Study summary

People with neuromotor disability (i.e. following an inborn or acquired spinal cord, cerebral or peripheral neurological lesion) are at high risk of osteomyelitis-associated pressure ulcers.

The management of osteomyelitis-associated pressure ulcers is controversial. In our center, patients benefit from a one stage surgical management with bone shaving and flap covering osteitis of pressure ulcer to perform wound closing. Surgery is followed by an antibiotic treatment, secondarily adapted to intraoperative samples.

The aim of this study is to describe the cohort and to identify factors associated with failure (or success) in this frail population.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective, monocentric, cohort study of neurological disabled inpatients subjects treated in the perioperative disability unit (UPOH) of our university hospital for osteomyelitis-associated pressure ulcer by surgical flaps and anti bacterial agents.

All eligible inpatient subjects with neuromotor disability and admitted for the treatment of osteomyelitis-associated pressure ulcers by surgical flaps will be consecutively included.

Patients are followed up in consultation at 30 or 45 days after surgery, and in consultation or teleconsultation at 12 months after surgery.

Data will be collected from the patients' medical records, in particular data related to their clinical, radiological, biological, and physiological examinations. Data related to sitting, nutrition, spasticity, bladder and bowel disorders, bacteriological sampling and antibiotic treatments will be collected.

This is a routine care study; no procedures are added for research purposes. It is an ancillary study to the NO-AGING study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Success at 12 months after surgery

    Success is defined as the absence of surgical revision, the absence of additional antibiotic therapy, and the absence of local care at the surgical site.

    Time frame: 12 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. Success at 30-45 days after surgery

    Success is defined as the absence of surgical revision, the absence of additional antibiotic therapy, and the absence of inflammatory signs or pus leakage or deep disunion of more than 2 cm.

    Time frame: 30-45 days after surgery (depening on the surgical technique)

  2. Description of the patients' bacteriological tests

    Intraoperative samples and drain samples.

    Time frame: Through hospital admission, up to 7 days after surgery

  3. Death

    Obtained from the INSEE database.

    Time frame: 12 months after surgery

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Feb 2023 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Feb 2026, 35 months after the start.

Of 49 observational studies under Pressure Ulcer, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 10 and three quarters within 141. This study's planned 35 months is above that.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 21, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
