Factors Affecting the Elevation of Inflammatory Markers Before Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Abnormal inflammatory marker levels are often detected in patients who have multiple comorbidities before primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) without a specific infection. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of the elevation of inflammatory markers, distribution of inflammatory markers, and factors affecting the elevation of inflammatory marker levels before primary THA.

Methods

A retrospective review of 511 THA cases from the outpatient clinic of a single institution was conducted. Patients were divided into 2 groups with normal (group A: n = 432) vs abnormal (group B: n = 79) C-reactive protein (CRP) values using threshold for the upper limit of normal of 0.5 mg/dL. Preoperative diagnoses and underlying diseases of the patients were reviewed. Underlying
