Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the diagnostic value of platelet count(PC),PC to mean platelet volume(MPV) ratio(PC/MPV) and plateletcrit(PCT) in chronic periprosthetic joint infection(PJI).Methods:The medical records of 159 patients who underwent hip or knee revisions at Department of Joint Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from August 2013 to June 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. There were 51 patients(26 knees and 25 hips) in the PJI group,which included 28 males and 23 females,aged (68.0±11.8)years (range:32 to 84 years)with a body mass index(BMI)of (26.1±3.6) kg/m2.There were 116 patients(19 knees and 97 hips) in the aseptic loosening(AL) group,including 67 males and 49 females,aged (70.3±8.9)years(range:49 to 89 years)with a BMI of (25.0±3.6)kg/m2.The plasma C-reactive protein(CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),PC,MPV,PC/MPV and PCT levels of the two groups were recorded and analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of each biomarker,expect for MPV,and the diagnostic value of each biomarker was compared according to the area under the curve(AUC).Independent-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test were used for comparison between groups. Results:Compared with AL group,AJI group had significantly higher levels of CRP,ESR,PC,PC/MPV and PCT(all P<0.05),but lower level of MPV ( P<0.05).The AUCs for CRP,ESR,PC,PC/MPV and PCT were 0.820, 0.829, 0.689, 0.668 and 0.676,respectively. Based on the Youden index,the optimal predictive cutoff for CRP was 11.12 mg/L,with a sensitivity of 74.4% and a specificity of 87.1%.The optimal predictive cutoff for ESR was 17.60 mm/1 h,with a sensitivity of 81.4% and a specificity of 75.3%.The optimal predictive cutoff for PC was 243.00×10 9/L,with a sensitivity of 60.6% and a specificity of 71.8%.The optimal predictive cutoff for PC/MPV was 24.95,the sensitivity was 58.1% and the specificity was 74.1%.And the optimal predictive cutoff for PCT was 0.24%,with a sensitivity of 69.8% and a specificity of 63.5%. Conclusion:PC,PC to MPV ratio and PCT are of limited value to diagnose PJI.
