Abstract
Background Artificial intelligence has demonstrated utility in orthopedic research. Algorithmic models derived from machine learning have demonstrated adaptive learning with predictive application towards outcomes, leading to increased traction in the literature. This study aims to identify machine learning arthroplasty research trends and anticipate emerging key terms. Methods Published literature focused on machine learning in arthroplasty from 1992 to 2023 was selected through the Web of Science Core Collection of Clarivate Analytics. Following that, bibliometric indicators were attained and brought in to perform an additional examination using Bibliometrix and VOSviewer to identify historical and present patterns within the literature. Results A total of 235 documents were obtained through bibliometric sourcing based on machine learning applications within the arthroplasty literature. Thirty-four countries published articles on the topic, and the United States was demonstrated to be the largest global contributor. Four hundred-five institutions internationally contributed articles, with Harvard Medical School and the University of California system as the most relevant institutes, with 75 and 44 articles produced, respectively. Kwon YM was the most productive author, while Haeberle HS and Ramkumar PN were the most impactful based on h-index. The Thematic map and Co-occurrence visualization helped identify both major and niche themes present in the scientific databases. Conclusions Machine learning in arthroplasty research continues to gain traction with a growing annual production rate and contributions from international authors and institutions. Institutions and authors based in the United States are the leading contributors to machine learning applications within arthroplasty research. This research discerns trends that have occurred, are presently ongoing, and are emerging within this field, aiming to inform future hotspot development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prophylactic antibiotics have significantly led to a reduction in the risk of post-operative surgical site infections (SSI) in orthopaedic surgery. The aim of using antibiotics for this purpose is to achieve serum and tissue drug levels that exceed, for the duration of the operation, the minimum inhibitory concentration of the likely organisms that are encountered. Prophylactic antibiotics reduce the rate of SSIs in lower limb arthroplasty from between 4% and 8% to between 1% and 3%. Controversy, however, still surrounds the optimal frequency and dosing of antibiotic administration. AIM To evaluate the impact of introduction of a weight-adjusted antibiotic prophylaxis regime, combined with a reduction in the duration of administration of post-operative antibiotics on SSI incidence during the 2 years following primary elective total hip and knee arthroplasty. METHODS Following ethical approval, patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA)/total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with the old regime (OR) of a preoperative dose [cefazolin 2 g intravenously (IV)], and two subsequent doses (2 h and 8 h), were compared to those after a change to a new regime (NR) of a weight-adjusted preoperative dose (cefazolin 2 g IV for patients < 120 kg; cefazolin 3g IV for patients > 120 kg) and a post-operative dose at 2 h. The primary outcome in both groups was SSI rates during the 2 years post-operatively. RESULTS A total of n = 1273 operations (THA n = 534, TKA n = 739) were performed in n = 1264 patients. There was no statistically significant difference in the rate of deep (OR 0.74% (5/675) vs NR 0.50% (3/598); fishers exact test P = 0.72), nor superficial SSIs (OR 2.07% (14/675) vs NR 1.50% (9/598); chi-squared test P = 0.44) at 2 years post-operatively. With propensity score weighting and an interrupted time series analysis, there was also no difference in SSI rates between both groups [RR 0.88 (95%CI 0.61 to 1.30) P = 0.46]. CONCLUSION A weight-adjusted regime, with a reduction in number of post-operative doses had no adverse impact on SSI incidence in this population.

