The Draigon Consortium proposes to validate and demonstrate the clinical efficacy of
a novel diagnostic test focusing on blood and periprosthetic joint infections at five hospitals in the Netherlands, Austria, Albania and the United States.

The DRAIGON Consortium plans to demonstrate performance for two critical prototype infections, namely bloodstream infections (BSI) and periprosthetic joint infections (PJI).

This diagnostic test will be easy to implement and may also function as an early detection system to prevent cross-border spread of pathogens.

To guide the implementation of the tools developed through DRAIGON, an extensive health technology assessment (HTA) will be performed.

This assessment will consider:

 

  • Health-economic implications

  • Patient outcomes

  • Social issues
