COPINS: Cohort of Prosthetic Joint Infections
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Management of prosthetic joint infections (PJI) is a challenging task. These infections include different clinical and microbiological settings calling upon various treatment strategies according to infection type (acute or chronic), bone quality, the involved micro-organism and the patient's general condition and willing.
Treatment of PJI combines surgery and prolonged antibiotic therapy. In some patients with a high operative risk prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy can be used.
Lack of large prospective studies motivated the conception of this cohort with a long term follow up, regardless to PJI management procedures.

Detailed Description
Large prospective cohort study in a French referral center for bone and joint infections.
Population
-
all patients who consented to participate in the study with PJI treated with:
-
debridement-synovectomy for acute infection
-
with one-stage, two-stage exchange arthroplasty for chronic infection
-
other procedures (complete removal of the prosthesis) and antibiotic therapy
-
patients (non-operated or operated) receiving prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy
Outcome:
-
Follow-up at least 2 years
-
Events monitored: reinfection including relapse and new infection, joint revision for mechanical failure, PJI related or non-related death Study duration: 10 years. Recruitment period: 4 years. Maximal duration of data collection: 6 years. Investigator center: monocenter study. Mean patient inclusion per year: 100 patients per year.
Study Design
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of patients with hip and knee prosthetic joint reinfection (relapse and new infection) and multi-variable analysis of reinfection risk factors [2 years]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Assessment of joint function at one, two, four and 6 years after prosthesis revision with one or two stage exchange arthroplasty. [1, 2, 4, 6 years]
- Assessment of mechanical failure rate six years after prosthesis revision with one or two stage exchange arthroplasty [6 years]
- Assessment of treatment failure rate in patients with hip and knee PJI 2 years after prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy in non-operated patients. [2 years]
- Assessment of reinfection rate of shoulder PJI two years after prosthesis revision with one or two stage exchange arthroplasty. [2 years]
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Patient aged over 18 years old with hip, knee and or shoulder joint prosthesis who consented to participate in the study with:

Major Criteria:
-

-
The presence of pus in the joint without known cause
-
Positive histological analysis of periprosthetic tissue
-
A single positive culture
Or a PJI which meets the following three criteria:
-
Medical story suggesting prosthetic joint infection.
-
The presence of pain either with or without swelling for more than 3 months unrelated to a mechanical cause.

-
Or microbial growth in prosthesis sonication fluid culture greater than 50CFU/ml.
Exclusion Criteria:
-
Patient who does not meet eligibility criteria.
-
Patient lawfully deprived of his liberty.
-
Patient not insured under social security scheme.