Abstract
Background During the initial coronavirus pandemic lockdown period, remote hip and knee arthroplasty care was heavily employed out of necessity. However, data on patient satisfaction with telemedicine specific to hip and knee arthroplasty patients remains unknown. Methods All patients who had a telemedicine visit in the hip and knee arthroplasty department and completed a telemedicine satisfaction survey at a specialty hospital from April 1, 2020, to December 31, 2020, were identified. Patient satisfaction with telemedicine, gauged through a series of questions, were analyzed and evaluated over time. Independent factors associated with high satisfaction, defined as the "Top Box" response to the survey question "Likelihood of your recommending our video visit service to others," were identified. Results Overall, 29,003 patients who had an in-person or telemedicine visit in the hip and knee arthroplasty department during the study period were identified. During the initial coronavirus pandemic lockdown period, defined as April 1, 2020-May 31, 2020, rate of overall telemedicine utilization was approximately 84%. After the initial lockdown period, the rate of overall telemedicine utilization was approximately 8% of all visits per month. Average satisfaction scores for a series of 14 questions were consistently above 4.5 out of 5. Multivariable regression revealed younger age, particularly 18-64 years old, to be the only independent factor associated with high satisfaction with telemedicine. The rate of high satisfaction remained statistically similar throughout the study period (P > .05). Conclusions Patient satisfaction with telemedicine was consistently high in various domains and remained high throughout the study period, regardless of loosened pandemic restrictions. This technology will most likely continue to be utilized, but perhaps it should be targeted at patients younger than 65 years of age.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although isolated calf muscular vein thrombosis (ICMVT) is commonly seen after hip and knee arthroplasty, no treatment guidelines for ICMVT after joint replacement are available. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of patients with ICMVT for anticoagulant therapy at different time points after primary hip and knee arthroplasty. METHODS Patients with ICMVT after primary hip and knee arthroplasty were included in the study. Diagnosis was established with Doppler ultrasound. Patients were followed up clinically and with Doppler ultrasound at 1, 2, and 3 months. The outcomes were efficacy (complete resolution) and acceptability (hemorrhagic events). Anticoagulant therapy at curative dosage was prescribed for 1 month and was extended for 2 additional months in case of incomplete resolution at 1 month or if propagation was present. The chi-square test was used to compare the outcomes at different time points. RESULTS 302 patients were taken hip and knee arthroplasty from January 2021 to May 2022, in which 51 patients presented with 51 ICMVTs postoperatively. The incidence of ICMVT was about 16.89%. Resolution of ICMVT was considered complete at 1, 2, and 3 months at 36.73%, 61.22%, and 91.84%, respectively, with significant differences among the time points (P < 0.05). All patients with ICMVT receiving anticoagulant therapy remained free of propagations and hemorrhagic events within 3 months. CONCLUSION Our findings provide new insights into the anticoagulant therapy for ICMVT after primary hip and knee arthroplasty, taking oral Rivaroxaban for 3 months is effective and safe, which contributes to provide the reference for clinical practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE Patients undergoing total hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasty are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). As the number performed annually increases, the population at risk of fatal pulmonary embolism (PE) also grows. Ultra-high-risk arthroplasty patients (UHRAPs) include those with additional comorbidities, or a history of VTE, for many of whom routine prophylaxis will previously have failed. Pre-operative insertion of Inferior Vena Cava filters (IVCFs) has been recommended for thromboprophylaxis in UHRAPs, and this review was performed to establish their results. METHODS A systematic search of MEDLINE and Embase databases was performed for studies reporting the use of Inferior Vena Cava filters in hip and knee arthroplasty patients. RESULTS Ten studies met the inclusion criteria, containing 718 IVCFs in Orthopaedic patients, 343 of which were permanent (47.8%), 369 potentially retrievable (51.4%), 5 absorbable (0.6%) and one of unknown design (0.1%). Patient age averaged 64.7yrs (17-95) and 56% were female. Pre-operatively, 415 prophylactic IVCFs were inserted in 409 UHRAPs, undergoing a total of 438 total joint arthroplasties (TJA). There were 11 cases of PE in the entire series (1.5%) only one of which was fatal (0.01%), with four non-fatal PE in the UHRAP group (0.96%). Removal was attempted for 283 of the retrievable filters (76.7%) and was successful in 280 (98.9%). CONCLUSION The use of IVCFs eliminated fatal PE in UHRAPs, but larger, high-quality studies, with standardised reporting, are still required to determine their absolute indications for use, complication profile, efficacy and optimum design.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Internationally, patient-reported outcome measures are increasingly applied in clinical settings to patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). Current literature does not provide an understanding of the patient experience with these tools, as remarkably few studies are published investigating patient perspectives on completing PROMs. Thus, the aim of this study was to investigate patient experiences, perspectives, and understanding with usage of PROMs for total hip and total knee arthroplasty in a Danish orthopedic clinic. METHODS Patients who were scheduled for, or recently had, a THA or TKA for primary osteoarthritis were recruited to participate in individual interviews, which were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The analysis was based on qualitative content analysis. RESULTS In total, 33 adult patients (18 female) were interviewed. Average age was 70.15 (range 52-86). The following themes were derived from the analysis: a) motivation and demotivation for completion, b) to complete a PROM questionnaire, c) environment for completion, and d) suggestions for use of PROMs. CONCLUSION The majority of participants scheduled for TKA/THA were not fully aware of the purpose of completing PROMs. Motivation to do so arose from a desire to help others. Demotivation was affected by inabilities to use electronic technology. In terms of completing PROMs, participants expressed varied ease of use, and some perceived technical challenges. The participants expressed satisfaction with the flexibility of completing PROMs in outpatient clinics or at home; nevertheless, some did not manage completion on their own. Help was of great importance for completion, especially for participants with limited electronic capabilities.

