To determine the significance of positive blood cultures as a risk factor for DAIR failure in patients with hematogenous total knee arthroplasty infection.
Level III study design assessing cases of haematogenous total knee arthroplasty infections.
Evaluation of blood culture results and DAIR outcomes.
Statistical analysis of the relationship between blood culture positivity and DAIR failure.
Positive blood cultures correlated with a higher rate of DAIR failure.
Identified blood culture positivity as a significant risk factor for poor outcomes.
Suggests the need for enhanced clinical vigilance in affected patients.
