About this trial

this study aims to optimize the components of TIME CDST based on clinical practice and apply the optimized elements to the management of wounds with delayed healing risk after hip arthroplasty to identify and design the key steps in the clinical application of TIME CDST. Through a randomized controlled trial approach, the investigators will conduct a rigorous comparative analysis of the experimental group and the control group. The intervention group will receive an intervention plan based on the TIME CDST tool led by wound specialist nurses at each dressing change, while the control group receive a routine wound care program of wound cleaning and dressing changes at each dressing change. The main research objective is to evaluate the superiority of the experimental group compared with the control group in terms of wound healing time, healing quality, and patient satisfaction. Through the implementation of this study, the investigators expect to provide an effective optimization scheme for the management of postoperative wounds with delayed healing risk in clinical practice, thereby improving patient outcomes and quality of life.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Wound healing time

Wound healing time will be assessed as the primary outcome indicator. Complete epithelialization of the wound is considered as wound healing and the time taken from enrollment to complete wound healing will be recorded for both groups.

Time frame
The time frame is from the date of intervention to the date of complete wound healing or the outcome endpoint, whichever comes first, with an assessment period of 6 months.

Secondary outcomes

1

Number of cases with wound healing

The number of cases in which the wound will be completely epithelialized (defined as pink, non-exudative tissue completely covered by epithelium) during the period from enrollment to the endpoint

Time frame
The time frame is from the date of intervention to the date of complete wound healing or the outcome endpoint, whichever comes first, with an assessment period of 6 months.
2

The rate of wound area reduction

The rate of wound area reduction will be calculated through the following expression: (original wound area - present wound area)/original wound area × 100%. The accuracy of wound area measurements can be improved by placing a uniform wound measuring tape on one side of the wound and taking a picture of the wound area using image processing and analysis with Image J software (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD).

Time frame
The time frame is from the date of intervention to the date of complete wound healing or the outcome endpoint, whichever comes first, with an assessment period of 6 months.
3

ASEPSIS wound scoring system

The ASEPSIS wound scoring system will be used to assess surgical wound infection and healing. This evaluation criteria primarily evaluates multiple aspects including wound characteristics, antibiotic use, wound drainage, local debridement, bacterial culture, hospital stay, and home care of the wound. A higher score indicates more severe wound infection. (Total score: 0 to 10 indicates satisfactory healing; 11 to 20 indicates poor healing; 21 to 30 indicates mild wound infection; 31 to 40 indicates moderate wound infection; and greater than 40 indicates severe wound infection.)

Time frame
The time frame is from the date of intervention to the date of complete wound healing or the outcome endpoint, whichever comes first, with an assessment period of 6 months.
4

Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale (SBSES)

The Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale (SBSES) will be measured the aesthetic outcome of postoperative wounds, including five criteria: width, height, color, suture line, and overall appearance. Each criterion is scored as 0 or 1, with a total score ranging from 0 (worst) to 5 (best)

Time frame
The time frame is from the date of intervention to the date of complete wound healing or the outcome endpoint, whichever comes first, with an assessment period of 6 months.

Other outcomes

1

Safety evaluation

Clinical events were recorded, including reasons for non-healing (infection, hematoma, abscess, wound dehiscence, rejection reaction), antibiotic treatment, readmission, reoperation, amputation, and death.

Time frame
The time frame is from the date of intervention to the date of complete wound healing or the outcome endpoint, whichever comes first, with an assessment period of 6 months.
