Risk factors for surgical site infections in knee and hip arthroplasty patients
Abstract
We performed a retrospective cohort study to identify risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) in patients with hip and knee arthroplasty in a high-volume orthopedic center with low overall SSI rates. Active smoking and revision arthroplasty both increased the risk for SSI. Former smokers were seen to have a lower SSI risk, demonstrating a potential benefit in implementing mandated smoking secession programs.
Keywords: Hip Arthroplasty; Knee Arthroplasty; Prosthetic Joint Infection; Smoking Cessation; Surgical Site Infection; Tobacco Abuse Disorder.
