Prosthetic joint infection: A pluridisciplinary multi-center audit bridging quality of care and outcome.
Care to patients with prosthetic joint infections (PJI) is provided after pluridisciplinary collaboration, in particular for complex presentations. Therefore, to carry out an audit in PJI justifies using pluridisciplinary criteria. We report an audit for hip or knee PJI, with emphasis on care homogeneity, length of hospital stay (LOS) and mortality. ⋯ Care to patients with PJI was heterogeneous, our quality criteria being correlated to the outcome.
