Limitations and caveats
Limitations include small sample size, poor recruitment (due health insurance coverage, treatment preference, and the discontinuation of Xiaflex® in Canada), and poor response rate and outcome data collection due to onset and restriction associated with COVID-19 pandemic.

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryHealth-related Quality of Life (HRQL) Using the Michigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ)1 yearMichigan Hand Outcomes Questionnaire (MHQ). Converted to a score rated 0-100 (where higher scores represent better function).
SecondaryHRQL Measured With the Health Utility Index Mark 3 (HUI3) of Health1 year
Health Utility Index Mark 3 (HUI3) of Health. The HUI3 is a generic multi-attribute health-status classification instrument composed of eight attributes or dimensions: vision, hearing, speech, ambulation, dexterity, emotion, cognition, and pain with five or six levels per attribute. Dimensions are combined to produce one health utility score. The HUI3 produces health utilities anchored at 0 (minimum) for equal to being dead and 1 (maximum) for perfect health.
SecondaryHRQL Measured With the Unité Rhumatologique Des Affections de la Main (URAM)1 year
Unité Rhumatologique des Affections de la Main (URAM). The URAM is a disease-specific HRQL measure developed for Dupuytren's Disease (DD) and is composed of a 9-item patient-reported questionnaire. Each item is scored between 0 and 5 depending on the difficulty in performing that particular function with total scores for DD-associated disability ranging from 0 (best) to 45 (worst). High scores suggest high levels of disability and disturbance. The URAM scale is a 1-domain outcome measure postulated to be related to disability associated with DD.
SecondaryHRQL Measured With the Southampton Dupuytren's Scoring Scheme (SDSS)1 year
The SDSS is disease-specific scoring system developed for Dupuytren's Disease (DD) with 5 domains, each relevant to DD and scored on a five-point scale (no problem, mild inconvenience, modest inconvenience, definitely troublesome, severe problem). The minimum score is 0 and maximum score is 20 with higher scores suggesting higher levels of disability.
SecondaryQuality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) Measured With the Health Utility Index Mark 3 (HUI3)1 year
QALY was calculated by multiplying the difference between quality of life, as measured by the HUI-3 score before and after the intervention by the remaining years of life of the average patient (i.e., life expectancy - patient's age). Life expectancy was set at 79 years for males, and 84 years for females. Higher QALYs represent improved (better) patient outcomes.
SecondaryRecurrence Rates1-4 years
Reccurence was measured as whether or not participants received a repeat diagnosis of Dupuytren's disease with loss of finger extension at the site of prior intervention and underwent palmar fasciectomy (following the collagenase injection or as a revision operation) after initial study treatment. The time horizon for recurrence was between 1-4 years post initial study treatment. Outcome was dichotomous (i.e., recurrence; yes or no).
SecondaryLoss of Extension MCP1 year
Passive range of motion degree of extension was measured using a goniometer. Difference in degree, as measured by a goniometer, between the participant's resting maximum extension of the metacarpal-phalangeal joint, relative to a metacarpal-phalangeal joint at full extension (i.e., 0 degrees)
SecondaryLoss of Extension PIP1 year
Passive range of motion degree of extension was measured using a goniometer. Difference in degree, as measured by a goniometer, between the participant's resting maximum extension of the proximal inter-phalangeal joint, relative to a proximal inter-phalangeal joint at full extension (i.e., 0 degrees)
SecondaryLoss of Extension DIP1 year
Passive range of motion degree of extension was measured using a goniometer. Difference in degree, as measured by a goniometer, between the participant's resting maximum extension of the distal inter-phalangeal joint, relative to a distal inter-phalangeal joint at full extension (i.e., 0 degrees)
