The EBJIS definition of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI)
We are pleased to announce that the British Infection Association (BIA) has endorsed our EBJIS Definition of Prosthetic Joint Infection (Bone Joint J 2021; 103-B(1): 18-25). Members of the EBJIS Executive Committee took part in the recent Federation of Infection Societies Conference with a session on our 'European guidelines for the management of septic arthritis' and a lecture on 'Importance of cross-specialty working; lessons from bone and joint infection clinical care and research'. It is always a pleasure to develop relationships with new Societies and Institutions who are interested in infection. This endorsement adds to our previous collaborations with EFORT, MSIS and ESCMID.
Fracture-related Infection Consensus Meeting 2018
First short guide: EBJIS FRI Guidelines 2018
The European Medicines Agency has released for public consultation a draft concept paper on preparation of a revised guideline on the evaluation of medicinal products indicated for treatment of bacterial infections.
This concept paper proposes the development of a single guideline on the clinical evaluation of medicinal products indicated for treatment of bacterial infections. The development of this single guideline is intended to merge, revise and add to the guidance that is currently included in two separate documents as follows: guideline on the evaluation of medicinal products indicated for treatment of bacterial infections (CPMP/EWP/558/95 Rev. 2), adopted in 2011 and in force since 2012 and the addendum to the guideline on the evaluation of medicinal products indicated for treatment of bacterial infections (EMA/CHMP/351889/2013), adopted in 2013 and in force since 2014.
The concept paper is available by clicking here.
