Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this study was to evaluate the management of orthopaedic device-related infections (ODRIs) due to Enterococcus spp. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study in a French tertiary university hospital. Patients with prosthetic joint- or osteosynthesis-associated infections caused by enterococci from 2013 to 2020 were included. Patients who died within 5 days after surgery; who were in palliative care; or who had osteosynthesis of the hand, foot or vertebra were excluded. RESULTS Thirty-six patients were included, with 24 in the arthroplasty group and 12 in the osteosynthesis material group. Most infections were polymicrobial (63.9%, n = 23). Debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) was performed in 30.6% (n = 11), withdrawal of material in 16.7% (n = 6), one-stage exchange in 30.6% (n = 11) and two-stage exchange in 22.2% of cases (n = 8). The antibiotic regimen was amoxicillin in 41.6% (n = 15), rifampicin in 27.8% (n = 10), linezolid in 25% (n = 9) and/or fluoroquinolones in 30.6% (n = 11). Clinical success at 1 year was 67% (18/27). The only variable statistically associated with a decreased risk of clinical failure was a duration of antibiotic therapy of 12 weeks (p = 0.04). Patients with a lower body mass index and age tended to decrease the risk of clinical failure (p = 0.05 and 0.06 respectively). CONCLUSIONS The management of enterococcal ODRIs is complex, and ODRI patients are at high risk for relapse. In our small study, a better outcome was not demonstrated for patients with combination therapy and rifampicin use. Further studies are needed to improve the medico-surgical strategy for treating these infections.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the population ages and demand for total joint arthroplasty increases, rates of periprosthetic joint infection are expected to increase in the geriatric population. Studies comparing prevalence of risk factors, etiology, management, and mortality of prosthetic joint infection in older patients are lacking. METHODS We compared clinical characteristics, management, and mortality of patients <75 vs ≥75 years of age with first prosthetic joint infection of the hip or knee admitted to a tertiary medical center between September 2017 and December 2019. RESULTS Ninety-eight patients (<75 years of age [n = 63]; ≥75 years of age (n = 35) were studied. Groups were similar in terms of etiology, culture-directed therapy, antibiotic suppression, and length of stay. There was no difference in surgical management, performed in almost 97% of cases in both groups. Arrhythmia and heart failure were more prevalent in those aged ≥75 years. Readmission related to prosthetic joint infection occurred less often in older individuals (P = .005). Deaths within 1 year of diagnosis were rare (n = 4; 4.1%), occurring in older patients and resulting mostly from sepsis. CONCLUSION In our single-center study, patients with first prosthetic joint infection had similar management, regardless of age. We identified cardiac history as one of the host factors for prosthetic joint infection most seen in patients ≥75 years of age. Although deaths were rare, 1-year mortality was higher in patients aged ≥75. Prospective, multicenter studies are needed to explore risk factors and management strategies of prosthetic joint infection among elderly populations.

[PMID: 35794870 PMCID: PMC9251973 DOI: 10.1177/21514593221111649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/23/2021] [Revised: 06/16/2022] [Accepted: 06/18/2022] [Indexed: 12/04/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction In the background of the aging population, an increase of geriatric patients with specific age-related co-morbidities has already been seen over the years for proximal femur fractures in orthopaedic surgery as well as other medical disciplines. However, the geriatric aspect has not been well recognized in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) patients so far. Therefore, this paper seeks to provide an overview on the co-morbidities of PJI patients with respect to the definition of geriatric patients. Material and methods In this single-center retrospective study, patients treated between 2007 and 2020 for PJI were included (n = 255). Patients were defined as geriatric according to the consensus definition criteria of the Federal Working Group of Clinical Geriatric Facilities e.V., the German Society for Geriatrics e.V. and the German Society for Gerontology and Geriatrics e.V. based on age (≤70 years), geriatric multimorbidity and the Barthel index (≤30). Results Applying the criteria defined 184 of the 255 (72.2%) PJI patients as geriatric infection patients. Regarding geriatric comorbidity, incontinence was most prevalent (38.1%), followed by immobility (25.6%). Comparing the geriatric infection patients with those classified as non-geriatric (n = 71) revealed that geriatric patients had a longer hospital stay and spent more days in the intensive care unit (ICU). Also, the amputation rate and the 5-year mortality rate was significantly increased (n = 15, 8.2% vs n = 1, 1.4%, P = .007 and n = 24, 13.0% vs n = 5, 7.0%, P = .005). The Barthel index showed a significant correlation with mortality (r = -.22, P = .011). Discussion We propose to use the term orthogeriatric infection patients in those cases in order to focus treatment not only on the orthopaedic infections but also on the important geriatric aspects. Conclusion The inclusion of geriatric physicians into the multidisciplinary team approach for PJI patients might be beneficial.

