Prevalence of modifiable risk factors in primary elective arthroplasty and their association with infections.
Acta orthopaedica(2023)
Abstract
In a general population undergoing primary TJA an association was found between obesity (52%) and dysglycemia/diabetes (19%) and superficial SSI (8%), which progressed to PJI in 12% of cases, generating a 1% total rate of PJI. Modification of these risk factors might mitigate infectious adverse outcomes.
