We evaluated the treatment outcome in late acute (LA) periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) treated with debridement and implant retention (DAIR) versus implant removal.
In a large multicenter study, LA PJIs of the hip and knee were retrospectively evaluated. Failure was defined as: PJI related death, prosthesis removal or the need for suppressive antibiotic therapy. LA PJI was defined as acute symptoms <3 weeks in patients more than 3 months after the index surgery and with a history of normal joint function.
445 patients were included, comprising 340 cases treated with DAIR and 105 cases treated with implant removal (19% one-stage revision (n = 20), 74.3% two-stage revision (n = 78) and 6.7% definitive implant removal (n = 7). Overall failure in patients treated with DAIR was 45.0% (153/340) compared to 24.8% (26/105) for implant removal (p < 0.001). Difference in failure rate remained after 1:1 propensity-score matching. A preoperative CRIME80-score ≥3 (OR 2.9), PJI caused by S. aureus (OR 1.8) and implant retention (OR 3.1) were independent predictors for failure in the multivariate analysis.
DAIR is a viable surgical treatment for most patients with LA PJI, but implant removal should be considered in a subset of patients, especially in those with a CRIME80-score ≥3.
我们评估了清创保留假体（DAIR）与假体取出治疗晚期急性（LA）人工关节周围感染（PJI）的治疗效果。
在一项大型多中心研究中，回顾性评估了髋膝关节 LA PJI。失败定义为：与 PJI 相关的死亡、假体取出或需要进行抑制性抗生素治疗。LA PJI 定义为指数手术后 3 个月以上的患者出现急性症状<3 周，且关节功能正常。
共纳入 445 例患者，其中 340 例接受 DAIR 治疗，105 例接受假体取出治疗（19%为一期翻修（n=20），74.3%为二期翻修（n=78），6.7%为确定性假体取出（n=7）。DAIR 治疗的患者总失败率为 45.0%（153/340），而假体取出的患者为 24.8%（26/105）（p<0.001）。1:1 倾向评分匹配后，差异仍然存在。多变量分析显示，术前 CRIME80 评分≥3（OR 2.9）、金黄色葡萄球菌引起的 PJI（OR 1.8）和假体保留（OR 3.1）是失败的独立预测因素。
对于大多数 LA PJI 患者，DAIR 是一种可行的手术治疗方法，但对于某些患者，特别是 CRIME80 评分≥3 的患者，应考虑取出假体。
