Voigt J, Mosier M, Darouiche R. Antibiotics and antiseptics for preventing infection in people receiving revision total hip and knee prostheses: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials. BMC Infect Dis 2016; 16:749.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infection rates in revision (second and subsequent) major joint arthroplasty continues to be a significant issue with rates 2-3 times those of primary procedures. The effect of antibiotic and antiseptic prophylaxis on outcomes for this type of surgery has not been adequately reviewed. METHODS A systematic search of the main databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating antibiotics and antiseptics was conducted to evaluate the predetermined endpoints of infection. RESULTS There were five (5) RCTs identified that examined the effects of antibiotic and antiseptic prophylaxis on infections after revision total hip arthroplasty [THA] (total of 304 participants) and total knee arthroplasty [TKA] (total of 206 participants). For TKA, preoperative systemic intravenous (IV) antibiotic prophylaxis plus antibiotic cement may be effective in reducing the incidence of infection in revision TKA at 8+ years. These results however should be interpreted with caution due to the significant biases. For revision THA, there is no RCT evidence that antibiotics/antiseptics have any effect on the infection rate. CONCLUSIONS There is a lack of high quality data demonstrating an effect of antibiotics or antiseptics on infection rates in revision THA/TKA. Considering the rate of infections in revisions is 2-3X that of primary procedures and; there is a consensus recommendation to use similar antibiotic and antiseptic regimens in both primary and revision procedures, there is a need for high quality studies in revision THA/TKA.

Abstract
Infection rates in primary (first-time) major joint arthroplasty continue to be a significant issue. The effect of antibiotic and antiseptic prophylaxis on outcomes for this type of surgery has not been adequately reviewed. A systematic search of the main databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating antibiotics and antiseptics was conducted to evaluate the predetermined endpoints of infection, adverse events, costs, quality of life, and concentration levels of antibiotics. A meta-analysis using pooled effect estimates and fixed-effect and random-effect models of risk ratios (RR), calculated with 95% confidence intervals (CI), was utilized. Thirty (30) RCTs examined the effects of antibiotic and antiseptic prophylaxis on infections after primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) (total of 11,597 participants) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) (total of 6,141 participants). For THA, preoperative systemic intravenous (i.v.) antibiotic prophylaxis may be effective in reducing the incidence of infection after THA from 6 months to ≥5 years. For TKA, there is no RCT evidence that antibiotics and/or antiseptics have any effect on infection rate. Preoperative systemic antibiotic prophylaxis in primary THA may be effective at reducing infection rate. There is no evidence that timing, route of administration, or concentration levels have an effect on reducing infections, adverse events, or costs in THA or TKA. Many of the trials included in this study were published in the 1980s and 1990s. Thus, it would be important to replicate a number of them based on current patient demographics and incidence of bacterial resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgical site infection and other hospital-acquired infections cause significant morbidity after internal fixation of fractures. The administration of antibiotics may reduce the frequency of infections. OBJECTIVES To determine whether the prophylactic administration of antibiotics in people undergoing surgical management of hip or other closed long bone fractures reduces the incidence of surgical site and other hospital-acquired infections. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group Specialised Register (December 2009), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library 2009, Issue 4), MEDLINE (1950 to November 2009), EMBASE (1988 to December 2009), other electronic databases including the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (December 2009), conferences proceedings and reference lists of articles. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised or quasi-randomised controlled trials comparing any regimen of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis administered at the time of surgery, compared with no prophylaxis, placebo, or a regimen of different duration, in people with a hip fracture undergoing surgery for internal fixation or prosthetic replacement, or with any closed long bone fracture undergoing internal fixation. All trials needed to report surgical site infection. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two authors independently screened papers for inclusion, assessed risk of bias and extracted data. Pooled data are presented graphically. MAIN RESULTS Data from 8447 participants in 23 studies were included in the analyses. In people undergoing surgery for closed fracture fixation, single dose antibiotic prophylaxis significantly reduced deep surgical site infection (risk ratio 0.40, 95% CI 0.24 to 0.67), superficial surgical site infections, urinary infections, and respiratory tract infections. Multiple dose prophylaxis had an effect of similar size on deep surgical site infection (risk ratio 0.35, 95% CI 0.19 to 0.62), but significant effects on urinary and respiratory infections were not confirmed. Although the risk of bias in many studies as reported was unclear, sensitivity analysis showed that removal from the meta-analyses of studies at high risk of bias did not alter the conclusions. Economic modelling using data from one large trial indicated that single dose prophylaxis with ceftriaxone is a cost-effective intervention. Data for the incidence of adverse effects were very limited, but as expected they appeared to be more common in those receiving antibiotics, compared with placebo or no prophylaxis. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Antibiotic prophylaxis should be offered to those undergoing surgery for closed fracture fixation.

