Salvage Debridement, Antibiotics and Implant Retention ("DAIR") With Local Injection of a Selected Cocktail of Bacteriophages: Is It an Option for an Elderly Patient With Relapsing Staphylococcus aureus Prosthetic-Joint Infection?

ABSTRACT: Local injection of a bacteriophages mix during debridement, antibiotics and implant retention ("DAIR") was performed to treat a relapsing Staphylococcus aureus chronic prosthetic joint infection (PJI). This salvage treatment was safe and associated with a clinical success. Scientific evaluation of the potential clinical benefit of bacteriophages as antibiofilm treatment in PJI is now feasible and required.

Project description:Background: Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) is a valuable option for treating early and acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The inflammation caused by the infection and the surgical intervention during DAIR may influence the long-term stability of the implant. In this study, we analyzed the sequelae of DAIR on implant survival in hip PJI after cure of infection. Methods: Total hip arthroplasties (THAs) from our database implanted between 1992 and 2016 were included in a retrospective double-cohort study. THAs were exposed (DAIR cohort) or not exposed to DAIR (control cohort). The control cohort comprised patients matched 3:1 to the DAIR cohort. The outcome was implant failure over time. It was evaluated for (i) revision for any reason, (ii) aseptic loosening of any component, and (iii) radiographic evidence of loosening. Results: 57 THAs (56 patients) were included in the DAIR cohort and 170 THAs (168 patients) in the control cohort. The mean follow-up periods in the DAIR and control cohorts were 6.1 and 7.8 years, respectively. During follow-up, 20 (36%) patients in the DAIR cohort and 54 (32%) in the control cohort died after a mean of 4.1 and 7.2 years, respectively. Revision for any reason was performed in 9 (16%) THAs in the DAIR cohort and in 10 (6%) THAs (p=0.03) in the control cohort, and revision for aseptic loosening of any component in 5 (9%) and 8 (5%) THAs (p=0.32), respectively. Radiological analysis included 56 THAs in the DAIR cohort and 168 THAs in the control cohort. Two (4%) stems and 2 (4%) cups in the DAIR cohort and 7 (4%) and 1 (0.6%) in the control cohort, respectively, demonstrated radiological signs of failure (p=1). Conclusions: THAs exposed to DAIR were revised for any reason more frequently than were THAs in the control cohort. The difference was mainly caused by septic failures. After cure of PJI, the difference in revisions for aseptic loosening was not significant. There was no significant difference in radiographic evidence of loosening of any component between cohorts. These data suggest that cured hip PJI previously exposed to DAIR do not fail more frequently for aseptic reasons than do THAs not exposed to DAIR.

Project description:Introduction: Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) procedures are effective treatments for acute postoperative or acute hematogenous periprosthetic joint infections. However, literature reporting on the effectiveness of DAIR procedures performed after a one- or two-stage revision because of a prosthetic joint infection (PJI) (PJI-related revision arthroplasty) is scarce. The aim of this study is to retrospectively evaluate the infection control after 1 year of a DAIR procedure in the case of an early postoperative infection either after primary arthroplasty or after PJI-related revision arthroplasty. Materials and methods: All patients treated with a DAIR procedure within 3 months after onset of PJI between 2009 and 2017 were retrospectively included. Data were collected on patient and infection characteristics. All infections were confirmed by applying the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) 2014 criteria. The primary outcome was successful control of infection at 1 year after a DAIR procedure, which was defined as the absence of clinical signs, such as pain, swelling, and erythema; radiological signs, such as protheses loosening; or laboratory signs, such as C-reactive protein (CRP) ( <10 ) with no use of antibiotic therapy. Results: Sixty-seven patients were treated with a DAIR procedure (41 hips and 26 knees). Successful infection control rates of a DAIR procedure after primary arthroplasty ( n=51 ) and after prior PJI-related revision arthroplasty ( n=16 ) were 69 % and 56 %, respectively ( p=0.38 ). The successful infection control rates of a DAIR procedure after an early acute infection ( n=35 ) and after a hematogenous infection ( n=16 ) following primary arthroplasty were both 69 % ( p=1.00 ). Conclusion: In this limited study population, no statistically significant difference is found in infection control after 1 year between DAIR procedures after primary arthroplasty and PJI-related revision arthroplasty.

Project description:IntroductionDebridement and prosthesis retention, combined with a prolonged antibiotic regimen including rifampicin, is an accepted therapeutic approach when the duration of symptoms is less than 4 weeks and there are no radiological signs of loosening. The outcome of patients managed with this strategy has been previously assessed in several articles with success rates of 60-90%. This study aims to review the clinical experience with linezolid in 3 different hospitals from Spain and France in patients with prosthetic joint infection (PJI) managed with debridement, retention of the implant and treated with linezolid with or without rifampicin.MethodsPatients with an acute PJI who underwent open debridement with implant retention treated with linezolid for more than 7 days in 3 hospitals from Barcelona, Tours and Lille between 2005 and 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. Relevant information about demographics, co-morbidity, type of implant, surgical treatment, microorganism isolated, antimicrobial therapy, adverse events (AEs) and outcomes were recorded from patients.ResultsA total of 39 patients were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age (SD) was 70.5 (8.8) years and 9 patients had diabetes mellitus (23%). There were 25 (64%) knee prostheses, 13 (33%) hips and 1 shoulder (3%). The median interquartile range (IQR) days from arthroplasty to infection diagnosis was 17 (19-48) and 33 (85%) cases were diagnosed within the first 60 days. The median (IQR) duration of antibiotic treatment was 70.5 (34-96) days and the median (IQR) number of days on linezolid treatment was 44.5 (30-81). AEs were observed in 15 patients (38%), with gastrointestinal complaints in 8 cases and anemia in 5 being the most frequent. After a median (IQR) follow-up of 2.5 (1.8-3.6) years, there were 11 failures (28%) (8 relapses and 3 new infections). The failure rate was higher in the rifampicin group (36% vs. 18%) mainly due to a higher relapse rate (27% vs. 12%) although differences were not statistically significant.ConclusionManagement of acute PJIs with debridement and retention of the implant linezolid, with or without rifampicin, is associated with a high remission rate and it is an alternative treatment for infections due to fluoroquinolone and/or rifampicin-resistant staphylococci.
