Risk factors for periprosthetic joint infection after total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty in Chinese patients.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this hospital-based case-control study was to evaluate the risk factors for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in Chinese patients.

Method

From January 2000 to December 2012, 45 patients undergoing THA and TKA who developed PJI were recruited for case subjects; controls were 252 without PJI, matched by year of index for surgery and type of surgery. Conditional logistic regressions were run to compute odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs).

Results

Demographic factors and comorbid conditions associated with an increased adjusted risk of PJI (in decreasing order of significance) were diabetes (OR?=?5.47, 95% CI: 1.77-16.97; p?=?0.003), age (65-75 vs. 45-65 years) (OR?=?3.36, 95% CI: 1.30-8.69; p?=?0.013), BMI (?28 vs. 18.5-28 kg/m2) (OR?=?2.77, 95% CI: 1.20-6.40; p?=?0.017), place of residence (rural) (OR?=?2.63, 95% CI: 1.13-6.10; p?=?0.025) and alcohol abuse (OR?=?2.95, 95% CI: 1.06-8.23; p?=?0.039).

Conclusion

Patients with diabetes, older age, BMI of ?28 kg/m2 and alcohol abuse or living in rural areas, had increased PJI risk. Additional systematic large-scale studies are needed to verify these results.

Project description:A growing number of recent investigations on the human genome, gut microbiome, and proteomics suggests that the loss of mucosal barrier function, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract, may substantially affect antigen trafficking, ultimately influencing the close bidirectional interaction between the gut microbiome and the immune system. This cross-talk is highly influential in shaping the host immune system function and ultimately affecting the outcome of interventions. We hypothesized that the loss of mucosal barrier in the gut may be associatedto acute and chronic periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). Zonulin, soluble CD14 (sCD14), and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) were tested in plasma as part of a prospective cohort study of patients undergoing primary arthroplasty or revision arthroplasty because of an aseptic failure or PJI (as defined by the 2018 criteria). All blood samples were collected before antibiotic administration. Samples were tested using commercially available enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays as markers for gut permeability. A total of 134 patients were included in the study of which 44 patients had PJI (30 chronic and 14 acute), and the remaining 90 patients were categorized as non-infected that included 64 patients revised for aseptic failure, and 26 patients undergoing primary total joint arthroplasty. Both Zonulin (7.642 ± 6.077 ng/mL vs 4.560 ± 3.833 ng/mL; p < 0.001) and sCD14 levels (555.721 ± 216.659 ng/mL vs 396.872 ± 247.920 ng/mL; p = 0.003) were significantly elevated in the PJI group compared to non-infected cases. Higher levels of Zonulin were found in acute infections compared to chronic PJI (11.595 ± 6.722 ng/mL vs. 5.798 ± 4.841 ng/mL; p = 0.005). This prospective study reveals a possible link between gut permeability and the 'gut-immune-joint axis' in PJI. If this association continues to be borne out with a larger cohort and more in-depth analysis, it will have a clinically significant implication in managing patients with PJI. It may be that in addition to the administration of antimicrobials, patients with PJI and other orthopaedic infections may benefit from administration of gastrointestinal modulators such as pro and prebiotics.

Project description:BackgroundPeriprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a catastrophic complication after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Our meta-analysis aimed to identify the individual-related risk factors that predispose patients to PJI following primary THA.MethodsComprehensive literature retrieval from Pubmed, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library was performed from inception to Feb 20th, 2021. Patient-related risk factors were compared as per the modifiable factors (BMI, smoke and alcohol abuse), non-modifiable factors (gender, age), and medical history characteristics, such as diabetes mellitus (DM), avascular necrosis (AVN) of femoral head, femoral neck fracture, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and osteoarthritis (OA) etc. The meta-analysis was applied by using risk ratios with 95% corresponding intervals. Sensitivity analysis and publication bias were performed to further assess the credibility of the results.ResultsOverall, 40 studies with 3,561,446 hips were enrolled in our study. By implementing cumulative meta-analysis, higher BMI was found associated with markedly increased PJI risk after primary THA [2.40 (2.01-2.85)]. Meanwhile, medical characteristics including DM [1.64 (1.25-2.21)], AVN [1.65 (1.07-2.56)], femoral neck fracture [1.75 (1.39-2.20)], RA [1.37 (1.23-1.54)], CVD [1.34 (1.03-1.74)], chronic pulmonary disease (CPD) [1.22 (1.08-1.37)], neurological disease [1.19 (1.05-1.35)], opioid use [1.53 (1.35-1.73)] and iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) [1.15 (1.13-1.17)] were also significantly correlated with higher rate of PJI. Conversely, dysplasia or dislocation [0.65 (0.45-0.93)], and OA [0.70 (0.62-0.79)] were protective factors. Of Note, female gender was protective for PJI only after longer follow-up. Besides, age, smoking, alcohol abuse, previous joint surgery, renal disease, hypertension, cancer, steroid use and liver disease were not closely related with PJI risk.ConclusionOur finding suggested that the individual-related risk factors for PJI after primary THA included high BMI, DM, AVN, femoral neck fracture, RA, CVD, CPD, neurological disease, opioid use and IDA, while protective factors were female gender, dysplasia/ dislocation and OA.