Abstract
We reviewed systematically the published evidence on the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis for the reduction of wound infection in patients undergoing total hip and total knee replacement. Publications were identified using the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL databases. We also contacted authors to identify unpublished trials. We included randomised controlled trials which compared any prophylaxis with none, the administration of systemic antibiotics with that of those in cement, cephalosporins with glycopeptides, cephalosporins with penicillin-derivatives, and second-generation with first-generation cephalosporins. A total of 26 studies (11 343 participants) met the inclusion criteria. Methodological quality was variable. In a meta-analysis of seven studies (3065 participants) antibiotic prophylaxis reduced the absolute risk of wound infection by 8% and the relative risk by 81% compared with no prophylaxis (p < 0.00001). No other comparison showed a significant difference in clinical effect. Antibiotic prophylaxis should be routine in joint replacement but the choice of agent should be made on the basis of cost and local availability.

Abstract
From January 1991 to June 1997, patients undergoing primary elective monolateral or bilateral total knee replacement (TKR) were consecutively enrolled in a prospective, open clinical study on the efficacy and safety of regional prophylaxis with teicoplanin (TEC). Those scheduled for monolateral TKR (115 patients) received 400 mg of TEC in 100 ml of saline as a 5-min infusion into a foot vein of the leg to be operated on immediately after the tourniquet was inflated to 400 mm Hg (ca. 50 kPa). For patients undergoing bilateral surgery (45 patients), regional administration of TEC was also repeated for the second knee operation. Follow-up ranged from a minimum of 2 years to 8 years. None of the patients experienced local or systemic adverse effects following regional administration of TEC. In the immediate postoperative and 2-year follow-up periods, only one superficial infection of the primary site attributable to intraoperative contamination (prophylaxis failure) out of the 205 prostheses implanted was observed. Deep infections involving the prosthesis did not occur. Infectious complications at distant sites were observed in nine cases (urinary tract infection due to Escherichia coli in eight cases, and Salmonella enteritidis gastroenteritis in one case) in the immediate postoperative period; they all were rapidly cured after antibiotic treatment. A delayed prosthetic infection, related to hematogenous spread of the etiological agent and therefore not considered a prophylactic failure, was observed in a patient who had undergone TKR 5 years before. Regional administration of TEC in monolateral and bilateral TKR appears to be a safe and valuable prophylactic technique.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antibiotic prophylaxis has been established policy for major surgical operations for many years. In fracture fixation, the effectiveness, and the duration of administration, have been a matter of debate. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of the prophylactic administration of antibiotics in patients undergoing surgical management of hip or other long bone fractures. SEARCH STRATEGY We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, Current Contents, Dissertation Abstracts, and Index to UK Theses, and bibliographies of identified articles. Trials were also obtained from the Cochrane Musculoskeletal Injuries Group trials register. Date of the most recent search: end of 1997. PARTICIPANTS Any patients with a hip or other closed long bone fracture undergoing surgery for internal fixation or replacement arthroplasty. INTERVENTIONS Any regimen of systemic antibiotic prophylaxis administered at the time of surgery. OUTCOME MEASURES Wound infection (deep and superficial), urinary tract infection, respiratory tract infection, adverse effects of prophylaxis, economic evaluations. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Both reviewers independently selected trials for inclusion, and assessed methodological quality and extracted data. Where possible, data were pooled and Peto odds ratios and absolute risk reductions, each with 95% confidence intervals, calculated. MAIN RESULTS Twenty one randomised trials of only poor or moderate quality were included. The comparisons tested fell within six comparison groups, principally multiple dose or a single dose of antibiotic versus a placebo or no treatment. Antibiotic prophylaxis reduces wound, urinary and respiratory tract infections in patients undergoing surgery for closed fracture fixation. Economic modelling has indicated that this is a cost-effective intervention. There are limited data for the incidence of adverse effects, but as expected they appear to be more common in those receiving antibiotics. REVIEWER'S CONCLUSIONS Antibiotic prophylaxis should be offered to those undergoing surgery for closed fracture fixation. On ethical grounds, further placebo controlled randomised trials of the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis in closed fracture surgery are unlikely to be justified. Trials addressing the cost-effectiveness of different effective antibiotic regimens would need to be very large and may not be feasible.

