Infections in Total Hip and Total Knee Arthroplasty: Development of a Score To Assess Endogenous Risk of Surgical Site Infections

Abstract: Endogenous infection risk score studied here was found to be relevant in discriminating cases from control groups, but requires validation in a larger cohort.

“…Nevertheless, the incidence of PJI and the micro-organisms that were isolated were similar to those found in other studies 1,4,34,35 . Finally, although we could adjust for a number of known risk factors through linkage with other registers, there were a number of risk factors not recorded in the registers; e.g., weight/body mass index 36 , smoking 37 , and alcohol consumption 38 . These variables represent individual risk factors and they are only accounted for if the comorbidity is implemented in the Charlson comorbidity index.…”

“…Many of these factors are patient and perioperative related. [3][4][5][6][7][8] However, there remain numerous potentially modifiable risk factors such as the anesthesia technique (eg, neuraxial vs general anesthesia) that may reduce rates of both infectious and noninfectious complications. [9][10][11] The role of neuraxial anesthesia in reducing the SSI after KA or HA is uncertain.…”

“…Patient demographics also have been shown to have an impact upon risk of PJI, including age[16], rural residence[16], race[20], male gender[14,18,20,31], and alcohol[26] or tobacco use[23,29,31,32]. Previous operations to the joint (excluding revisions arthroplasty as this was excluded from analysis) increased the risk of PJI[5,32].…”
