Materials And Methods: A multicenter cohort of 136 patients with a painful arthroplasty was classified into either infected or noninfected according to the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) score, Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) score, European Bone and Joint Infection Society (EBJIS) score. The sensitivity and specificity of the ADLF test were calculated for each score.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative joint aspiration cultures in guiding antibiotic treatment for prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) during immediate postoperative care.
- The researchers analyzed data from adult patients who underwent exchange procedures for PJIs, focusing on the agreement between preoperative culture results and the pathogens identified during surgery.
- Results indicated that preoperative cultures correctly identified the causative pathogen in 68% of cases, with a particularly high predictive value for Gram-positive organisms, suggesting that broad-spectrum antibiotics could be adjusted based on these results.
Aims: The purpose of this current multicentre study is to analyse the presence of alpha-defensin proteins in synovial fluid using the Synovasure lateral flow device and to determine its diagnostic reliability and accuracy compared with the prosthetic joint infection (PJI) criteria produced by the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS).
Patients And Methods: A cohort of 121 patients comprising 85 total knee arthroplasties and 36 total hip arthroplasties was prospectively evaluated between May 2015 and June 2016 in three different orthopaedic centres. The tests were performed on patients with a chronically painful prosthesis undergoing a joint aspiration in a diagnostic pathway or during revision surgery.
