ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying patients who have severe infections in their joints or bones, specifically those with artificial joints like knee or hip prostheses, who have been admitted to intensive care. The main goals of the study are to understand how these patients are treated during their hospital stay, track their progress, and look at their chances of recovery over two years. Researchers will also examine the types of germs causing these infections and how resistant they are to treatment. This research is being conducted in hospitals across France.

To be eligible for the study, participants must be at least 18 years old and have stayed in intensive care for at least 48 hours with a diagnosis of a joint or bone infection. Importantly, they must not oppose participating in the study. If someone joins, their health information will be collected over two years, which may involve a phone call to check on their condition. This study aims to provide valuable insights that could improve the care and outcomes for patients facing these serious infections.
