ESGIAI Scientific Projects


Scientific activity is one of the cornerstones of the ESGIAI study group. Multidisciplinary studies aimed to answer the questions that are still unsolved in the field of implant-associated infections are welcome, and the executive committee encourages all members to promote new studies. Study proposals can be submitted to the ESGIAI executive committee by using the following document.

Prospective data collection for PJI

The ESGIAI study group has developed a CRF within REDCap to prospectively collect data for PJIs. The data can be exported into an excel file or any other statistical programs for data analysis. The advantage of using REDCap is that the study group is collecting the same variables with the same definitions, making it easy to initiate prospective studies. In addition, people using REDCap have ownership over their own data. If you would like to join this initiative, please contact Marjan Wouthuyzen-Bakker (m.wouthuyzen-bakker[at]umcg.nl) (science[at]escmid.org).
