NCT ID: NCT04488458
Description: The main results will be presented at an aggregated level. In some cases, individual data may be presented (e.g. characteristics of a bacterial strain in relation to clinical outcome), but this information will be unidentified so that it cannot be deduced to the individual. All compiled personal data will be stored on a password-protected hospital server that only the research group has access to. No personal data will be reported in publications. The results of the study will be documented according to the study protocol and placed in a journal. Participants will be coded in a document together with the social security numbers. Information about the participants, their health and the code key will be collected at the Orthopaedic Clinic where it will be treated confidentially and securely for 10 years. The handling of the participants' information is regulated by the Personal Data Act (SFS 1998: 204).