Abstract
An intravenous antibiotic, administered just before skin incision, effectively reduces the prevalence of deep wound infection. The optimal antimicrobial agent has not been determined definitively; however, a short duration of prophylaxis is recommended. Institutional compliance strategies are cost-effective and improve the timing of antibiotic administration. Also, published antimicrobial restriction recommendations are warranted because of the concern of emerging antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Specifically, restriction of vancomycin in orthopaedic surgery should be targeted critically. Supplemental antibiotic administration includes additional intra-operative antibiotic dosing, use of antibiotic-irrigant solutions, and admixture of antibiotics into acrylic bone cement or bone graft. There are no established standards or clinical guidelines for these supplemental antibiotic applications. Post-operatively, antimicrobial agents frequently are overused for various clinical scenarios and this pattern of antibiotic usage is potentially detrimental. A prophylaxis strategy for prevention of early and late hematogenous infection requires consideration of host risk factors, wound environment variables, and sources of potential bacteremia. This strategy should include deliberation of the cost-effectiveness, efficacy, and complications associated with routine use of antibiotics. Advisory statements for elective procedures, which potentially may cause bacteremia, are being developed and additional research is required for this area of antimicrobial agent prophylaxis.

Abstract
Infection prophylaxis in hip replacement with one perioperative dose of cefuroxime was evaluated in a randomized controlled multicenter study using a three-dose regimen as a control. All the operations were performed in conventionally ventilated operating theaters. Of the 2,796 hip replacements entered in the study, 145 replacements were excluded because of protocol violations. The remaining 2,651 hip replacements were analyzed: 1,327 and 1,324 in the one- and the three-dose group, respectively. There were no differences between the one-dose and the three-dose groups as regards the incidence of postoperative wound-healing problems, and urinary tract or other distant infections. The use of additional antibiotics after the perioperative prophylaxis did not differ between the treatment groups. After a mean follow-up period of 13 months, joint sepsis was diagnosed in 11 of the patients in the one-dose group (0.83 percent) and in 6 of the patients in the control group (0.45 percent). This difference was not significant. Because the estimated difference between the one-dose and the three-dose group was 0.38 percent, we could not confirm that the efficacy of one dose was equal to three doses. An extended follow-up study, with more cases of joint sepsis, may provide more conclusive data. Until then, a three-dose regimen is recommended.

Abstract
Intraoperative cefazolin concentrations were measured in serum, joint capsule, cancellous bone of the acetabulum, and proximal cancellous bone of the femur in 15 dogs undergoing total hip replacement. Cefazolin (22 mg/kg intravenously [IV]) was administered every hour for three doses. The mean peak serum concentrations (+/- SEM) were 387.79 +/- 27.56 micrograms/mL, 521.71 +/- 28.00 micrograms/mL, and 542.20 +/- 30.91 micrograms/mL, respectively. Mean serum concentrations just before administration of doses 2 and 3 were 51.77 +/- 2.39 micrograms/mL, and 64.84 +/- 3.46 micrograms/mL, respectively. The mean cefazolin concentrations in the joint capsule, cancellous bone of the acetabulum, and cancellous bone of the femur were 34.71 +/- 2.50 micrograms/g, 28.70 +/- 7.40 micrograms/g, and 36.20 +/- 3.80 micrograms/g, respectively. The minimum inhibitory concentration of cefazolin for 90% of the common contaminants (MIC90) in this clinic is less than or equal to 2 micrograms/mL or per gram of tissue. Serum concentrations never fell below 15 times the MIC90 (lowest trough, 35.93 micrograms/mL), and the lowest tissue concentration (6.57 micrograms/mL in cancellous bone from the acetabulum) was still more than 3 times the MIC90. The mean tissue concentration was 15 times the MIC90.
