Cutting Periprosthetic Infection Rate: Staphylococcus aureus Decolonization as a Mandatory Procedure in Preoperative Knee and Hip Replacement Care—Insights from a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of More Than 50,000 Patients
2024
Overview
Background: No consensus in the literature has been found about the necessity of implementing a decolonization screening protocol for Staphylococcus aureus in patients who undergo prosthesis implantation of the knee (TKA) or of the hip (THA), with the aim of reducing periprosthetic infections (PJIs). Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, and Embase in April 2024. Studies conducted on patients who underwent a TKA or THA and who followed a screening and decolonization protocol from S. aureus were included. The benefits of implementing this protocol were evaluated through the number of infections overall caused by S. aureus and other pathogens. The risk of bias and quality of evidence were assessed using Cochrane guidelines. Results: A total of 922 articles were evaluated, and of these, 12 were included in the study for a total of 56,930 patients. The results of the meta-analysis showed a reduced risk of overall PJI (p = 0.002), PJI caused by S. aureus (p < 0.0001), and PJI caused by MRSA (p < 0.0001) and highlighted no differences between the two groups in the onset of a PJI caused by other bacteria (p = 0.50). Conclusions: This study showed that the screening and decolonization of S. aureus in patients undergoing THA or THA procedures reduced the risk of a PJI. The screening and decolonization protocol for this kind of patient represents an important procedure for the safety of the patient and in social-economic and medico-legal terms.
