Abstract
Background: Assessing patient's risk of infection is fundamental for prevention of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). The Mayo Prosthetic Joint Infection Risk Score (Mayo Score) is based on data from total hip and knee arthroplasty and has not been validated for application for TAA.
Methods: A total of 405 consecutive TAA cases were followed for 6 months for PJI. Individual patients' Mayo Scores were calculated and analyzed with logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) for predictability for PJI. A critical cut-off Mayo Score for patients at high risk of PJI was determined by best Youden index. Among the Mayo Score-defined high-risk patients, the contribution of different risk factors were compared between the PJI and non-PJI patients.
Results: There were 10 cases of PJI (2.5%) among the 405 cases within 6 months after TAA. Of the 405 patients, the Mayo Scores ranged between -4 and 13 (median 2; interquartile range 0-5). The average Mayo Score was 2.5 ± 3.4 in the non-PJI patients and 7.7 ± 3.1 in the PJI patients (P < .001). Logistic regression showed that the probability of PJI increased with higher Mayo Scores (odds ratio 1.48, 95% CI 1.23-1.78). All but 1 PJI patients had a Mayo Score >5. The sensitivity and specificity were 90.0% and 84.3%, respectively, when a Mayo Score >5 was used as a criterion for high risk of PJI.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the Mayo Score could similarly predict PJI risk after TAA as in total hip and knee arthroplasty. Data analysis suggests that a Mayo Score >5 could be a criterion for identifying high-risk patients for PJI, although further validation with a large number of PJI cases is necessary.
Level of evidence: Level II, developing diagnositic criteria with consecutive cases.
期刊介绍:
Foot & Ankle International (FAI), in publication since 1980, is the official journal of the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS). This monthly medical journal emphasizes surgical and medical management as it relates to the foot and ankle with a specific focus on reconstructive, trauma, and sports-related conditions utilizing the latest technological advances. FAI offers original, clinically oriented, peer-reviewed research articles presenting new approaches to foot and ankle pathology and treatment, current case reviews, and technique tips addressing the management of complex problems. This journal is an ideal resource for highly-trained orthopaedic foot and ankle specialists and allied health care providers.
The journal’s Founding Editor, Melvin H. Jahss, MD (deceased), served from 1980-1988. He was followed by Kenneth A. Johnson, MD (deceased) from 1988-1993; Lowell D. Lutter, MD (deceased) from 1993-2004; and E. Greer Richardson, MD from 2005-2007. David B. Thordarson, MD, assumed the role of Editor-in-Chief in 2008.
The journal focuses on the following areas of interest:
• Surgery
• Wound care
• Bone healing
• Pain management
• In-office orthotic systems
• Diabetes
• Sports medicine
