Periprosthetic Joint Infection
Brief summary
This retrospective study aims to improve the diagnosis of PJI as well as to identify microorganisms causing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) and the drug-resistant spectrum
Detailed description
160 patients who underwent revision or re-revision total hip or knee arthroplasty for different reasons in our institution were recruited from August 2013 to August 2016. 80 patients meet the criteria of PJI from the muscle and skeletal muscle Association (MSIS) are divided to the infection group, another 80 patients are divided into the non-infection group. Medical and demographic data were recorded. Collected lab examinations included blood routine test, C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), synovial leukocyte counts, Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve-Area Under Curve (ROC-AUC) analysis will be used to evaluate the specific and sensitivity of diagnosis index. Moreover,microorganisms isolated from periprosthetic tissues and articular fluid. Postoperatively, the prosthesis was sent for ultrasound sonication. The sonicate extraction, implant surrounding tissue and synovium were sent for microbiologic culture, and the implant-surrounding-tissue were also sent for pathological examination. The isolated strains and drug-resistance rate for each bacterium for different antibiotics were presented.
Interventions
Periprosthetic Joint Infection is diagnosed according to the diagnosing criteria from the Workgroup of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society.
PJI can not be diagnosed for the lack of clinical evidence according to the diagnosing criteria from the Workgroup of the Musculoskeletal Infection Society.
