Registered outcomes2

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

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Sleep Disturbance as Measured by Epworth Sleep Score (ESS)Visit 1 (Screening Visit), Visit 2 (2 months post surgery)
The primary objective is the Epworth Sleep Score used to evaluate the impact of melatonin use on the quality of sleep, including total hours of sleep and nighttime awakenings in patients undergoing elective primary total hip and knee arthroplasty. The ESS score (the sum of 8 item scores, 0-3) can range from 0 to 24. The higher the ESS score, the higher that person's average sleep propensity in daily life (ASP), or their 'daytime sleepiness'.
SecondaryChange in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Sleep Disturbance ScoreVisit 1 (Screening Visit), 14 days after surgery visit
The PROMIS Sleep Disturbance questionnaire comprises 8 items assessing patients' sleep over the past 7 days. Each item is rated on a Likert scale from 1-5. The raw score is the sum of responses and is transformed to a normalized score from 0-100; higher scores indicate greater sleep disturbance.
