Aim

Multidisciplinary team (MDT) management of complex bone and joint infections (BJI) is increasingly implemented but studies evaluating this approach are scarce. We assessed the effectiveness of our MDT by analyzing the adherence to its treatment decisions.

Method

A cohort study was conducted comprising patients with complex BJI of which the management was discussed during MDT meetings between 2015 and 2022 in a tertiary care academic hospital. Patient characteristics and MDT data were obtained from electronic patient records.
