Sex-based differences in risk of revision for infection after hip, knee, shoulder, and ankle arthroplasty in osteoarthritis patients: a multinational registry study of 4,800,000 implants.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

 We aimed to determine sex differences for periprosthetic joint infections after primary arthroplasty of the hip, knee, ankle, and shoulder in osteoarthritis patients in an international perspective.

Methods

 This is a multinational combined arthroplasty registry study. Each arthroplasty registry performed Cox-regression analysis of their data and reported the crude and adjusted hazard ratios (HR) with an a priori designed data form. A random-effects model was used to pool these HRs to estimate an overall HR with 95% confidence interval (CI). Adjustment was undertaken for patient age, BMI, ASA grade, type of fixation, and type of implant. 9 arthroplasty registries participated. Patients who received primary total joint arthroplasty for primary osteoart