Abstract
PURPOSE To define patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) cut-off values for the EQ-5D-5L and Oxford hip (OHS) and knee (OKS) scores 6 and 12 months after total hip (THR) or knee (TKR) replacement. To compare PASS cut-off values for the EQ-5D-5L scored using: (1) the Canadian value set, (2) the crosswalk value set, and (3) the equal weighted Level Sum Score (LSS). METHODS We mailed questionnaires to consecutive patients following surgeon referral for primary THR or TKR and at 6 and 12 months post-surgery. Patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) were the EQ-5D-5L, the OHS, and OKS. We assessed PASS cut-off values for PROMs using percentile and ROC methods, with the Youden Index. RESULTS Five hundred forty-two surgical patients (mean age, 64 years, 57% female, 49% THR) completed baseline and 12-month questionnaires. 89% of THR and 81% of TKR patients rated PASS as acceptable at 12 months. PASS cut-off values for THR for the EQ-5D-5L (Canadian) were 0.85 (percentile) and 0.84 (Youden) at 12 months. Cut-off values were similar for the LSS (0.85 and 0.85) and lower for the crosswalk value set (0.74 and 0.73), respectively. EQ-5D-5L cut-off values for TKR were Canadian, 0.77 (Percentile) and 0.78 (Youden), LSS, 0.75 and 0.80, and crosswalk, 0.67 and 0.74, respectively. Cut-off values 6 and 12 months post-surgery ranged from 38 to 39 for the OHS, and 28 to 36 for the OKS (range 0 worst to 48 best). CONCLUSION PASS cut-off values for the EQ-5D-5L and Oxford scores varied, not only between methods and timing of assessment, but also by different EQ-5D-5L value sets, which vary between countries. Because of this variation, PASS cut-off values are not necessarily generalizable to other populations of TJR patients. We advise caution in interpreting PROMs when using EQ-5D-5L PASS cut-off values developed in different countries. A standardization of methods is needed before published cut-off values can be used with confidence in other populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide an evidence-based overview of the different surgical procedures in osteoarthritis (OA). DESIGN This narrative review reports on surgical therapies (1) for severe, end stage OA and (2) of surgical options aiming to possibly reduce OA development earlier in the course of the disease. RESULTS Surgical practice guidelines provide evidence-based recommendations to assist in the clinical decision-making. Total joint arthroplasty represents the only valuable, established surgical option for severe, end stage OA. For hip and knee OA, it is by far the most common surgical procedure and provides considerable pain relief, functional restoration, and improved quality of life. Surgical therapy aiming to postpone OA essentially addresses extra- or intraarticular pre-osteoarthritic deformities, defined as congenital or acquired disturbances of the joint structure that adversely affect its function. Approaches in this category include osteotomies and different cartilage repair procedures such as osteochondral autograft and allograft transfer, marrow stimulation techniques, and autologous chondrocyte implantation. However, they are not only less commonly performed than arthroplasty, but the scientific clinical evidence in favour of this type of surgery to reduce the long-term risk of developing OA is considerably reduced. CONCLUSION Total knee and hip arthroplasty are two of the most successful procedures in all of medicine. As the progression of this insidious disease is often asymptomatic and slow, it is imperative to judge reparative procedures at their potential to reduce OA development at long-term, besides their primary clinical outcomes. Evidence-based guidelines provide a valuable tool for high-quality surgical decision making in OA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES/AIMS Obesity and its increasing prevalence are global public health concerns. Following joint replacement, there is evidence to support that obese patients are more likely to suffer complications. We examined 10-year trends in BMI of the primary total hip and total knee replacement cohorts in our institution to discern whether the BMI of these patients has changed over time. METHODS We examined BMI data of patients who underwent primary hip and knee arthroplasty from our institutional database from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2019 (n = 12,169). We analysed trends in BMI over this period with respect to (i) surgical procedure, (ii) gender, and (iii) age categories. RESULTS The overall number of surgical procedures increased over the study period which meant more obese patients underwent surgery over time. Average BMI did not change significantly over time; however, there was a statistically significant increase in BMI in females aged < 45 in both arthroplasty groups. CONCLUSION The average BMI of patients undergoing primary hip and knee arthroplasty in our high-volume tertiary orthopaedic centre has remained relatively unchanged over the past 10 years; however, our local service is caring for a greater number of overweight/obese patients due to the increase in overall volume. This will have significant implications on health care expenditure and infrastructure going forward which further emphasises the importance of ongoing national obesity prevention strategies. The increase in BMI seen in females aged < 45 may mark an impending era of obese younger patients with end-stage osteoarthritis.

