of 1 year
