Registered outcomes 6
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Hernia recurrence | From randomization till three months after surgery | Number and percentage of children with recurrence of inguinal hernia on the operated side, assessed by clinical examination at the outpatient follow-up visit. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Other | Operating time | From skin incision to wound closure on the day of surgery | Time in minutes from skin incision to wound closure, recorded by the operation theater nurse in-charge using a stopwatch. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Other | Post-operative pain | From skin closure to 12 hours after postoperatively | Pain score on the FLACC scale (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability; range 0 to 10, higher scores indicating more pain), assessed every 2 hours after surgery by a resident blinded to the surgical technique. The final score at 12 hours is used for analysis. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Other | Duration of hospital stay | From the day of surgery to discharge within 1 to 3 days | Number of days from the day of surgery to the day of discharge. Children are discharged when pain free and mobile, as per hospital protocol. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Other | Surgical wound infection | From wound closure to Within 30 days after surgery | Number and percentage of children with surgical site infection, defined as signs of inflammation (fever, pain, redness), purulent discharge, or an organism identified from an aseptically obtained specimen from the surgical site. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
| Other | Time to return to full activity | From wound closure up to 3 months after surgery | Time in days taken to return to all previously performed activities, recorded at weekly outpatient follow-up visits. | ClinicalTrials.gov |
