Background: In 7 hospitals in Belo Horizonte, a city with >3,000,000 inhabitants, a survey was conducted between July 2016 and June 2018, focused on surgical site infection (SSI) in patients undergoing arthroplasty surgery procedures. The main objective is to statistically evaluate such incidences and enable a study of the prediction power of SSI through pattern recognition algorithms, the MLPs (multilayer perceptron). Methods: Data were collected on SSI by the hospital infection control committees (CCIHs) of the hospitals involved in the research. All data used in the analysis during their routine SSI surveillance procedures were collected. The information was forwarded to the NOIS (Nosocomial Infection Study) Project, which used SACIH automated hospital infection control system software to collect data from a sample of hospitals participating voluntarily in the project. After data collection, 3 procedures were performed: (1) a treatment of the database collected for the use of intact samples; (2) a statistical analysis on the profile of the hospitals collected; and (3) an assessment of the predictive power of 5 types of MLP (backpropagation standard, momentum, resilient propagation, weight decay, and quick propagation) for SSI prediction. MLPs were tested with 3, 5, 7, and 10 hidden layer neurons and a database split for the resampling process (65% or 75% for testing and 35% or 25% for validation). The results were compared by measuring AUC (area under the curve; range, 0–1) presented for each of the configurations. Results: Of 1,246 records, 535 were intact for analysis. We obtained the following statistics: the average surgery time was 190 minutes (range, 145–217 minutes); the average age of the patients was 67 years (range, 9–103); the prosthetic implant index was 98.13%; the SSI rate was 1.49%, and the death rate was 1.21%. Regarding the prediction power, the maximum prediction power was 0.744. Conclusions: Despite the considerable loss rate of almost 60% of the database samples due to the presence of noise, it was possible to perform relevant sampling for the profile evaluation of hospitals in Belo Horizonte. For the predictive process, some configurations have results that reached 0.744, which indicates the usefulness of the structure for automated SSI monitoring for patients undergoing hip arthroplasty surgery. To optimize data collection and to enable other hospitals to use the SSI prediction tool (available in www.sacihweb.com ), a mobile application was developed.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Site Infection

IntroductionSurgical site infection (SSI) is a potential complication of surgical procedure. SSI after implant surgery is a disaster both for patients and surgeons. Although predictive tools for SSI are available, none of them estimate early infection based on inflammatory blood parameters. The inflammatory process can be measured using several parameters including interleukin-6, C reactive protein, neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio, white cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate or procalcitonin. This systematic review aims to determine whether inflammatory blood parameters could be used as significant predictive factors for SSI after primary hip or knee arthroplasty.Methods and analysisA systematic review of randomised controlled trials, cross-sectional studies, case–control studies and cohort studies, published in English, will be searched in the following electronic bibliographic databases: MEDLINE, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and Web of Science. Studies performed in adult patients of all ages who underwent knee or hip arthroplasty, studies containing data on the risk/prognostic factors for preknee or postknee or hip arthroplasty SSI and studies with a minimum follow-up of 30 days after surgery will be included. A standardised form will be used to extract data from the included studies comprising study characteristics, participant characteristics, details of the intervention, study methodology and outcomes. Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy tool, second version, and Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies checklist will be used to assess risk of bias. Heterogeneity will be assessed using Cochran χ² statistic and I2 statistics where applicable. Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidance will be used to report findings.Ethics and disseminationNo ethics approval is required. The findings will be disseminated at national and international scientific sessions, also to be published in a peer-reviewed journal.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020147925.

Abstract Background: Hip resurfacing had been utilized since the 1950s. The concept favored for young active patients owing to its proposed advantages. Revision rate of hip resurfacing in most national registries nearly 3.5%. Conversion to total hip replacement may be the correct option for old patients and those whose activity levels changed and the need for hip resurfacing no longer required.Purpose: The aim of this study is to assess the mid-term outcomes of converting failed hip resurfacing arthroplsty to total hip arthroplasty. Primary outcomes included improvement of Oxford, WOMAC, Harris and UCLA hip scores. Also; radiological follow-up has been evaluated for component stability or signs of loosening. Secondary outcomes included surgical site infection, residual groin pain, and heterotopic ossification. Most of patients (22 patients (88%) reported relief of pain and good to excellent patient satisfaction. Study design: Prospective case series study.Level of evidence: Therapeutic IV.Patients and Methods:Twenty–five patients (fifteen males) with failed hip resurfacing arthroplasty converted to total hip arthroplasty enrolled in this study. Mean age 56.8 years. Mean time to revision 36.8 months. Indications for revision included: femoral neck fractures (10 cases), femoral neck thinning (3 cases), component loosening (4 cases) component dislocation (2 cases) persistent groin pain and clicking (3 cases) and wear of components (3 cases). Nineteen patients revised both components while remaining six underwent revision of femoral component only. Results:The average duration of follow up was 26.8 months (28-48 months). The study was an intermediate term follow-up. Clinical outcome evaluated through Oxford, WOMAC, Harris and UCLA hip scores. Preoperative scores 21.3, 78.3, 35,7 and 2 respectively improved to 39.8, 11.1, 92.3 and 7 respectively at last follow-up representing statistically significant improvements over pre-operative scores (p < 0.0001 for each score) Radiological follow-up evaluated for component stability or signs of loosening. No cases of neurological, vascular, deep infection or implant failure. There were 3 cases (3%) with complications. one case complicated by surgical site infection with serous drainage for more than seven days and treated with oral antibiotics and daily dressings. One case had residual groin pain, and third case had mild heterotopic ossification. All patients were satisfied particularly by their pain relief. Average post operative Oxford, Harris and WOMAC hip scores were 17.4, 89.8 and 6.1 respec-tively. representing statistically significant improvements over pre operative scores (p < 0.0001 for each score)Conclusions: study shows conversion of hip resurfacing to THA has high satisfaction rates. These results compare favorably with those for revision total hip arthroplasty
