van Veghel MHW, van Steenbergen LN, Wertheim HFL, van der Kooi TII, Schreurs BW, Hannink G. Early Periprosthetic Joint Infections in Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty: Microorganisms, Mortality, and Implant Survival Using a Combined Dataset From the Dutch Arthroplasty Register and the Dutch National Nosocomial Surveillance Network. J Arthroplasty 2024:S0883-5403(24)00721-6. [PMID: 39025275 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.07.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2024] [Revised: 07/09/2024] [Accepted: 07/10/2024] [Indexed: 07/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) can lead to higher re-revision rates and even higher mortality rates that may be associated with the responsible microorganism. We evaluated microorganisms that cause early PJIs in primary total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) and examined mortality as well as PJI re-revision rates after these PJIs, using a combined dataset from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register and the Dutch National Nosocomial Surveillance Network (PREZIES). Secondly, the most common microorganisms that cause PJIs were described according to patient and implant survival. METHODS We included all PREZIES-confirmed PJIs (n = 1,648) from the combined dataset in which primary THAs and TKAs (2012 to 2018) from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register and PREZIES were case-level matched. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed to determine mortality and PJI re-revision rates following PJI revision. RESULTS The most prevalent microorganism in THAs and TKAs was Staphylococcus aureus (THA 34%; TKA 39%), followed by Coagulase-negative staphylococci (THA 20%; TKA 19%), with Staphylococcus epidermidis (THA 12%; TKA 11%) as the most common subtype, and Enterococcus species (THA 8.6%; TKA 5.9%). The 5-year mortality was 15% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 13 to 18) and 18% (CI: 14 to 21) for THA and TKA patients, respectively. The 5-year PJI re-revision rate was 28% (CI: 24 to 34) for THAs and 30% (CI: 24 to 38) for TKAs. In deceased THA patients who had a PJI, Enterococcus species (14%) were more often registered as microorganisms responsible for the PJI than S. epidermidis (8.5%). CONCLUSIONS Over half of the early PJIs in THAs and TKAs in the Netherlands were caused by Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase-negative staphylococci including Staphylococcus epidermidis. Both 5-year mortality and PJI re-revision rates following PJI were relatively high.

J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:151-156. [PMID: 37380141 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2023.06.033] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2022] [Revised: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 06/19/2023] [Indexed: 06/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). This study aimed to determine if the anterior approach (AP) influenced the incidence of early PJI in THA compared to posterior approach (PP). METHODS Record linkage was performed between state-wide hospitalization data and a national joint replacement registry to identify unilateral THA performed via the AP or PP. Complete data on 12,605 AP and 25,569 PP THAs were obtained. Propensity score matching (PSM) was undertaken to match covariates between the approaches. Outcomes were the 90-day PJI hospital readmission rate(using narrow and broad definitions) and 90-day PJI revision rate (defined as component removal or exchange). RESULTS The raw PJI readmission rate for AP was lower than PP (0.8% versus 1.1%, respectively). In the PSM analysis, there was no statistically significant difference in PJI readmission rate between approaches using narrow or broad definition of PJI readmission. In terms of revision for infection, both methods showed AP had a significantly lower rate than PP, with an adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 0.47 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.30, 0.75) for the 1:1 nearest neighbor method and 0.50 (95% CI 0.32, 0.77) for the subclassification method. CONCLUSION After addressing known confounders, there was no significant difference in the 90-day hospital readmission rate for hip PJI between approaches. There was a significantly reduced 90-day PJI revision rate for AP. The difference in revision may reflect differences in the surgical management of PJI between hip approaches rather than a difference in the underlying rate of infection.

