Context.Surgical site infection (SSI) after total hip and knee arthroplasty is a common postoperative complication. We sought to determine readmission rates and costs for total hip and knee arthroplasty complicated by SSI.Design.The Thomson Reuters MarketScan database was searched for patients who underwent knee or hip arthroplasty in 2007. From these data, patients who received a diagnosis of SSI and were readmitted after diagnosis were identified.Setting.A population of 31 to 45 million individuals receiving insurance coverage. Patients who underwent knee or hip arthroplasty who experienced a hospitalization for SSI in the year after surgery were analyzed.Outcome Measures.Total readmission rates and costs per readmission at 30, 60, and 90 days and 1 year after diagnosis of SSI.Results.Of the 76,289 case patients with hip or knee replacement in 2007, 1,026 (1.3%) had a hospitalization for SSI within the year after surgery. Among these patients, 310 (30.2%) were subsequently rehospitalized in the year after initial hospitalization specifically due to SSI-related issues. These rehospitalizations were associated with a mean hospital stay of 7.4 ± 11.4 days and a median cost of $20,001 (interquartile range [IQR], $14,057-$30,551). A total of 517 subjects had a subsequent “all-cause” hospitalization during the year after SSI. These rehospitalizations were associated with a mean hospital stay of 6.4 ± 10.4 days and a median cost of $19,870 (IQR, $13,913-$29,728).Conclusions.Readmissions during the year after SSI diagnosis accounted for 1,072 hospital admissions and cost over $25.5 million. These readmissions are costly and might be a future target for decreased reimbursement.

Automated Surveillance

In this retrospective study, we compared automated surveillance with conventional surveillance to detect surgical site infection after primary total hip or knee arthroplasty. Automated surveillance demonstrated better efficacy than routine surveillance in SSI diagnosis, sensitivity, and predictive negative value in hip and knee arthroplasty.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2016;37:991–993

Prospective Research

1707 Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty had been retrospectively analyzed for the research. All patients’ data (non-complicated post- Hip and Knee Arthroplasty (1st group - 1579 patients) and post- Hip and Knee Arthroplasty with surgical site infection in 12 months (2nd group - 128 patients)) had been used as an educational matrix for a mathematic forecast and as a construction of a prevention algorithm for septic complications in primary THA and TKA. The study had shown 14 significant criteria which can influence the occurrence of surgical site infection in THA and TKA. 12-month testing period of the software in prospective research (467 cases) had shown a significant decrease rate of surgical site infection in comparison to retrospective research (decrease of 7.5% in the prospective cases and 4.1% - in retrospective).
