  3. Background • Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) • Most devastating complication of total joint arthroplasty • Most common reason for total knee arthroplasty 1 • 1% - 3% incidence with Primary Osteoarthritis 2-3 • 2% - 4% incidence with Rheumatoid Arthritis 4-5 • 3% - 7% incidence with Diabetes 6-7 • Cost of treatment of PJI over $50,000 per patient 8 • Overall yearly cost of greater than $300,000,000 2-3, 8 BozicKJ, et.al.

  4. Background • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) & C-Reactive Protein (CRP) • Simple, inexpensive, readily available, and accurate • Measures of the Acute Phase Reaction • Diagnosis of PJI • Treatment of PJI by following the trends • ESR/CRP in combination are effective tools for helping diagnose PJI • Postop elevated levels of ESR/CRP are predictors of PJI 9-11 • Normal trends of ESR/CRP following THA/TKA are well-studied Della Valle C, et.al..

  5. Background • Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) 12-13 • Peaks on post-op day 5 • Returns to normal at 7-9 months with TKA • C-Reactive Protein (CRP) 14-15 • Peaks on post-op day 2 • Returns to normal by 3-4 weeks with TKA • Remains WNL for aseptic loosening 16 • ESR/CRP nonspecific for PJI, and can be elevated in a number of other medical conditions 17 Park KK, et.al: Normative Temporal Values of CRP and ESR in Unilateral and Staged Bilateral TKA.

  6. Background • Sensitivity for PJI 18-19 • Elevated ESR .82 • Elevated CRP .96 • Excellent Negative Predictive Value when both are WNL • Combination of ESR/CRP shown to be a cost-effective screening protocol for diagnosis of PJI 20 • Similar findings of the usefulness of combined ESR and CRP in the setting of PJI following TKA or THA have been reported 21-22 SpangehlMJ, et. al..

  9. Background • Little data exists on interpretation of preoperative Elevated ESR/CRP • No data exists on how to interpret postoperatively elevated ESR/CRP levels in the setting of preoperative elevation

  10. Study Purpose • Primary • Define the prevalence of preoperatively elevated ESR and CRP within a cohort of healthy patients undergoing primary Total Knee Arthroplasty • Secondary • Define any comorbidities that may contribute to preoperatively elevated ESR and CRP

  11. Materials & Methods • Retrospective chart review of patients who underwent Primary TKA with one surgeon between October 2009 – May 2011 • Demographics Including • Age • Gender • BMI • Medical Comorbidities • Pre-Op Lab Values Recorded • CRP • ESR • WBC

  12. Materials & Methods • Overall Cohort Inclusion Criteria • Total Knee Arthroplasty from October 2007 – May 2011 • Pre-Op Labs Within 30 Days of Procedure • WBC/ESR/CRP • At Least Six Months of Follow-Up • 94 Patients • Idiopathic Cohort Exclusion Criteria • Previous Arthroplasty Performed • Pre-Op Infection/UTI • Chronic Inflammatory Process • 78 Patients

  13. Results • Overall Cohort • Elevated ESR • 41.5% (31/94) • Elevated CRP • 28.7% (27/94) • Idiopathic Cohort • Elevated ESR • 38.5% (30/78) • Elevated CRP • 26.9% (21/78)

  14. Comparison of Overall Cohort and Idiopathic Cohort of Elevated ESR/CRP by Percent vs BMI (kg/m2) • Patients with BMI of 30 – 39.9 • 36 % Elevated ESR • 19.5% Elevated CRP • Patients with BMI > 40 • 64.7% Elevated ESR • 64.7% Elevated CRP • Patients with BMI of 18.5 – 24.9 • 0% Elevated ESR • 0% Elevated CRP • Patients with BMI of 25 – 29.9 • 23.5% Elevated ESR • 11.8% Elevated CRP

  15. Comparison in Idiopathic Cohort of BMI Classification to Mean ESR and CRP

  16. Conclusions • Significant number of otherwise healthy patients undergoing TKA with idiopathically elevated ESR/CRP • Elevated ESR 38.5% • Elevated CRP 26.9% • It is inappropriate to assume that an otherwise healthy patient has a normal ESR/CRP prior to undergoing primary joint arthroplasty

  17. Conclusions • Direct correlation between BMI category and ESR/CRP • Preoperatively, as patient’s BMI category increases, one should assume that their ESR/CRP levels are likely elevated • Patients with BMI of 18.5 – 24.9 kg/m2 • 0% Elevated ESR • 0% Elevated CRP • Patients with BMI of 25 – 29.9 kg/m2 • 23.5% Elevated ESR • 11.8% Elevated CRP • Patients with BMI of 30 – 39.9 kg/m2 • 36 % Elevated ESR • 19.5% Elevated CRP • Patients with BMI > 40 kg/m2 • 64.7% Elevated ESR • 64.7% Elevated CRP

  18. Conclusions • As BMI category increases, so to does the mean of both elevated ESR/CRP as well as the mean of normal ESR/CRP • If periprosthetic infection is present, what threshold ESR/CRP levels in different BMI classes should be used to determine infection clearance and timeliness of arthroplasty re-implantation? • Suggests that large scale prospective studies should be performed to determine more accurate BMI category-specific normal reference ranges for ESR/CRP

  19. Conclusions • Until the results of this study are validated or refuted with large scale trials, one should consider attaining preoperative ESR/CRP values on all patients undergoing joint arthroplasty • Cheap & Readily available • May help put elevated post-op ESR/CRP values into perspective in a patient with a painful arthroplasty • Do these elevated values represent true periprosthetic infection? • Are these lab values being interpreted as elevated when in fact they are WNL with respect to the patient’s BMI?
