Swiss Revision Cohort

Swiss Revision Cohort: a Nationwide, Multi-center, Prospective Periprosthetic Joint Infection Cohort Study

Sponsor

Insel Gruppe AG, University Hospital Bern

Enrollment

329 participants

Start Date

Sep 23, 2022

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Joint (Knee or Hip Replacement)Infection as Complication of Medical Care

Summary

This study follows patients with infections after a joint replacement over time. During follow-up, treatment outcomes are carefully measured to determine whether the infection can be cured. In addition, factors that may change infection cure rates are examined, including the patient's overall health, the type of bacteria causing the infection, and the surgical and antibiotic treatments used. The goal is to understand what leads to more frequent cure and to improve future care.

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This Swiss national observational study is following patients who have undergone revision surgery for joint replacement infections (periprosthetic joint infections, or PJI) of the hip, knee, shoulder, elbow, or ankle to understand what factors lead to successful infection cure versus treatment failure. Researchers are tracking surgical approaches, antibiotic treatment, bacteria involved, and patient health characteristics. You may be eligible if you are 18 or older, have had revision surgery for a confirmed or suspected joint implant infection at a participating Swiss center, and are willing to be followed for at least two years. Participation involves routine clinical visits and data collection at your regularly scheduled follow-up appointments after surgery. This summary was prepared using AI to help patients understand this research.
