About this trial

This study is a prospective, randomized, double-blind clinical trial. Its aim is to evaluate whether adding a pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block to spinal anesthesia can reduce the inflammatory response after hip surgery in children.

Hip surgery in children can cause a strong stress and inflammatory reaction, which may affect pain after surgery, the need for opioid medications, and recovery.

Children aged 3 to 8 years will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: spinal anesthesia alone or spinal anesthesia combined with a PENG block. The main goal is to compare changes in the Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index (SII), a blood-based marker of inflammation, measured before surgery and 24 hours after surgery.

Additional outcomes include other inflammatory markers, postoperative pain, opioid use, time to first rescue pain medication, and side effects.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI)

Systemic Inflammation Response Index (SIRI) is used as a composite marker of systemic inflammatory activation. It is calculated from peripheral venous blood samples using the formula: SIRI = (Neutrophil count × Monocyte count) / Lymphocyte count All parameters are obtained from routine complete blood count (CBC) analysis and expressed in ×10⁹/L. SIRI reflects the interaction between innate immune activation (neutrophils and monocytes) and adaptive immune suppression (lymphocytes). Higher SIRI values indicate greater systemic inflammatory response.

Time frame
12 hours after surgery

Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI)

Aggregate Index of Systemic Inflammation (AISI) is calculated as: AISI = (Neutrophil count × Monocyte count × Platelet count) / Lymphocyte count All values are obtained from routine CBC and expressed in ×10⁹/L. AISI integrates neutrophils, monocytes, platelets, and lymphocytes, providing a broader assessment of systemic inflammatory and immune response compared to single ratios.
