Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint of the study is graft infection at 3 months after implantation. Related variables to be measured include: 1. Febrile or non-febrile status 2. WBC count 3. C-reactive protein (CRP) test 4. Samson classification of the infection (grade I-V) (for peripheral situations) I. Infections extend no deeper than the dermis II. Infections involve subcutaneous tissues but do not come into grossly observable contact with the graft III. Infections involve the body of the graft but not at an anastomosis IV. Infections surround an exposed anastomosis but bacteremia or anastomotic bleeding has not occurred V. Infections involve a graft-to-artery anastomosis and are associated with septicemia and/or bleeding at the time of presentation OR CT findings (for central situations) 5. Patient temperature 6. Wound healing 7. Wound infection 8. If debridement was performed 9. Purulence | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The second endpoint to be determined is patency at 12 months. Related variables to be measured include: 1. Clinical assessment at 3 and 12 months 2. Duplex ultrasound (for peripheral situations) or CTA (for central situations) at 3 and 12 months | — |
