NCT04655950

Brief Summary

Vertebral osteomyelitis is an infection of the intervertebral disk and adjacent vertebral plates with a non-negligible risk of neurological complications and handicap. If there are clear recommendations dealing with antibiotic therapy and surgery indications for this pathogen, the question of the immobilization will be remaining debate. The aim of the study was to describe protocols and practices for the immobilization of vertebral osteomyelitis in different French hospitals and bone and joint infections Centers. The secondary objectives were to evaluate the frequency of neurological complications in a large prospective cohort, and to identify clinical and imaging risk factors for neurological complications. The investigators also aim to search for association between type and duration of spine immobilization and neurological status at the end of follow-up.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Qualitative description of main types of spine immobilization

    Type of bracing : smooth or rigid bracing, highness of bracing (cervical, thoracic, lumbar spine or both and level of the highest and lowest vertebrae included).

    inclusion

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Frequency of neurological complications

    inclusion, month 3 and month 6

  • MRI signs at baseline

    inclusion, month 3 and month 6

  • Oswestry functional score at 3 and 6 months follow-up

    inclusion, month 3 and month 6

  • Duration of Spine immobilization

    month 6

Interventions

Evaluation of the frequency of neurological complications in a large prospective cohort, and to identify clinical and imaging risk factors for neurological complications. We search for association between type and duration of spine immobilization and neurological status at the end of follow-up

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Baseline : * Patient information (letter and oral consent) * Clinical data and comorbidities collection * Neurological examination * Spine X-ray * MRI or CT-scan imaging to confirm diagnosis During Hospitalization * Date collection : spine immobilization modalities (type, duration, changes…), duration of bed rest * Other treatments (antibiotic therapy : molecules and duration) * Daily neurological examination 3 months follow-up visit : (if usually done by physician) * Clinical and neurological examination * Spine immobilization assessment * Spine X-ray * Oswestry questionnary 6 months follow-up visit : finale visit (if usually done by physician) * Clinical and neurological examination * Spine immobilization assessment * Spine X-ray * Oswestry questionnary

You may qualify if:

  • Adults patients, male and female
  • Hospitalized of a vertebral osteomyelitis in one of the Centers
  • Meeting the criteria for the definition of vertebral Osteomyelitis (typical imaging findings)
  • Microbiological proof of infection (blood culture or discovertebral biopsy) or high suspicion of infection (Compatible histology, good response to antibiotics and no differential diagnosis).

You may not qualify if:

  • Recent spinal surgery less than 1month
  • Children under 18 years old
  • Under guardianship
  • Pregnant woman