Abstract
PROMs are part of routine measurement for hip and knee replacement in Alberta, Canada. We provide an overview of how PROMs are implemented in routine care, and how we use PROMs data for decision-making at different levels within the health system. The Alberta Bone and Joint Health Institute (ABJHI) ran a randomized controlled trial to determine the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of an evidence-based care pathway for hip and knee arthroplasty in 2004. The study included several PROMs questionnaires: Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index, Health Utility Index, Short Form 36 and the EQ-5D-3L. Subsequently, the focus shifted to spread and scale of the care pathway provincially. WOMAC and EQ-5D-3L and a patient experience survey were selected for provincial adoption – captured before surgery, three-months post-surgery, and 12-months post-surgery. These PROMs data were integrated into research and routine clinical practice at the micro, meso and macro levels. At the micro level, PROMs data are used at the individual patient and provider level for patients to provide input on their care and as a tool to communicate with their healthcare providers. We examined the relationship of appropriateness and patient reported outcomes in a prospective cohort study. We evaluated whether routinely collected PROMs could be integrated into a patient decision aid to better inform shared decision making. At the meso level, continuous quality improvement reports are provided routinely to individual health care providers, hospitals and clinics on their performance against the measurement framework and standard key performance indicators. At the macro level, PROMs data are used to evaluate system performance by comparing outcomes across different jurisdictions or over time and support health policy decision making. Combined with administrative databases, we have used simulation models to reflect transition through the continuum of care from disease onset through end-stage care regarding the burden of disease, healthcare resource requirements and associated healthcare costs. The addition of PROMs data in clinical repositories and analyses enables the system to identify and address issues of continuous quality improvement against a measurement framework of performance indicators and to explicitly recognize the trade-offs that are inherent in any resource-constrained system.

Abstract
PROMs are essential to delivering patient-centred health care, and when applied routinely they can enhance communication between patients and providers, inform decisions for value-based health system improvements and improve overall patient care experiences and outcomes. The use of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) across Canada varies across provinces and territories, partly because of differences in health care delivery models across these jurisdictions. A national program that coordinates uses of PROMs is needed to ensure that this information is comparable across jurisdictions. This commentary provides a summary look at the development of national PROMs data standards and reporting for hip and knee replacement surgery, including the selection of survey tools, building consensus, developing and promoting standards, and reporting on the results nationally and internationally as well as outlining recent learnings from regional implementation of data standards. In 2017, the Canadian Institute for Health Information published national PROMs data collection standards for hip and knee arthroplasty that included guidelines for survey time points, the minimum data set and PROMs instruments. This broad-scale PROMs collection initiative had stakeholder engagement and support from multiple levels within the health system, including administrators, clinic managers, patients, and health system decision-makers. Learnings from regional implementation of the standards demonstrated the importance of assessing existing infrastructure and information technology requirements, mapping clinical workflows, planning for human and information technology resources, navigating local legislation and hospital policies and ensuring data linkage capabilities. This initiative showed the need for a common regional approach for PROMs collection to be efficient and effective. The learnings from implementation of the national Canadian PROMs program for hip and knee arthroplasty can be used as an example for other jurisdictions and clinical areas such as renal care and mental health. Common data standards allow for secondary use of this data that is valuable for reporting and informing policy and guidelines as well as meeting care delivery goals to further the shift in health care systems becoming more patient-centred to improve the quality-of-life of patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE We investigated the safety of primary hip and knee replacements with same day discharge (SDD) and their effect on length of stay (LOS) of traditional inpatient arthroplasties at our elective orthopaedic ward. METHODS 200 patients underwent elective, unilateral primary day case total hip (THA, n = 94), total knee (TKA, n = 60) and unicondylar knee replacements (UKA, n = 46). SDD rates, reasons for failure to discharge, readmission, complication and satisfaction rates were recorded at 6-week follow up. Changes in LOS of inpatient arthroplasties (n = 6518) and rate of patients discharged with only one night stay treated at the same ward were tracked from 1 year prior to introduction of day case arthroplasty (DCA) program to the end of observation period. RESULTS 166 patients (83%) had SDD while 34 (17%) needed overnight stay. Main reasons for failure to discharge were lack of confidence (4%) fainting due to single vasovagal episode (3.5%), urine retention (3%) and late resolution of spinal anaesthesia (3%). 5 patients (3%) had readmission within 6 weeks, including 1 (0.6%) with a partial and treated pulmonary embolism. 163 patients were satisfied with SDD (98%). After launching the DCA program, average LOS of inpatients was reduced from 2.3 days to 1.8 days and rate of discharge with only 1-night stay increased from 12% to around 60%. CONCLUSION Introduction of routine SDD hip and knee arthroplasty programme at an elective orthopaedic centre is safe and also may confer wider benefits leading to shorter inpatient hospital stays.

