Comparison between the Staphylococci aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci infected total joint arthroplasty treated by two-stage revision: A retrospective study with two year minimum follow-up.
Journal of Orthopaedic Science : Official Journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association 2018 September 2
BACKGROUND: Staphylococcus species are major pathogens of peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI). Coagulase-positive staphylococci and coagulase-negative staphylococci have different intrinsic virulences. However, few studies have specifically compared the clinical manifestations and two-stage revision outcomes of PJI caused by these two species.
METHODS: We retrospectively collected 260 arthroplasty patients who underwent a two-stage revision because of PJI from January 2003 to June 2015 in our institute because of PJI. Sixty-four patients (36 hips and 28 knees) and 23 patients (13 hips and 10 knees) were infected by coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and SA, respectively.
RESULTS: The preoperative mean ESR value of the SA group was higher than that of the CoNS group (median, 60.9 VS 35.9; P < 0.001). Seventeen (73.9%) of the 23 SA infected patients had a sinus tract, while only 12 (18.8%) of the 64 CoNS-infected patients had this symptom (73.9% VS 18.8%; P < 0.001). At the time of follow-up, 58 (90.6%) of the 64 CoNS-infected patients had successfully controlled the infection. In the SA group, 20 (87.0%) patients ultimately acquired successful control (90.6% VS 87.0%; P = 0.923). Surgical history was identified as a potential risk factor (OR = 6.2, 95%CI 1.17-32.4) for prognosis when potential covariates were adjusted.
CONCLUSIONS: SA infection has a higher ESR value and a more frequent occurrence of sinus tract. The infection control rate of the two-stage revision protocol was close to 90% for both SA and CoNS species, and there is no statistically significant difference in the eradication rate of infection between the SA and CoNS groups. Surgical history may be a good predictor of failure for PJI patients treated with two-stage revision.
