Abstract

Introduction

Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been widely utilized to reduce blood loss and allogeneic transfusions in patients who undergo lower limb arthroplasty. In recent years, there have been several articles reporting the incidence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) as a primary outcome of TXA administration, but no meta-analysis has been conducted to date. The present systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the efficacy of TXA administration in preventing PJI and surgical site infection (SSI).

Materials and methods

Pubmed, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library bibliographic databases were searched for studies published by May 24, 2022, that evaluated the effects of TXA on PJI and SSI. Two researchers screened the identified studies based on the PRISMA flow diagram. The quality of each randomized clinical trial was assessed using Version 2 of the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool for randomized trials (ROB2.0), and the quality of cohort and case–control studies was assessed by risk of bias for nonrandomized studies (ROBANS-I).

Results

Of the 2259 articles identified from the database search, 31 were screened and selected. Treatment with TXA significantly reduced the incidence of overall infection, including PJI, SSI, and other infections (OR 0.55; 95% CI 0.49–0.62) (P < 0.00001), and that of PJI alone (OR 0.53; 95% CI 0.47–0.59) (P < 0.00001). TXA reduced the incidence of overall infection in patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty (THA; OR 0.51; 95% CI: 0.35–0.75) (P = 0.0005) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA; OR 0.55; 95% CI: 0.43–0.71) (P < 0.00001). Intravenous administration of TXA reduced the incidence of overall infection (OR 0.59; 95% CI 0.47–0.75) (P < 0.0001), whereas topical administration did not.

Conclusions

Intravenous administration of TXA reduces the incidence of overall infection in patients undergoing both THA and TKA.

Knie-TEP: Kein Vorteil durch antibiotikahaltigen Knochenzement

29.05.2024 Periprothetische Infektionen Nachrichten

Zur Zementierung einer Knie-TEP wird in Deutschland zu über 98% Knochenzement verwendet, der mit einem Antibiotikum beladen ist. Ob er wirklich besser ist als Zement ohne Antibiotikum, kann laut Registerdaten bezweifelt werden.

Häusliche Gewalt in der orthopädischen Notaufnahme oft nicht erkannt

In der Notaufnahme wird die Chance, Opfer von häuslicher Gewalt zu identifizieren, von Orthopäden und Orthopädinnen offenbar zu wenig genutzt. Darauf deuten die Ergebnisse einer Fragebogenstudie an der Sahlgrenska-Universität in Schweden hin.

Fehlerkultur in der Medizin – Offenheit zählt!

28.05.2024 Fehlerkultur Podcast

Darüber reden und aus Fehlern lernen, sollte das Motto in der Medizin lauten. Und zwar nicht nur im Sinne der Patientensicherheit. Eine negative Fehlerkultur kann auch die Behandelnden ernsthaft krank machen, warnt Prof. Dr. Reinhard Strametz. Ein Plädoyer und ein Leitfaden für den offenen Umgang mit kritischen Ereignissen in Medizin und Pflege.
