Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To compare the effect of intravenous dexamethasone relative to placebo on cumulated postoperative morphine consumption from baseline to 48 hours in hip dysplasia patients undergoing PAO.;Secondary Objective: To compare the effect of repeated doses of intravenous dexamethasone relative to a single dose on cumulated postoperative morphine consumption from baseline to 48 hours in hip dysplasia patients undergoing periacetabulary osteotomy (PAO). Furthermore, to evaluate postoperative nausea and vomiting and development in inflammatory markers from baseline to 48 hours postoperative. And, to determine if dexamethasone is superior to placebo for: -Perception of pain intensity postoperatively and need for supplemental analgesics -Prevalence and degree of postoperative nausea and vomiting, including antiemetic consumption -Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) -Perception of sleep quality -Mobilization postoperatively -Prevalence and degree of serious adverse events (SAE), e.g. complicating wound infection, which need antibiotic treatment or revision surgery. ;Primary end point(s): Cumulated postoperative morphine consumption in milligrams (mg) after 48hours. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 48 hours | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): A Postoperative pain intensity after 48 hrs. Evaluated at (i) rest and (ii) under the timed-up-and-go (TUG) procedure. Pain intensity is assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS). B Cumulated consumption of opioids from 48hrs post operation to POD14. C Postoperative nausea, 4 point scale after 48hrs. D Cumulated antiemetic consumption in mg and drug will be assessed after 48hrs. E TUG test after 48hrs. F Number of patients with one or more serious adverse events (SAE) G Inflammatory markers;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: A 48 hours B day 14 after day of surgery C 48 hours D 48 hours E 48 hours F 8 weeks G 48 hours | — |