Abstract
Introduction The diagnosis and management of periprosthetic knee and hip infections as well as the identification and management of possible additional infectious foci is of great importance for successful therapy. This study analyses the importance of 18F deoxyglucose PET-CT (PET-CT) in the identification of additional infectious focus and subsequent impact on management of periprosthetic infection (PPI). Material and methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data and findings in the period from January 2008 to December 2018 was carried out. One hundred and four patients with in-hospital treatment due to PPI of a hip or knee joint were identified and included in this study. All patients underwent a standardized clinical examination and further surgical and antibiotic therapy. The reevaluation of performed PET-CTs was specifically carried out with regard to the local PPI or detection of secondary foci. Results PET-CT successfully verified the PPI in 84.2% of the patients. A total of 78 possible additional foci were detected in PET-CT in 56 (53.8%) of the examined patients. Predilection sites for possible secondary foci were joints (42.3%), pulmonary (15.4%), ear-nose-throat (15.4%), spine (11.5%), and the musculocutaneous tissues (11.5%). Fifty-four positive PET-CT findings were confirmed clinically with need of additional adequate treatment. Conclusion PET-CT is a valuable diagnostic tool to confirm periprosthetic joint infection. At the same time, the whole-body PET/CT may detect additional foci of infection with impact on subsequent treatment strategy. PET was of special value in detecting infections at distant locations far from the primary infected joint in significant number. These distant infection locations can be potential cause of a re-infection. This clearly reflects the need of their diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) modeling in hip and knee arthroplasty (total joint arthroplasty [TJA]) is becoming more commonplace. This systematic review aims to quantify the accuracy of current AI- and ML-based application for cognitive support and decision-making in TJA. Methods A comprehensive search of publications was conducted through the EMBASE, Medline, and PubMed databases using relevant keywords to maximize the sensitivity of the search. No limits were placed on level of evidence or timing of the study. Findings were reported according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Analysis of variance testing with post-hoc Tukey test was applied to compare the area under the curve (AUC) of the models. Results After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 49 studies were included in this review. The application of AI/ML-based models and average AUC is as follows: cost prediction-0.77, LOS and discharges-0.78, readmissions and reoperations-0.66, preoperative patient selection/planning-0.79, adverse events and other postoperative complications-0.84, postoperative pain-0.83, postoperative patient-reported outcomes measures and functional outcome-0.81. Significant variability in model AUC across the different decision support applications was found (P < .001) with the AUC for readmission and reoperation models being significantly lower than that of the other decision support categories. Conclusions AI/ML-based applications in TJA continue to expand and have the potential to optimize patient selection and accurately predict postoperative outcomes, complications, and associated costs. On average, the AI/ML models performed best in predicting postoperative complications, pain, and patient-reported outcomes and were less accurate in predicting hospital readmissions and reoperations.