Higher rates of surgical and medical complications and mortality following TKA in patients aged ≥ 80 years: a systematic review of comparative studies. EFORT Open Rev 2021; 6:1052-1062.

Abstract
The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize studies published since the last systematic review in 2015 that compare outcomes of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in older patients (≥ 80 years) and in younger patients (< 80 years), in terms of complication rates and mortality. An electronic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Embase®, and Cochrane Register. Studies were included if they compared outcomes of primary TKA for osteoarthritis in patients aged 80 years and over to patients aged under 80 years, in terms of complication rates, mortality, or patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Thirteen studies were eligible. Surgical complications in older patients ranged from 0.6–21.1%, while in younger patients they ranged from 0.3–14.6%. Wound complications in older patients ranged from 0.5–20%, while in younger patients they ranged from 0.8–22.0%. Medical complications (cardiac, respiratory, thromboembolic) in older patients ranged from 0.4–17.3%, while in younger patients they ranged from 0.2–11.5%. Mortality within 90 days in older patients ranged between 0–2%, while in younger patients it ranged between 0.0–0.03%. Compared to younger patients, older patients have higher rates of surgical and medical complications, as well as higher mortality following TKA. The literature also reports greater length of stay for older patients, but inconsistent findings regarding PROs. The present findings provide surgeons and older patients with clearer updated evidence, to make informed decisions regarding TKA, considering the risks and benefits within this age group. Patients aged over 80 years should therefore not be excluded from consideration for primary TKA based on age alone.

Severe adverse events during medical and surgical treatment of hip and knee prosthetic joint infections. Infect Dis Now 2020; 51:346-350. [PMID: 33096203 DOI: 10.1016/j.medmal.2020.10.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2019] [Revised: 04/02/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The management of prosthetic joint infection requires a complex treatment procedure and can be associated with complications. However, the occurrence of severe adverse events during this intervention has been poorly evaluated. PATIENTS AND METHODS A 5-year multicentric retrospective study including patients from 3 hospitals in the South-Western France referral center for complex bone and joint infections (Crioac GSO) and treated for hip or knee prosthetic joint infection with 1 or 2-stage implant exchanges. The objective was to describe grade≥3 adverse events, according to the CTCAE classification, occurring within 6 weeks after surgery and to identify their associated factors. RESULTS One hundred and eighteen patients were identified. We observed 71 severe events in 50 patients (42.3%; 95% confidence interval [CI95%]: 33.8-51.4%). Sixteen severe events were an evolution of the infection. The remaining 55 others (47 grade 3 and 8 grade 4) occurred in 41 patients (34.7%; CI95%: 26.8-43.7%). They were distributed as follows: 27 (49.1%) medical complications, 21 (38.2%) surgical complications and 7 (12.7%) antibiotic-related complications. The main identified risk factor was a two-stage prosthetic exchange with OR=3.6 (CI95% [1.11-11.94], P=0.032). Obesity was limit of significance with OR=3.3 (CI95% [0.9-12.51], P=0.071). Infection with coagulase negative Staphylococcus was a protective factor with OR=0.3 (CI95% [0.12-0.99], P=0.047). CONCLUSION Severe adverse events are frequent following prosthetic exchange for PJI (34.7%) and are related to the high frequency of comorbidities in this population and to the complex surgical procedures required. The risk factor significantly associated with these events was a two-stage exchange.