Mismatch in Capture of Periprosthetic Joint Infections Between the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI) and a Detailed Regional Periprosthetic Joint Infection Registry. J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:126-131. [PMID: 34563434 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.09.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2021] [Revised: 08/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/01/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND National arthroplasty registries are important sources for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) data and report an average incidence ranging from 0.5% to 2.0%. However, studies have shown that PJI incidence in national arthroplasty registries may be underestimated. Therefore, the incidence of PJI in the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI) was evaluated. METHODS We matched revisions due to infection within 90 days of index procedure in the LROI database (prospectively registered in 2014-2018) with acute PJI cases registered in a Regional Infection Cohort (RIC) and vice versa. The RIC comprised of 1 university hospital, 3 large orthopedic teaching hospitals and 4 general district hospitals, representing 11.3% of all Dutch arthroplasty procedures with a similar case mix. RESULTS From the 352 acute PJIs in the RIC, 166 (47%) were registered in the LROI. Of the 186 confirmed PJI cases not registered in the LROI, 51% (n = 95) were a unregistered Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention procedure without component exchange. The remaining missing PJI cases (n = 91, 49%) were of administrative origin. The acute PJI incidence in the RIC was 1%, compared to a 0.6% incidence of revision <90 days due to infection from LROI data. CONCLUSION Besides unregistered Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention procedures without component exchange, administrative errors are an important source of missing PJI data for the LROI, leading to underestimation of PJI incidence in the Netherlands. A national arthroplasty complication registry, linked to the LROI, might decrease the number of missing PJI cases. Although our study concerns Dutch data, it supports the scarce literature on PJI incidence obtained from national arthroplasty registries, which also reports an underestimation.

Comparison of the success rate after debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) for periprosthetic joint infection among patients with or without a sinus tract. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2021; 22:895. [PMID: 34674675 PMCID: PMC8532350 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-021-04756-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 08/30/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The relevance between the presence of a sinus tract and the failure risk after debridement, antibiotics and implant retention (DAIR) for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after hip or knee arthroplasty is still unclear. This study aimed to compare the success rate of DAIR between patients with or without a sinus tract and to explore the possible risk factors for failure after DAIR in patients with a sinus tract. METHODS Consecutive DAIR cases for PJI after hip or knee arthroplasty between January 2009 and June 2019 with a minimum 1-year follow-up in two tertiary joint arthroplasty centers were included. Patients were classified into the sinus tract group and the non-sinus tract group according to the presence of a sinus tract. The success rate after DAIR were compared using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. Potential risk factors for failure in the sinus group were also explored. RESULTS One hundred seven patients were included. At a median 4.4 years of follow-up, 19 of 52 (36.5%) cases failed in the sinus tract group, while 15 of 55 (27.3%) cases failed in the non-sinus tract group. The 1-year and 5-year cumulative success rates were 71.2% (95% confidence interval (CI): 59.8-84.6%) and 56.8% (95% CI: 42.6-75.7%) in the sinus tract group, respectively, which were similar to the counterparts in the non-sinus tract group (P = 0.214). Among patients with a sinus tract, DAIR with the exchange of modular components showed a higher success rate (75.8% versus 47.4%, P = 0.038). CONCLUSIONS The presence of a sinus tract does not affect the success rate of DAIR. Modular component exchange in DAIR was proposed for patients with a sinus tract for an improved infection control rate.

Abstract
Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) is a procedure to treat a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The timing between the primary procedure and the DAIR is likely a determinant for its successful outcome. However, the optimal timing of a DAIR and the chance of success still remain unclear. We aimed to assess the risk of re-revision within 1 year after a DAIR procedure and to evaluate the timing of the DAIR in primary THA and TKA. We used data from the Dutch Arthroplasty Register (LROI) and selected all primary THA and TKA in the period 2007-2016 which underwent a DAIR within 12 weeks after primary procedure. A DAIR was defined as a revision for infection in which only modular parts were exchanged. A DAIR was defined as successful if not followed by a re-revision within 1 year after DAIR; 207 DAIRs were performed < 4 weeks after THA, of which 16 (8 %) received a complete revision within 1 year. DAIR procedures performed between 4 and 12 weeks ( n = 98 ) had a failure rate of 9 % ( n = 9 ). After TKA 126 DAIRs were performed in less than 4 weeks, of which 11 (9 %) received a complete revision within 1 year; 83 DAIRs were performed between 4 and 12 weeks, of which 14 (17 %) were revised. There was no significant difference in 1-year re-revision rate after a DAIR procedure by timing of the DAIR procedure for total hip and knee arthroplasty based on Dutch registry data.

