Success rate of single versus multiple debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) in hip and knee periprosthetic joint infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This systematic review aimed to compare outcomes between multiple and single debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) procedures for early periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in hip and knee arthroplasty.

Methods

Four databases were searched from inception till January 2024 for original studies investigating the outcomes of multiple DAIR in hip and knee PJI. The primary outcome was the success rate in eradicating joint infection. This review was conducted per PRISMA guidelines.

Results

A total of 9 observational studies with 1104 participants were included, with a mean age and BMI of 58.37 years (95%CI: 25.77-90.98) and 31.43 kg/m² (95%CI: 28.89-34.98), respectively. The mean follow-up period was 58.37 months (95%CI: 25.77-90.98), and