Abstract
The successful treatment of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is difficult, requiring coordination across multiple specialties. In 2017, we formed a collaboration between our infectious disease clinicians and our orthopaedic arthroplasty surgeons in an effort to optimize care, accommodate patients, and expedite clinical decision-making in the treatment of PJI. The model consisted of combined infectious disease and arthroplasty clinics, standardized lab results, and planned staged revision procedures. We named this the arthroplasty infection service. Our early experience with a defined multidisciplinary approach to PJI was positive. Although the impact of the arthroplasty infection service on PJI outcomes is yet to be determined, we believe this is a step forward in the management of this complex patient population. With an increasing burden of PJI in the United States, this model could be emulated at many institutions that regularly treat these challenging cases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To analyze the incidence of early acute kidney injury (AKI) and perioperative factors following hip and knee joint replacement. METHODS A total of 6281 patients from the department of orthopedics from January 2016 to July 2018 were enrolled, and 1490 patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty met the inclusion criteria. The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative parameters were recorded. The retrospective cohort study was carried out to analyze predictors for AKI and postoperative creatinine elevation following hip and knee joint replacement. RESULTS Eighty patients (5.4%) met AKI criteria. Age, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status and preoperative diabetes were identified as independent predictors for postoperative AKI in patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty (p < 0.05). Age, male, preoperative diabetes, hypertension, and preoperative creatinine were identified as independent predictors for postoperative creatinine elevation (p < 0.05). Patients with AKI were more likely to enter the ICU than non-AKI patients (25% vs 5.6%, p < 0.05). Compared with non-AKI patients, the total hospital stay (16 [11-22] vs 13 [10-16] days) and postoperative hospital stay (11 [8-14] vs 8 [7-11] days) for AKI patients were significantly prolonged (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION The study shows age, male, preoperative diabetes, hypertension, and preoperative creatinine were independent predictors for postoperative creatinine elevation. In addition, age, ASA physical status and preoperative diabetes are independent predictors for postoperative AKI in patients undergoing hip and knee joint replacement. Postoperative AKI seems to increase ICU admission and significantly prolonged hospital stay.

Abstract
Background The Hospital for Special Surgery Hip Replacement Expectations Survey (HSS-THRES) and Knee Replacement Expectations Survey (HSS-TKRES) are widely used tools developed to assess patients’ preoperative expectations for total hip and knee arthroplasty. This study aimed to translate and adapt the HSS-THRES and HSS-TKRES into Chinese versions (SC-THRES/TKRES) and evaluate their psychometric properties in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Methods Patients scheduled for total hip (104 hip OA and 51 AS) or knee replacements (101 knee OA) were recruited in this study. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to evaluate structural validity. The internal consistency was assessed by the Cronbach’s α coefficient. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to assess test-retest reliability. The construct validity was analyzed by evaluating the correlations between SC-THRES/TKRES and the Expectation WOMAC. The correlations with the Expectation WOMAC were tested against our hypotheses. We additionally compared preoperative expectations of AS patients to those of hip OA patients. Results The results of CFA for the SC-THRES and SC-TKRES demonstrated good fit. The results for the SC-THRES/TKRES revealed good test-retest reliability and good internal consistency (AS: ICC = 0.893, Cronbach’s α = 0.815; hip OA: ICC = 0.878, Cronbach’s α = 0.814; knee OA: ICC = 0.806, Cronbach’s α = 0.808). The correlations between the SC-THRES/TKRES and the Expectation WOMAC were moderate (0.541 for AS, 0.490 for hip OA and 0.465 for knee OA), which were consistent with the hypotheses. Conclusion The SC-THRES/TKRES are reliable, valid for the evaluation of Chinese patients with OA and AS undergoing total hip and knee arthroplasty. The surveys can be used as part of preoperative assessments. Meanwhile, additional research is needed to replicate these findings and to assess the content validity in a larger sample.

