Deskripsi
Background: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence, microbiological spectrum, risk factors, and clinical outcomes of unexpected-positive-intraoperative-cultures (UPIC) in presumed aseptic and unclear revision-total-hip-/knee-arthroplasties (rTHA and rTKA) compared to culture-negative (CN) revisions. Methods: This study reviewed all International-consensus-meeting-2018 (ICM 2018) negative or inconclusive rTHA (n = 751) and rTKA (n = 679) performed at our institution from 2011 to 2020 with a minimum follow-up of two years. A Kaplan-Meier-analysis was performed to determine the septic and aseptic-free implant survival in cases with UPIC's and matched culture-negative cases. Patient demographics, risk factors, microbiological spectrum and clinical outcomes were evaluated. Results: There were significantly more UPIC cases in rTHA 196/751 (26.1 %) compared to rTKA 113/679 (16.6 %); (p < 0.001). UPICs in rTKA and rTHA have a lower septic and aseptic implant-free-survival compared to CN revisions. Patients with a history of nickel allergy have a higher risk of an UPIC in rTHA and rTKA (p < 0.001). Septic re-revisions after UPIC had a significantly (H: p = 0.004; K: p = 0.030) shorter time period to the primary/previous surgery (H: 84 (IQR:41–797); K: 115 (IQR:55–446)) compared to patients with aseptic re-revisions after UPIC (H:1248 (IQR:178-3534); K: 827 (IQR:361-1183)). Conclusion: UPICs have a higher rate of septic and aseptic failure than CN outcomes. UPICs are twice as common in rTHA compared to rTKA. Preoperative PJI workup reduces the UPIC rate. Nickel allergy is a risk factor for UPIC. Early revisions with UPICs after primary THA or TKA have a higher risk of septic failure. The translational potential of this article: This article provides new information on revision rates for UPIC and potential risk factors for UPIC and its treatment failure.
