Francine Vos started in April 2022 as a PhD candidate with a research project on infections of vascular and breast prostheses. It is a multi-centre, cross-border collaborative project involving the UMCG, the Medical Center Leeuwarden, Nij Smellinghe Drachten, Ommelander Hospital Groningen, Klinikum Oldenburg (DE), PIUS Hospital (DE) and Bonifatius Lingen (DE). The incidence of vascular and breast prosthesis infections, the pathogens with associated resistance patterns and the surgical outcomes are mapped. A comparison will be made between the different sizes of hospitals (university versus peripheral) and the different countries (the Netherlands versus Germany). The aim is to establish the best practice for both countries, with which an evidence-based protocol can be drawn up for the prevention and treatment of vascular and breast prosthesis infections.