Abstract
Background Perioperative autologous blood salvage and preoperative erythropoietin are not (cost) effective to reduce allogeneic transfusion in primary hip and knee arthroplasty, but are still used. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a theoretically informed multifaceted strategy to de-implement these low-value blood management techniques. Methods Twenty-one Dutch hospitals participated in this pragmatic cluster-randomized trial. At baseline, data were gathered for 924 patients from 10 intervention and 1040 patients from 11 control hospitals undergoing hip or knee arthroplasty. The intervention included a multifaceted de-implementation strategy which consisted of interactive education, feedback on blood management performance, and a comparison with benchmark hospitals, aimed at orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists. After the intervention, data were gathered for 997 patients from the intervention and 1096 patients from the control hospitals. The randomization outcome was revealed after the baseline measurement. Primary outcomes were use of blood salvage and erythropoietin. Secondary outcomes included postoperative hemoglobin, length of stay, allogeneic transfusions, and use of local infiltration analgesia (LIA) and tranexamic acid (TXA). Results The use of blood salvage (OR 0.08, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.30) and erythropoietin (OR 0.30, 95% CI 0.09 to 0.97) reduced significantly over time, but did not differ between intervention and control hospitals (blood salvage OR 1.74 95% CI 0.27 to 11.39, erythropoietin OR 1.33, 95% CI 0.26 to 6.84). Postoperative hemoglobin levels were significantly higher (β 0.21, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.34) and length of stay shorter (β −0.36, 95% CI −0.64 to −0.09) in hospitals receiving the multifaceted strategy, compared with control hospitals and after adjustment for baseline. Transfusions did not differ between the intervention and control hospitals (OR 1.06, 95% CI 0.63 to 1.78). Both LIA (OR 0.0, 95% CI 0.0 to 0.0) and TXA (OR 0.3, 95% CI 0.2 to 0.5) were significantly associated with the reduction in blood salvage over time. Conclusions Blood salvage and erythropoietin use reduced over time, but not differently between intervention and control hospitals. The reduction in blood salvage was associated with increased use of local infiltration analgesia and tranexamic acid, suggesting that de-implementation is assisted by the substitution of techniques. The reduction in blood salvage and erythropoietin did not lead to a deterioration in patient-related secondary outcomes.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of debridement, antibiotics, irrigation and retention (DAIR) in patients who developed a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary hip or knee arthroplasty in two community hospitals in the Netherlands. We retrospectively collected data in two hospitals in the Netherlands on all episodes of PJI after primary hip (THA) and knee arthroplasty (TKA) from 1998-2012. In 109 of 8234 THA (1.32%) and 65 of 5752 TKA (1.13%) a PJI developed. DAIR was used as treatment in 84 patients after THA (77.1%) and 56 patients after TKA (86.2%). 34 Patients only received antibiotics or were immediately revised. After 1 year follow-up, prosthesis retention was achieved in 81 THA patients (74.3%) and 48 TKA patients (73.8%). Acute infections showed a better survival compared to late infections (84.0% vs 46.6% respectively; p<0.01). Furthermore, a young age was associated with an increased revision risk (p<0.01). In conclusion, debridement, antibiotics and irrigation in acute PJI may lead to retention of the prosthesis in a majority of cases. Large patient cohort studies can provide data on PJI outcome, complementing National Registries which have limited detail.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine short-term improvements, satisfaction rates and the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) after total joint replacement (TJR) for different patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). METHODS This prospective cohort study included 426 consecutive patients undergoing total hip (n = 193) or knee arthroplasty (n = 233). The following PROMs were completed before TJR, and at 3, 6 and 12 months after surgery, respectively: WOMAC, Oxford Hip or Knee Score, Lower Extremity Functional Scale, University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) activity scale and EuroQol-5 dimension (EQ-5D). Satisfaction rates and the PASS thresholds were also assessed. RESULTS THA patients improved quicker and achieved higher outcome scores than TKA patients. Comorbidities according to the Sangha score were moderately correlated with all PROM values in an inverse direction at all time points (r = -0.27 to -0.47, p < 0.01) in both groups. Satisfaction with the result of surgery improved over time. At 12 months, more than 90 % of the patients were satisfied or very satisfied with the achieved result. The THA group showed a higher proportion of very satisfied patients than the TKA group at all time points. PASS thresholds increased over time for all PROMs except for the UCLA and the EQ-5D in TKA patients. CONCLUSIONS More than 90 % of the patients will be satisfied 1 year after TJR. THA patients recover faster than TKA patients, i.e., they achieve higher PROM values at earlier follow-up time points. Cutoff values defining a successful result in terms of the PASS could be defined for all PROMs at different time points and can serve as reference for future studies and patient-oriented follow-ups.

Abstract
Despite of the steady decrease of surgical site infection (SSI) over the last two decades, the incidence of SSI after hip and knee arthroplasty has recently surged. This may be explained by technical changes that may result in an increased risk of SSI, such as the broad implementation of fast track programs, and/or early interventions on suspected SSI. By definition, early intervention may lead to a higher SSI score, even in the absence of a true SSI. In any case, the reverse trend of SSI warrants further investigations.
