Sponsored by Bispebjerg Hospital · Observational
Nationwide, registry based cohort studies on all complications requiring surgery following primary ventral hernia repair
Cohort based on patients registered in the Danish Ventral Hernia Database. Through cross-linking at an individual level, all subsequent operations will be identified in the Danish National Patient Registry. For all potentially related reoperations, patient charts will be retrieved and manually reviewed. Furthermore cross-linkage with the Danish Civil Registration System to retrieve information on civil status. Follow up from time of operation for primary ventral hernia repair (index operation) until reoperation, death, emigration or end of follow up (December 31, 2023), whichever comes first.
67 studies on the registry are indexed under Hernia, Umbilical; 13 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 7,200 is above the median of 118 across 25 observational studies indexed under Hernia, Umbilical.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Weight in kilograms divided by height in metres squared. Example: 70 kg and 1.75 m gives 70 ÷ (1.75 × 1.75) ≈ 22.9.
What counts as overweight or obesity differs between countries (some use lower cut-offs), so go by the range the study states.
