Quality of Life in Patients Having a Prosthetic Joint Infection

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
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.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| Patients having prosthetic joint infection<br>The primary aim is to measure the evolution of quality of life in patients having prosthetic joint infection during their medical care and possibly psychologic assistance in the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Department of Croix-Rousse Hospital. | Other: Quality of life<br>* 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.<br>|

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Questionnaire EQ-5D-3L | EQ5D is one of the most widely used health states descriptive system and has a valuation in France. EQ-5D questionnaires have 5 dimensions: Mobility, Human Autonomy, Current Activities, Pain / Discomfort, Anxiety / Depression and all dimensions are described by 3 problem levels corresponding to patient response choices. A quality of life score is obtained according to the answers to the questionnaires. | 12 to 24 months | 
| Analog Visual Scale | Use of a Analog Visual Scale to measure the quality of life | 12 to 24 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Questionnaire EQ-5D-5L | In the EQ-5D-5L the 5 dimensions are described by 5 problem levels corresponding to patient response choices. A quality of life score is obtained according to the answers to the questionnaires. In France, only the EQ-5D-3L has been validated, not yet the EQ-5D-5L which has only been translated. In this study investigators want compare the score obtained to the questionnaires EQ5D-5L and EQ-5D-3L to determine if EQ-5D-5L is more adapted to patients having prosthetic joint infection. | 12 to 24 months |
