Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Sterile puncture of the affected joint with an inserted endoprosthetic replacement if there is a clinical suspicion of a periprosthetic infection. The aim is to detect increased CRP values in the puncture fluid (synovia), i.e. values > 0.5 mg/l) compared to increased CRP values in the blood serum (values > 5 mg/dl). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Evaluation of further puncture data such as puncture volume in ml, macroscopic aspect (punctate color), cell count, granulocyte count, presence of crystals; Laboratory results of the blood test of CRP and leukocytes, microbiological culture results (if positive, which germ), pathological results according to Krenn (stage I-IV), number of open biopsies after puncture, number of prosthesis infections requiring revision. | — |
