Brief summary
Osteoarthritis patients undergoing primary hip and knee replacement are followed-up and changes in their glucose metabolism and other metabolic parameters (obesity, cholesterol levels) are examined. Persistent postoperative pain is examined as secondary outcome.
Detailed description
Glucose metabolism disorders (diabetes and pre-diabetes) and metabolic syndrome are common in joint replacement recipients. Improved physical activity following joint replacement could lead to better glucose control in diabetes and ameliorate impaired glucose and cholesterol levels. In this study patients previously recruited to Perioperative Hyperglycaemia in Primary Total Hip and Knee Replacement study are being followed-up for one year in order to analyze if joint replacements have an effect on these metabolic abnormalities. In addition, the effect of glucose metabolism disorders on occurrence of persistent pain after surgery is analyzed.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in glucose tolerance, measured using oral glucose tolerance test | Baseline and 12-24 months after surgery | The patients are grouped into three groups that are evaluated 12, 18 and ca. 24 months after surgery. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in cholesterol levels (HDL, LDL, triglycerides) | Baseline and 12-24 months after surgery | — |
| Prolonged postoperative pain | 12-24 months after surgery | Assessed using visual analog scale. Patients are divided in three groups that are evaluated 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame |
