Corticosteroid injections (CSI) may increase the risk of peri-prosthetic infections (PJI) following total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Our study specifically assessed the risk of PJI in patients who received CSI: (1) less than 4 weeks prior to TSA; (2) 4-8 weeks prior to TSA; and (3) 8-12 weeks prior to TSA.
A national all-payer database was queried to identify patients who underwent TSA with a shoulder osteoarthritis diagnosis from October 1, 2015 to October 31, 2020 (n = 25,422). There were four cohorts: CSI within 4 weeks of TSA (n = 214), CSI 4-8 weeks prior to TSA (n = 473), CSI 8-12 weeks prior to TSA (n = 604), and a control cohort that did not receive CSI (n = 15,486). Bivariate chi-square analyses of outcomes were performed in addition to multivariate regression.
A significant increase in PJI risk at 1 year (Odds Ratio [OR] = 2.29, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 1.19-3.99, p = 0.007) and 2 years (OR = 2.03, CI = 1.09-3.46, p = 0.016) in patients who received CSI within 1 month of TSA was noted. PJI risk was not significantly increased at any time point for patients who received a CSI greater than 4 weeks prior to TSA (all p ≥ 0.396).
PJI risk is increased at both 1 and 2 years post-operatively in patients who received a CSI within 4 weeks of TSA. Therefore, TSA should be deferred at least 4 weeks after a patient receives a CSI to mitigate PJI risk.

皮质类固醇注射(CSI)可能会增加全肩关节置换术后(TSA)发生假体周围感染(PJI)的风险。我们的研究专门评估了接受 CSI 的患者发生 PJI 的风险:(1)在 TSA 前不到 4 周;(2)在 TSA 前 4-8 周;和(3)在 TSA 前 8-12 周。
使用全国所有支付者数据库,从 2015 年 10 月 1 日至 2020 年 10 月 31 日,对接受肩关节炎诊断的 TSA 患者进行了查询(n=25422)。有四个队列:在 TSA 前 4 周内接受 CSI(n=214)、在 TSA 前 4-8 周内接受 CSI(n=473)、在 TSA 前 8-12 周内接受 CSI(n=604)和未接受 CSI 的对照组(n=15486)。除了多元回归外,还进行了结果的双变量卡方分析。
在 TSA 后 1 年(优势比 [OR] = 2.29,95%置信区间 [CI] = 1.19-3.99,p=0.007)和 2 年(OR=2.03,CI=1.09-3.46,p=0.016)时,接受 TSA 前 1 个月内接受 CSI 的患者发生 PJI 的风险显著增加。对于接受 CSI 大于 4 周前的患者,在任何时间点都没有明显增加 PJI 风险(所有 p≥0.396)。
在接受 TSA 前 4 周内接受 CSI 的患者,在术后 1 年和 2 年时 PJI 风险增加。因此,为了降低 PJI 风险,应至少在患者接受 CSI 后 4 周再进行 TSA。