Project description:BackgroundPeriprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) are dreaded complications of total joint arthroplasties. The risk of developing PJIs is likely to be influenced by several patient factors such as sociodemographic characteristics, body mass index (BMI), and medical and surgical histories. However, the nature and magnitude of the long-term longitudinal associations between these patient-related factors and risk of developing PJIs are uncertain.ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the associations between several patient-related factors and PJI.Data sourcesMEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and reference lists of relevant studies from inception to September 2015.Study selectionLongitudinal studies with at least one-year of follow-up for PJIs after total joint arthroplasty.Data extraction and synthesisTwo investigators extracted data on study characteristics, methods, and outcomes. A consensus was reached with involvement of a third. The relative risk (RR) with 95% confidence intervals was used as the summary measure of association across studies. Study-specific RRs with 95% confidence intervals were meta-analysed using random effect models and were grouped by study-level characteristics.ResultsSixty-six observational (23 prospective cohort and 43 retrospective cohort or case-control) studies with data on 512,508 participants were included. Comparing males to females and smokers to non-smokers, the pooled RRs for PJI were 1.36 (1.18-1.57) and 1.83 (1.24-2.70) respectively. There was no evidence of any significant associations of PJI with age and high alcohol intake. Comparing BMI ≥ 30 versus < 30 kg/m(2); ≥ 35 versus < 35 kg/m(2); and ≥ 40 versus < 40 kg/m(2); the pooled RRs were 1.60 (1.29-1.99); 1.53 (1.22-1.92); and 3.68 (2.25-6.01) respectively. Histories of diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, depression, steroid use, and previous joint surgery were also associated with increased risk of PJI. The results remained similar when grouped by relevant study level characteristics.ConclusionsSeveral potentially modifiable patient-related factors are associated with the risk of developing PJIs. Identifying patients with these risk factors who are due to have arthroplasty surgery and modulating these risk factors might be essential in reducing the incidence of PJI. Further research is however warranted to assess the potential clinical utility of these risk factors as risk assessment tools for PJI.Systematic review registrationPROSPERO 2015: CRD42015023485.

Project description:BACKGROUND:The number of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is increasing annually. Animal models have been used to clarify their clinical characteristics and the infection mechanism of pathogenic bacteria, However, since the prosthesis design of animal models is not uniform, it is difficult to simulate the environment of clinical PJI. OBJECTIVES:To retrospect the progress on the prosthesis design of animal models of PJI after TKA and to summarize the criteria for evaluating a clinically representative model of PJI. METHODS:This systematic review was reported on the basis of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA). Pubmed, EMbase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang Data and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were researched for animal models of PJI after TKA from database establishment to April 2019 according to Chinese and English retrieval words, including "periprosthetic joint infections and total knee arthroplasty," "periprosthetic joint infections and model," "periprosthetic joint infections and biofilm," and "total knee arthroplasty and model." RESULTS:A total of 12 quantitative studies were enrolled in our study finally: 8 representative studies described prosthesis designs used in PJI animal models, 4 studies described prosthesis designs in non-infected animal models which were suitable for infection models. The major problems need to be dealed with were prosthesis, installation location, material, the function of separating the articular and medullary cavity, fixation manner, and the procedure of preserving the posterior cruciate ligament. CONCLUSION:A highly representative design of the animal prosthesis of PJI should meet the following criteria: the surface of the prosthesis is smooth with the formation of biofilm, composed of titanium-6Al-4V or cobalt-chromium-molybdenum alloy; prosthesis can bear weight and is highly stable; and it can connect the joint cavity and medullary cavity simultaneously. To reach a more reliable conclusion, further experiments and improvements are required.
