Diagnostic Test Performances for Identifying Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Hip Hemiarthroplasty.
The Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons(2024)
摘要
INTRODUCTION:Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA) that is not well-represented in the literature. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate diagnostic markers for identifying PJI in patients after HHA and compare them with the most recent 2018 International Consensus Meeting on Musculoskeletal Infection criteria.
METHODS:A total of 98 patients (64 PJIs, 65.3%) were analyzed. Patients were identified by relevant Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases-9/10 codes from 2000 to 2021 across a single healthcare system. Preoperative or intraoperative synovial fluid nucleated cell (NC) count, synovial polymorphonuclear (PMN) percentage, serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum white blood cell count were compared with Student t -test between aseptic and septic cohorts. Diagnostic utility and laboratory cutoff values were determined using receiver-operating characteristic curves and Youden index, respectively.
RESULTS:Mean values were significantly higher in the septic cohort for synovial NC count (120,992.2 versus 1,498.0 cells/μL, P < 0.001), synovial PMN percentage (91.3% versus 56.2%, P < 0.001), serum ESR (75.6 versus 36.3 mm/hr, P < 0.001), serum CRP (20.2 versus 125.8 mg/L, P < 0.001), and serum white blood cell count (8.5 versus 11.5 cells/μL, P < 0.001). Synovial NC count, synovial PMN percentage, and serum CRP had excellent PJI discriminatory ability with an area under the curve of 0.99, 0.90, and 0.93, respectively. Optimal cutoffs were 2,700 cells/μL for synovial NC count (100% sensitivity and 94% specificity), 81.0% for synovial PMN percentage (96% sensitivity and 89% specificity), 52.0 mm/hr for serum ESR (75% sensitivity and 80% specificity), and 40.0 mg/L for serum CRP (85% sensitivity and 92% specificity).
CONCLUSION:Our findings support the continued use of routine serum and synovial fluid tests for diagnosing PJI in HHA patients. Optimal cutoff values for both synovial fluid biomarkers were very close in alignment with the 2018 International Consensus Meeting criteria.
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Level III, retrospective comparative study.
