Pmd29 Hospital Variations in the Use of Robotic-Assisted Surgeries in the U.S. Pediatric Population

Abstract

two diagnostic tests resulted in fewer unnecessary revision TJA procedures per patient versus the Serum CRP test alone (TKA -0.056 two-stage revisions, 0.024 misdiagnosed one-stage revisions; THA -0.034 two-stage revisions, 0.011 misdiagnosed one-stage revisions). Conclusions: This novel Alpha Defensin detection test provides an accurate and rapid result to aid in PJI diagnosis and reduces the economic and clinical burden associated with unnecessary revision TJA procedures due to misdiagnosed PJI. This diagnostic test may offer demonstrable economic value to patients, healthcare providers and payers.
