This study evaluated the association and predictive ability of co-morbidities measured by RxRisk-V, Elixhauser and Charlson measures and post-total hip (THA) and total knee arthroplasties (TKA) infection. THAs and TKAs (2001-2012) were identified using the Australian Department of Veterans' Affairs data. Infections within 90 days post-surgery were the study endpoint. Co-morbidities were identified using pharmacy (RxRisk-V) and hospitalization history (Elixhauser, Charlson). Of the 11,848 THAs, 3.1% (N = 364) had infections and out of 18,972 TKAs 3.4% (N = 648). Comorbidity burden and specific conditions were associated with infection likelihood. RxRisk-V performed better than other measures, but none had high predictive ability and differences were small. The best performing infection prediction models resulted when a combination of conditions identified by all measures was used.
本研究评估了 RxRisk-V、Elixhauser 和 Charlson 测量方法以及全髋关节置换术(THA)和全膝关节置换术(TKA)后合并症与感染之间的关联和预测能力。THA 和 TKA(2001-2012 年)的信息来源于澳大利亚退伍军人事务部的数据。术后 90 天内发生的感染是本研究的终点。合并症通过药房(RxRisk-V)和住院史(Elixhauser、Charlson)确定。在 11848 例 THA 中,有 3.1%(N=364)发生了感染,在 18972 例 TKA 中,有 3.4%(N=648)发生了感染。合并症负担和具体疾病与感染的可能性相关。RxRisk-V 比其他方法表现更好,但都没有很高的预测能力,且差异较小。当使用所有方法确定的组合条件时,预测感染的最佳模型的效果最好。
