To evaluate the effect of oral antimicrobial suppression on the outcome of streptococcal periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).
Consecutive patients with streptococcal PJI receiving antimicrobial suppression for >6 months were prospectively included and compared to a retrospective control group without suppression. Outcome was assessed with Kaplan-Meier analysis and compared by the log-rank Mantel-Cox test. Multivariate analysis was used to identify factors associated with treatment failure.
Of 69 streptococcal PJI episodes (37 knee, 31 hip and one shoulder PJI), 43 (62%) were caused by beta-hemolytic streptococci and 26 (38%) by viridans group streptococci. Debridement and prosthesis retention was performed in 27 (39%), one-stage exchange in 5 (7%), multi-stage exchange in 31 (44%) and prosthesis removal in 6 patients (9%). 24 patients (35%) were treated with antimicrobial suppression receiving oral amoxicillin (n = 22), doxycycline (n = 1) or clindamycin (n = 1). After a median follow-up of 13 months (range, 0.5-111 months), 38 of 65 patients (58%) were infection-free. Suppressive antimicrobial treatment was associated with higher success rate compared with no suppression (93% vs. 57%, p = 0.002), representing the only significant independent factor preventing treatment failure.
Long-term antimicrobial suppression was associated with significantly better treatment outcome and should be strongly considered in streptococcal PJI.
评估口服抗菌药物抑制疗法对链球菌假体周围关节感染(PJI)转归的影响。
前瞻性纳入了连续接受 >6 个月抗菌药物抑制疗法的链球菌 PJI 患者,并与未接受抑制疗法的回顾性对照组进行比较。采用 Kaplan-Meier 分析评估结局,并采用对数秩 Mantel-Cox 检验进行比较。采用多变量分析确定与治疗失败相关的因素。
69 例链球菌 PJI 发作(37 例膝关节、31 例髋关节和 1 例肩关节 PJI)中,43 例(62%)由β-溶血性链球菌引起,26 例(38%)由草绿色链球菌引起。清创和保留假体分别在 27 例(39%)、1 例(1%)、5 例(7%)和 6 例(9%)中实施,1 期置换术在 5 例(7%)、多期置换术在 31 例(44%)中实施。24 例(35%)患者接受了抗菌药物抑制治疗,其中 22 例接受阿莫西林治疗,1 例接受多西环素治疗,1 例接受克林霉素治疗。中位随访 13 个月(0.5-111 个月)后,65 例患者中有 38 例(58%)无感染。与未抑制组相比,抑制组的治疗成功率更高(93% vs. 57%,p=0.002),这是唯一显著的独立预防治疗失败的因素。
长期抗菌药物抑制疗法与更好的治疗结局显著相关,在链球菌 PJI 中应强烈考虑。
