Incidence and risk factors for periprosthetic joint infection: A common data model analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following primary total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and to investigate risk factors in a large cohort utilizing common data model (CDM).

Patients and methods

The entire cohort of primary and revision hip or knee TJA between January 2003 and December 2017 was retrospectively analyzed utilizing the CDM database. We detected patients who had revision TJA as a consequence of PJI. We determined the incidence of PJI and examined risk factors, including demographic features, comorbidities, prior corticosteroid usage, and preoperative laboratory values.

Results

There were 34 revision TJAs as a consequence of PJI (hip, 16; knee, 18) among 12,320 primary TJAs (hip, 4,758; knee 7
