Short summary
Clinical prognostic models are tools that predict treatment outcomes for individual patients. For adults with bone and joint infection treated with surgery and implant removal, this review found no existing unbiased clinical prediction models that took modifiable health factors into account to estimate prognosis. Developing a clinical prognostic model may help treatment decisions and future targeted research in orthopaedic infection.
