Antibiotic Resistant Infection, Prosthetic Joint Infection

Keywords
bone and joint infection, Antibiotic pretreatment
Brief summary
One-step exchange arthroplasty is more and more used in the treatment of chronic infections, especially in patients at risk anesthetic. This strategy is not recommended in patients infected with multidrug-resistant organisms or difficult to treat because of a risk of bacterial persistence on the new implant. Antibiotic pretreatment by a narrow-spectrum molecule and for which resistance acquisition is difficult might be of interest to try to reduce the inoculum and avoid contamination of the new implant.
Interventions
a strategy with antibiotic pretreatment before one-step exchange arthroplasty in patients who bacteria responsible for the infection has been indentified (puncture, blood cultures,...)

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of Treatment Failure | Outcome is measured at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption | Treatment failure is defined by local clinical and/or microbiological relapse; and/or need for additional surgery; death of septic origin |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| rate of use of this strategy | Outcome is measured at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption | descriptions of patients managed with this strategy |
| rate of bacteria responsible for infection | Outcome is measured at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption | bacterial epidemiology |
