We already have got opportunity to detail principles, rationale and running of these new “Monitored” Data Bases MDB… It is great time right now to present upon a practical means three tutorials describing in details the three serial steps which allow for getting a MDB linked to any other existing “agreed” RDV, then for customizing this MDB as to fit the requirements of the pending study, and finally using this MDB to carry out at best the clinical study upon the regulatory commitments about follow-up for enrolled cases.

These three tutorials thus comprise: (1) Settings by the Local Administrator of the “transmitting” RDB allowing for CRFs to get linked with the corresponding MDB by those among all users of this RDB that have been agreed to participate in the study and so to include their cases. The tutorial also describes how these users can “send” their arthroplasty forms to the MDB. (2) The second tutorial is devoted to the set up of the MDB itself by the Local Administrator of this MDB (who generally is different from the “transmitting” RDB Administrator). This set up regards the various parameters of the study, and firstly the agreed users including their rights for getting access to CRFs, choice of follow-up periods to be considered, and used clinical scores, as well as any kind of administrative data allowing the Manager to get in touch at any time with any of the actors participating in the ongoing study. (3) The third tutorial at last, is in fact the most important as it details the practical use of these MDBs while carrying out any study, namely with respect to the three specific MDB sub-tabs devoted to the display of the official protocol, as well as current statistics about inclusions of CRFs and status at the various follow-up periods, and also the directory of all enrolled patients with personal status according to their participation in the study. The monitoring of any clinical study can thus be performed ideally and on real time… Lire le reste de cet article »

You have heard about OrthoWave in good words? Excellent… You have tested, analyzed, compared, assessed the various outcomes studies softwares in Arthroplasty, and the final choice is… OrthoWave!  Congratulations and thanks for putting your confidence in us… Welcome aboard!

Based upon a practical way, too often prospective Users do not really know how and where they can purchase the Software, and then while receiving their access codes as Administrator of their own database (DB), get a bit lost at the time they have to settle it appropriately…

We have thus designed for you these two tutorials, devoted respectively for the first one to the means of purchasing on line the OrthoWave software suite, and for the second to setting up the prospective DB of your own, as being its Administrator. Of course, would you receive an access code as a User of an OW existing database, no specific setting is requested from your side, and you just have to be in touch with your “Local Administrator”… However, you might get interest in discovering this tutorial anyway. After all, maybe soon you will feel the call of run your own data base ? Lire le reste de cet article »

This story takes place in an hospital, similar to any other hospital in the world, in which Oliver works as a promising resident in Orthopaedic Surgery. At the beginning of the game, the Boss needs Oliver to carry on a complete study about an orthopaedic implant, i.e. the “divine” Hip, to be presented… 3 months later!

Oliver, with the help of his friend, Joey, and Monica, the lovely secretary, will discover the OrthoWave outcomes study suite. Step by step, thanks to precious advises of Barry the Statistician, Ito, the Graphic designer, and Dwight, the Professor, he will finally succeed in this huge challenge!!! At each of the 10 levels of the game, videos are displayed and a quiz allows to go ahead. Got lost! No fear, just visit Master OWA!…

OrthoWave the Game can surely be regarded as the most pleasant and fancy means of getting comfortable with the OrthoWave use… Let’s go!…

Nobody on earth would be foolish enough to compare the production of carrots in a small farm in northern France, with growth rates of rabbits in a farming in Ardeche, in order to define the merits of fishing quotas mackerel in the North Atlantic. It’s (almost) what we can usually read while checking the results of prosthetic implants, as published in the scientific literature itself, from different series, grouping variables analyzed along sometimes divergent criteria, and anyway serving as absolute references to the famous meta-analysis, so dear to our speakers …

In terms of economic or industrial production, the analytic reports must be expressed and distributed in accordance with strict standards. Could one imagine a standard for presentation of results of the series of our prostheses? Lire le reste de cet article »
