Incidence of periprosthetic joint infection after primary total hip arthroplasty is underestimated: a synthesis of meta-analysis and bibliometric analysis

Abstract The American Musculoskeletal Society updated the diagnostic criteria for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in 2011 and 2018. However, the overall incidence of PJI since the introduction of these new standards has not been assessed. In order to fill this knowledge gap, a single-group meta...

description Abstract The American Musculoskeletal Society updated the diagnostic criteria for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in 2011 and 2018. However, the overall incidence of PJI since the introduction of these new standards has not been assessed. In order to fill this knowledge gap, a single-group meta-analysis was conducted using articles obtained from several databases, focusing on the incidence of PJI after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Our study revealed a significant difference in the incidence of PJI reported by different national or regional databases. Moreover, most cases of PJI were found to be underestimated. This highlights the crucial need for standardized diagnostic criteria and monitoring methods to accurately identify and track cases of PJI. Furthermore, a bibliometric analysis was conducted to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of research on PJI after THA. This analysis explored the most productive countries, organizations, journals, and individuals in this research area. Additionally, it identified the research trends and hotspots of the last decade, highlighting the advancements and areas of focus in this field. By conducting these analyses, the study aims to contribute to the understanding of PJI after THA and provide valuable insights for clinicians, researchers, and policymakers involved in the management of this condition.
