What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compared staph bacteria from 57 patients with implant infections to 31 from healthy nasal carriers. Researchers looked at the bacteria's genes and ability to form biofilms (slimy coatings). The goal was to find what makes some staph strains more dangerous around implants. This is a knowledge-gathering study, not a treatment trial.

Who is studied

Fifty-five IAI patients were included; two of them had two different S. aureus IAI episodes. The median age was 73 years (range: 21-96 years) with 29 women (52.7%). Twenty seven percent of patients suffered from diabetes and were smokers. Nine patients including six women were immunosuppressed with a median age of 71 years. The main diagnosis for arthroplasty was arthrosis (38%). Implants were hip prosthesis (n = 35), knee prosthesis (n = 18) and osteosynthesis (n = 4). Main local consequences of IAI were scarce alteration (n = 34) and skin fistulization (n = 22). These IAI were treated by surgical removal of all infected tissue and implant or a combination of debridement with implant retention associated to long-term antimicrobial therapy active against biofilm microorganisms. Eighteen early, nine delayed and 30 late infections occurred. Blood group phenotypes were available for 54 patients and were distributed as follows: 26 O group, 17 A group, 10 B group and one AB group.
