Overview

Cross-sectional study identifies Gram-negative bacteria and female sex as risk factors for periprosthetic joint infections in total hip arthroplasty patients.

Key Points

  • Surgical site infections affected 6% of total hip arthroplasty procedures, revealing significant risk factors.
  • Infections showed 83.4% prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria, particularly Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter baumannii.
  • Retrospective analysis of 300 patients over 7 years indicated demographic factors highly influence infection rates.
  • Implementation of infection prevention protocols may significantly lower the incidence of periprosthetic joint infections.
