BACKGROUND: This study aimed to determine the incidence of septic arthritis across adult age groups in Västra Götaland Region (VGR) of Sweden, while also comparing disease characteristics among different age groups with hematogenous septic arthritis.
METHODS: Using ICD-10 codes for septic arthritis from 2016 to 2019, we identified 955 patients in VGR. We reviewed the medical records of 216 adult patients with hematogenous septic arthritis and compared data across age groups.
RESULTS: The overall incidence of septic arthritis in adults was 4 per 100,000 persons annually, rising to 14 per 100,000 in those ≥80 years. The median age of the 216 patients was 71. The comparison across age groups (18-64, 65-79, and ≥80) showed significantly longer hospital stays and higher mortality rate in the older groups. CRP levels were higher in the middle age group, SF-WBC counts were lower in the youngest age group, and synovial fluid crystals were more common in the oldest. No differences were found in joint involvement or the organisms isolated.
CONCLUSION: The incidence of septic arthritis is 6.5 times higher in patients aged ≥ 80 compared to those under 65, highlighting the need to consider age-related differences in disease management.