Abstract
Background and purpose - Proton-pump inhibitors (PPI) have previously been associated with an increased risk of infections such as community-acquired pneumonia, gastrointestinal infections and central nervous system infection. Therefore, we evaluated a possible association between proton-pump inhibitor use and prosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA), because they can be stopped perioperatively or switched to a less harmful alternative.Patients and methods - A cohort of 5,512 primary THAs provided the base for a case-cohort design; cases were identified as patients with early-onset PJI. A weighted Cox proportional hazard regression model was used for the study design and to adjust for potential confounders.Results - There were 75 patients diagnosed with PJI of whom 32 (43%) used PPIs perioperatively compared with 75 PPI users (25%) in the control group of 302 patients. The risk of PJI was 2.4 times higher (95% CI 1.4-4.0) for patients using PPI. This effect remained after correction for possible confounders.Interpretation - The use of PPIs was associated with an increased risk of developing PJI after THA. Hence, the use of a PPI appears to be a modifiable risk factor for PJI.

Is Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Instillation Suitable for the Treatment of Acute Periprosthetic Hip Joint Infection? J Clin Med 2021; 10:jcm10153246. [PMID: 34362030 PMCID: PMC8347389 DOI: 10.3390/jcm10153246] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2021] [Revised: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 07/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/27/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) can be devastating for the patient and demanding for the surgeon. In acute PJI, attempts are made to retain the prosthesis by debridement of the infected tissue, targeted antibiotic therapy and an exchange of modular components with implant retention (DAIR). There has been sparse research with adjunctive negative pressure wound treatment with wound irrigation (NPWTI) on the treatment outcome. Questions/purposes: The goal was to assess the efficacy of our protocol of DAIR with adjunctive NPWTI in acute PJI and to reduce the need for later additional DAIR and Irrigation and Debridement (I and D). Patients and Methods: Our cohort of 30 patients (31 hips) with acute PJI was divided into two groups based on symptom presentation up to 6 weeks or >6 weeks from prior (index) surgery (acute early or acute late groups, respectively). All received DAIR with an exchange of modular components and NPWTI with polyhexanide instillation, with the goal of bacterial elimination and biofilm elimination. Postoperatively, the patients were followed up clinically and radiographically for a mean of 4.3 years. Results: Of the 31 PJI hips, 19 were early acute and 12 were late acute. In total, 21 hips had no evidence of residual infection, 10 required further surgical revision: 1 due to dislocation and 9 due to infection. Of these nine, seven had a removal of all the components and two were treated with irrigation and debridement (I and D), with the demise of one patient from pneumonia shortly after the procedure. The Kaplan–Meier 60-month revision free implant survival from infection was 73.2% (CI: 58.9–91.0%) and at the final follow up, the mean Harris Hip Score (HHS) was 81.1 ± 11.8 and the mean WOMAC score was 33.3 ± 20.1. Conclusions: Our results are in line with those reported in prior studies. However, the utility of our protocol is inconclusive and needs further evaluation based on our small cohort and the lack of a control group. Level of Evidence: IV.

