Abstract:Objectives
Prompt diagnosis of septic arthritis (SA) in acute native hot joints is essential to reduce unnecessary antibiotics and hospital admissions. We evaluated the utility of SF and serum tests in differentiating causes of acute hot joints.
Methods
We performed a systematic literature review of diagnostic testing for in acute hot joints. Articles were included if studying ≥1 serum or SF test(s) for an acute hot joint, co… Show more
“…In a systematic review and meta-analysis, researchers report on the potential of multiple individual tests in synovial fluid and serum, which may be able to facilitate prompt exclusion of joint sepsis arthritis in the acute setting. (See Dey et al, 2022. )…”
wedish researchers report that individuals with knee or hip osteoarthritis (OA) participating in first-line intervention experienced clinically relevant improvements in pain, whether delivered face-to-face or digitally. (See Jönsson et al., 2022.
