NCT ID NCT05613439

First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This registry study collects detailed information from 45,000 adults undergoing fast-track hip or knee replacement at eight Danish hospitals. Researchers track patient health before surgery and complications afterward, including hospital stays, readmissions, and deaths within 90 days. The goal is to identify which patients can safely have surgery as a day procedure and to develop a tool that flags high-risk individuals.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could help identify which patients are best suited for day-surgery and reduce complications after hip and knee replacements.
What could go wrong
This is an observational registry, not a controlled trial, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply outside the Danish healthcare system.