Abstract
Background and purpose - The optimal type and duration of antibiotic prophylaxis for primary arthroplasty of the hip and knee are subject to debate. We compared the risk of complete revision (obtained by a 1- or 2-stage procedure) for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary total hip or knee arthroplasty between patients receiving a single dose of prophylactic antibiotics and patients receiving multiple doses of antibiotics for prevention of PJI. Patients and methods - A cohort of 130,712 primary total hip and 111,467 knee arthroplasties performed between 2011 and 2015 in the Netherlands was analyzed. We linked data from the Dutch arthroplasty register to a survey collected across all Dutch institutions on hospital-level antibiotic prophylaxis policy. We used restricted cubic spline Poisson models adjusted for hospital clustering to compare the risk of revision for infection according to type and duration of antibiotic prophylaxis received. Results - For total hip arthroplasties, the rates of revision for infection were 31/10,000 person-years (95% CI 28-35), 39 (25-59), and 23 (15-34) in the groups that received multiple doses of cefazolin, multiple doses of cefuroxime, and a single dose of cefazolin, respectively. The rates for knee arthroplasties were 27/10,000 person-years (95% CI 24-31), 40 (24-62), and 24 (16-36). Similar risk of complete revision for infection among antibiotic prophylaxis regimens was found when adjusting for confounders. Interpretation - In a large observational cohort we found no apparent association between the type or duration of antibiotic prophylaxis and the risk of complete revision for infection. This does question whether there is any advantage to the use of prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis beyond a single dose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variation in 1-year revision rates between Dutch hospitals after primary total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA) may direct quality-improvement initiatives if this variation accurately reflects true hospital differences. The aim of the present study was to assess the extent of variation, both overall and for specific indications, as well as the statistical reliability of ranking hospitals. METHODS All primary THAs and TKAs that were performed between January 2014 and December 2016 were included. Observed/expected (O/E) ratios regarding 1-year revision rates were depicted in a funnel plot with 95% control limits to identify outliers based on 1 or 3 years of data, both overall and by specific indication for revision. The expected number was calculated on the basis of patient mix with use of logistic regression models. The statistical reliability of ranking hospitals (rankability) on these outcomes indicates the percentage of total variation that is explained by "true" hospital differences rather than chance. Rankability was evaluated using fixed and random effects models, for overall revisions and specific indications for revision, including 1 versus 3 years of data. RESULTS The present study included 86,468 THAs and 73,077 TKAs from 97 and 98 hospitals, respectively. Thirteen hospitals performing THAs were identified as negative outliers (median O/E ratio, 1.9; interquartile range [IQR], 1.5-2.5), with 5 hospitals as outliers in multiple years. Eight negative outliers were identified for periprosthetic joint infection; 4, for dislocation; and 2, for prosthesis loosening. Seven hospitals performing TKAs were identified as negative outliers (median O/E ratio, 2.3; IQR, 2.2-2.8), with 2 hospitals as outliers in multiple years. Two negative outlier hospitals were identified for periprosthetic joint infection and 1 was identified for technical failures. The rankability for overall revisions was 62% (moderate) for THA and 46% (low) for TKA. CONCLUSIONS There was large between-hospital variation in 1-year revision rates after primary THA and TKA. For most outlier hospitals, a specific indication for revision could be identified as contributing to worse performance, particularly for THA; these findings are starting points for quality-improvement initiatives.

Sanchez M, Losada C. What Prophylactic Antibiotic (Type, Dose and Route of Administration) Should Be Administered Perioperatively for Patients Undergoing Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA)? Foot Ankle Int 2019; 40:8S-9S.

Abstract
RECOMMENDATION The administration of prophylactic antibiotics before total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) potentially reduces the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) and/or periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Weight-based (of at least 2 g) cefazolin administered intravenously within 60 minutes before the procedure can be an adequate choice for antibiotic prophylaxis. If the patient has a beta-lactam anaphylaxis, we recommend an appropriate alternative antibiotic effective against Staphylococcus. It is unclear whether prophylaxis should be given as a single dose or as multiple doses. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Strong. DELEGATE VOTE Agree: 100%, Disagree: 0%, Abstain: 0% (Unanimous, Strongest Consensus).

First results of a uniform regional treatment protocol and registration for acute prosthetic join infection in the South-East of the Netherlands. J Bone Jt Infect 2019; 4:133-139.

Abstract
Introduction: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a relatively uncommon (average incidence 0.5-2%) but devastating complication, with significant morbidity and leading to tremendously increased health care costs. In 2013, delegates from nine hospitals covering a large region in the South-East Netherlands composed one combined treatment protocol for acute PJI of total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA). This protocol was based on the definition of acute PJI according to Workgroup of the American Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) and the principles of debridement, antibiotics, irrigation and retention (DAIR). Methods: Patients with a THA or TKA treated with DAIR because of suspicion of PJI were selected from the online PJI database. PJI was defined as at least two phenotypically identical pathogens, isolated in cultures from at least two separate tissues, obtained from the affected prosthetic joint. Acute PJIs, occurring within 90 days after primary implantation, between January 2014 and December 2016, were analyzed. We analyzed the PJI incidence rate, patient clinical and microbiological characteristics of PJI, outcome of the DAIR treatment and adherence to the regional protocol. Results: A total of 310 primary THA or TKA with a suspected PJI were registered in the regional PJI database, 236 met the definition of acute PJI, representing overall incidence of 1.12%. Following the regional treatment protocol replacement of exchangeable parts took place in 45% in 2014 to 70% in 2016. After 12 months follow-up, prosthesis retention was achieved in 87% and 3% of the patients died within one year after the primary surgery. Conclusion: Results of the regional cohort are in line with the available literature. Regional collaboration and regular feedback on registered data resulted in better adherence to the combined treatment protocol. Despite our attempts to improve PJI care, PJI remains a serious complication of THA and TKA with a significant mortality rate and burden for the patient.
