What this Trial Is About
Bone and joint infections, such as prosthetic joint infections, are serious conditions that can cause significant disability and sometimes threaten life. These infections are challenging to diagnose and are linked to high mortality and lasting functional problems, affecting patients' quality of life and independence. The study aims to use validated questionnaires to assess quality of life in patients with prosthetic joint infections during their medical care. Participants will complete the EQ-5D-3L and EQ-5D-5L quality of life questionnaires along with an analog visual scale during their regular follow-up visits at the Infectious and Tropical Diseases Department. No extra visits are required for the questionnaires. The study focuses on observing changes in quality of life over time during standard care and any psychological support provided. Throughout the study, patients will be evaluated using these questionnaires at intervals between 12 and 24 months. Researchers will monitor quality of life changes and record results without altering standard medical care. This observational study helps understand the impact of prosthetic joint infections on patients' daily lives and well-being over the long term.
