Journal Article
FRI0113 Postoperative Complications in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis Using A Biological Agent – A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
2016
Overview
ObjectivesTo evaluate through a systematic review of the literature the association between the use of biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) and surgical site infection or wound healing delay after orthopedic surgery in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsA systematic review was performed of articles indexed in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Web of Science from 1992 to 2012. The search aimed to identify studies describing surgical site infection (SSI) or wound healing delay in patients with RA treated with or without bDMARDs. Articles fulfilling the predefined inclusion criteria were reviewed systematically and their quality appraised.ResultsThere was no Cochrane review on this subject. We found 75 articles through specific searches of PubMed and Web of Science, and hand searching. After inclusion and exclusion by full-text review, 10 articles were found for SSI, and five articles for delayed wound healing. The use of bDMARDs appeared to increase the rate of SSI slightly, especially in large joint-replacement surgery. Delayed wound healing was not increased by the use of bDMARDs. However, the definitions of SSI and delayed wound healing varied between the reviewed articles. Most of the articles focused on tumor necrosis factor-a inhibitors.ConclusionsbDMARDs slightly increase the relative risk of SSI but not that of delayed wound healing after orthopedic surgery and should be used with appropriate caution.Disclosure of InterestNone declared
