{"title":"Implementation of Outpatient Parenteral Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) in Patients with Complicated Periprosthetic Joint Infections.","authors":"Anne Strassburg, Andreas T Weber, Torsten Kluba","doi":"10.1055/a-2288-7187","DOIUrl":"10.1055/a-2288-7187","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) are a serious complication of arthroplasty with high morbidity. With growing bacterial resistance and limited disposability of oral antibiotics with sufficient bioavailability, the need for intravenous antibiotic application is raising. This causes long-term hospital stays and rising costs. In the course of transferring procedures into an outpatient setting as well as coping with pressures on hospital capacity, outpatient parenteral antimicrobial therapy (OPAT) can build a bridge for the treatment of such infections.In a single centre analysis, 47 cases treated with OPAT were studied in relation to pathogen, antimicrobial resistance, indication for OPAT and follow up. Furthermore, the patients received an anonymised questionnaire with 4 clusters of interest in terms of internal quality assessment on the success and evaluation of this therapeutic procedure. Special attention was paid to the descriptive analysis of patients with periprosthetic joint infections (n = 30).Between May 2021 and October 2022 out of 47 patients with OPAT, 30 cases with periprosthetic joint infections were identified. For infected hip- and knee arthroplasties, a remarkable spectrum of pathogens was found. In hip infections highly resistant strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterococci were detected. In knee infections, the pathogens were more susceptible, but however highly virulent Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococci. Difficult to treat, mixed infections were found in both locations. The indication for OPAT was based in half of the cases on the high level of antimicrobial resistance, with availability of only parenteral applicable antibiotics. Further indications were mixed infections and difficult to treat pathogens, with flucloxacillin therapy as well as OPAT as the last therapeutic option. The questionnaire showed 96% patient satisfaction in terms of organisation and acceptance of this kind of therapy. Complications or unexpected outpatient/ hospital treatments were very rare in connection with OPAT. Two thirds of patients reported completion of the treatment. In the clinical follow up (average of 5.7 months), 96.6% of cases were declared free of infection. In one patient the infection persisted.OPAT is a safe and reliable therapeutic option for outpatients to continue parenteral antimicrobial treatment in joint infections. Due to increasing pressure on hospitals in terms of costs and capacity, this therapy offers an alternative to inpatient treatment. The indication for OPAT should be set individually, risk adjusted and not generalised for all patients. The outpatient sector needs financial and structural support for comprehensive roll-out of this treatment in Germany. A further focus should be on the prevention of periprosthetic joint infections. With the knowledge of the expected pathogens and the surgical resources, the standards should be adapted. The choice of the antibiotic should be specified and the interv","PeriodicalId":94274,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und Unfallchirurgie","volume":" ","pages":"35-43"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141158739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents, for the first time, a descriptive analysis based on billing data from 2022 of coded shoulder diseases affecting 4.9 million insured individuals of a statutory health insurance in Baden-Württemberg. The study distinguishes between accident-related shoulder injuries and diseases caused by degenerative changes in the shoulder. In ICD-10 coding, a distinction is made between specific codes (using key numbers of the underlying disease) and non-specific codes that only encode the symptom. According to billing data, women were slightly more affected by shoulder diseases than men (7.3% vs. 6.9%), with women being significantly older on average at the time of diagnosis. For fractures, the gender difference averaged 20 years. The analysis of coding behaviour revealed that general practitioners coded non-specific shoulder diseases, such as joint pain or impingement syndrome, more frequently than other specialist groups. The analysis of the claiming of benefits showed that only one-third of the evaluated patients received imaging, and only 40% received a prescription for physiotherapy due to a shoulder diagnosis. The investigation of comorbidities found that patients with degenerative shoulder diseases were more frequently affected by metabolic diseases and hypertension than those without shoulder diseases. These results regarding the frequency of coded shoulder diseases in various health sectors demonstrate their importance in the Federal Republic of Germany for both men and women. In summary, the evaluations-despite methodological limitations-suggest that there may be potential for more specific coding in the diagnosis and prescription of therapeutic measures. A more precise understanding of the actual cause of claiming health services can be helpful for the provider to initiate specific diagnostic and therapeutic measures and identify a potentially increased need for care within the health system in the Federal Republic of Germany.</p>","PeriodicalId":94274,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift fur Orthopadie und Unfallchirurgie","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142804243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a severe complication with a high risk for poor clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to proof that a salvage algorithm for infected HTO with unstable bone situation leads to an infection-free status and bone union of the osteotomy and that correct limb alignment can be restored with good knee function.The study included seven patients with peri-implant infections following HTO. Infections occurred 83 ± 58.9 days (range: 24-191) after HTO. All patients underwent the \"RESTORE\" algorithm: patients received (1) REmoval of the HTO hardware and extensive debridement; (2) the osteotomy was STabilized with a hexapod external fixator (Taylor Spatial Frame, TSF); (3) the osteotomy gap was Opened; and (4) the alignment was REconstructed using the TSF, aiming for the intended limb alignment of the initial HTO. Patient-reported outcomes were assessed 22-36 months after removal of the TSF.After 24 weeks (range: 11-35), an infection-free status and bone healing were achieved. In all cases, the limb was saved, and the previously targeted mechanical axis of the lower limb was restored. All patients reached full extension of the knee joint and at least 110° of flexion. For KOOS: Symptoms 67.86 ± 18.1, Pain 73.41 ± 16.58, ADL 78.99 ± 21.32, Sports 52.14 ± 25.96, and QoL 41.96 ± 24.66.

The concept allows for saving the limb and obtaining the previously planned limb alignment. Patient-reported outcome measures showed slightly lowered values than healthy samples, but substantially better values than patients awaiting HTO.
