Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This retrospective multi-center, multi-national cohort study is to validate the European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) Definition of Prosthetic Joint Infection. Specifically, it is to analyze the outcome of the Infection Likely group and compare it to the Infection Unlikely group as well as other subgroups within previous validated definitions (Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS)/International Consensus on Musculoskeletal Infection (ICM) 2013 and ICM 2018).
