Acronym: PANSAID
Brief Summary: Trial name: PAracetamol and NSAID in combination: A randomised, blinded, parallel, 4-group clinical trial

Trial acronym: PANSAID

Background: Effective postoperative pain management is essential for the well-being and rehabilitation of the surgical patient. No "gold standard" exists after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and combinations of different non-opioid medications are used with virtually no evidence for additional analgesic efficacy compared to monotherapy.

Objectives: The objective of this trial is to investigate the analgesic effects and safety of paracetamol and ibuprofen and their combination in different dosages after THA.

Intervention: Patients are randomised to 4 groups: A) paracetamol 1 g x 4 and ibuprofen 400 mg x 4; B) paracetamol 1 g x 4 and placebo (ibuprofen); C) placebo (paracetamol) and ibuprofen 400 mg x 4; and D) paracetamol 0,5 g x 4 and ibuprofen 200 mg.

Design: Placebo controlled, parallel 4-group, multicentre trial with adequate centralised computer-generated allocation sequence and allocation concealment with varying block size and stratification by site. Blinding of assessor, investigator, caregivers, patients, and statisticians.

Sample size: 556 eligible patients are needed to detect a difference of 10 mg morphine the first postoperative day with a standard deviation of 20 mg and a type 1 error rate of 0,004 (two-sided) and a type 2 error rate of 0,10.

Sub-studies: We preplan the following sub-studies. :

1. A subgroup analysis of benefit outcomes (pain and opioid consumption) with respect to the following sub-groups: sex, age (below vs above 65 years old), ASA-score (I+II vs III), Use of analgesic medication before surgery (none vs any) and anaesthetic technique (general anaesthesia vs. spinal anaesthesia). Please find a detailed protocol at www.pansaid.dk
2. A subgroup analysis of harm (serious adverse events and adverse events) with respect to the following groups sex, age (below vs above 65 years old), use of NSAIDs before surgery, and ASA-score (I+II vs III). Please find a detailed protocol at www.pansaid.dk
3. Longer follow-up than the specified 90 days (1 year)
4. An analysis of the association between VAS-scores and opioid consumption
5. Time-to-event analyses regarding use of PCA-morphine
6. An analysis of the association between preoperative analgesic use and pain/morphine consumption
7. An analysis of the individual patients: how many will achieve "no worse than mild pain" (NRS\<3). Please find a detailed protocol at www.pansaid.dk

More sub-studies may be performed post-hoc and they will be clearly identified as such.
