Patient-Related Predictors of Treatment Failure after Two-Stage Total Hip Arthroplasty Revision for Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment has high failure rates even after two-stage revision. Risk factors for treatment failure after staged revision for PJI are not well defined, nor is it well established how they correlate with the risks of developing an index PJI. Identifying modifiable risk factors may allow preoperative optimization, while identifying non-modifiable risk factors can influence surgical options or advise against further surgery. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to better define predictors of treatment failure in two-stage revision for PJI.
