Abstract
ObjectiveThe long-term impact of treatment strategies proposed by the IDSA guidelines for patients presenting with methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is not well-known. Patients and methodsRetrospective (2000–2010) cohort study including patients presenting with MSSA hip or knee PJI. A univariate Cox analysis was performed to determine if the non-compliance with IDSA surgical guidelines was a risk factor for treatment failure. ResultsEighty-nine patients with a mean follow-up of 2.8 years were included. Non-compliance with IDSA surgical guidelines was associated with treatment failure (hazard ratio 2.157; 95% CI [1.022–4.7]). The American Society of Anesthesiologists score, inadequate antimicrobial therapy, and a rifampicin-based regimen did not significantly influence patient outcome. ConclusionBased on the IDSA guidelines, if a patient presenting with MSSA PJI is not eligible for implant retention, complete implant removal is needed to limit treatment failure.
