How does the registry work?
Patients who present with a bone or joint infection are added to the registry by the treating team. Initial information regarding the patient’s demographics, site of infection and comorbidities is recorded. Subsequently data regarding diagnostic test results, causative organism, antibiotic and surgical treatments is added. Baseline patient reported outcome measures are collected by the treating team. Subsequently patients are followed up by the BAJIR registry team, to obtain their consent and collect patient reported outcome measures are at 6m, 12m and then at yearly intervals. Trusts will have access to their own data via a live dashboard and the ability to download their own data.
