Overview
Bone and joint infections (BJI) are rare serious pathology which can lead to a very heavy handicap and sometimes to the life threatening. These are devastating diseases whose diagnosis is difficult. They are known to be associated with high mortality rates (5%) and significant morbidities responsible for functional sequelae (40% of patients) with an individual cost (prolonged hospitalization, altered quality of life) and societal (work stoppage, partial or total disability, temporary or permanent) extremely high. These bone and joint infections have a significant impact on the quality of life of those affected who, in addition to their infection, are reduced in their autonomy and often need to be taken care of outside their home, sometimes away from home. To the knowledge of investigators, there are few studies on the measurement of quality of life in patients with osteoarticular infection. The aim of this study is to implement the EQ-5D-3L validated quality of life questionnaire and the EVA scale (created by EuroQol Group) for each patient with a prosthetic joint infection (IPA) on prosthesis during their medical care in the department of Infectious and Tropical Diseases.
Interventions
- Other Quality of life
Patients will complete two EQ-5D-5L and EQ-5D-3L quality of life questionnaires and will complete an analog visual scale during each of their follow-up visits to the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Department of Croix-Rousse hospital. No visits will be added to complete the questionnaires.
Primary outcome measures
- Questionnaire EQ-5D-3L [Time frame: 12 to 24 months]
- Analog Visual Scale [Time frame: 12 to 24 months]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- Questionnaire EQ-5D-5L [Time frame: 12 to 24 months]
