Filter by:The aim of this retrospective observational study is to evaluate the efficacy of antibiotic therapy with dalbavancin in patients presenting with infection on prosthetic devices. The main questions the study aims to answer are: What is the proportion of patients with early discontinuation of dalbavancin therapy? What are the reasons for early discontinuation of antibiotic treatment? What adverse events do patients report? The study is based on data collected as part of routine care practices.

This study was aimed at the evaluation of a new protocol of antibiotic prophylaxis, stratified according to individual infective risk calculated with the Shariff score at the moment of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation.
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) infection is a complication requiring multiple hospitalizations, operations, and outpatient visits placing a significant burden on both patient and treating surgeons. When revision surgery is needed, two kinds of treatment can be applied----one-stage and two-stage reimplantation procedure. The two-stage reimplantation procedure is considered the gold standard for treatment of subacute and chronic deep periprosthetic infections. Placement of antibiotic-loaded spacer is a standard procedure for eradication of peri-prosthetic joint infection. For better patient outcome, the purpose of this study was to determine the success rate of total knee infection patients treating with two-stage reimplantation procedure.
The microbiome of 80 orthopedic-device related infection (ODRI) patients treated with antibiotics and 10 healthy controls will be investigated. Samples (blood, stool, saliva, skin-swab) are collected 4x within 6 months. Composition and diversity of the microbiome will be assessed by 16sRNA sequencing, skins swabs are screened for rifampicin-resistant staphylococci onto Mannitol-salt-agar plates supplemented with rifampicin, inflammation markers and antibodies in blood and saliva are monitored to track changes in the immune response. For further analysis patients are assigned to one of two groups: 1) antibiotic therapy including rifampicin and 2) non-rifampicin antibiotic therapy.
This study evaluates surgical site complications in subjects undergoing revision of a total knee arthroplasty when closed incision negative pressure therapy is used to manage the closed incision, as compared to a standard of care dressing.
Hundreds of thousands patients undergo implantation or replacement of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) annually in Europe, and up to 50% of these subjects receive antiplatelet agents or oral anticoagulants. Antithrombotic therapy increases the risk of developing pocket hematoma which in turn is associated with an increased risk of potentially fatal device-related infections when clinically significant. Aim of the registry is to retrospectively (pilot local registry in Tuscany) and prospectively (multicenter national registry in Italy) investigate the different strategies for the management of antithrombotic therapy and the related complication rates (1-month and 12-months) in patients undergoing CIED surgery in a real-world setting. The registry will also provide data on the economic impact of different management strategies and complications.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the concentrations of antibiotics used as empirical treatment in serum and periprosthetic tissues during reimplantation of infected hip and knee prostheses
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of a negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system after revision total knee and hip arthroplasty in patients at high risk for infection. It is hypothesized that the use of NPWT system (i.e., Prevena) in high risk patients prevents wound complications and decreases reoperation rates.
The study is a prospective, open randomized, non-inferiority trial with two parallel groups, comparing 6 weeks versus 12 weeks of antibiotic treatment following surgery procedure (debridement and retention, 1-stage or 2 stage exchange). The duration of the treatment antibiotic of prosthetic joint infections is only based on experts' opinion ; this one varies from 6 weeks to several months according to the customs of the influencer. The principal aim of this study is to explore the efficacy and safety of 6 weeks versus 12 weeks antibiotic therapy duration, both associated with surgical procedure (debridement and retention of implant, one-stage or two stages exchange), in PJI treatment. The study concerns 410 men or women of more than 18 years include in 34 centres in France. The duration of the study is of 4 years.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare the re-infection rates in patients undergoing 2-stage revision arthroplasty who receive additional oral antibiotic therapy to those patients who received in-hospital perioperative antibiotic only. Patients will be monitored for re-infection following hospital discharge, defined as deep infection of the joint space/capsule that requires return to the operating room within 24-months of the re-implantation procedure.
