BACKGROUND: Synovial calprotectin is a promising biomarker for diagnosing chronic periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs), but its diagnostic value has not been directly compared to synovial leukocyte count and polymorphonuclear neutrophils. This study aimed to: (1) evaluate and compare the diagnostic accuracy between these markers in patients undergoing revision arthroplasty for chronic PJI or aseptic reasons; and (2) determine the best rule-out and rule-in test for PJI.
METHODS: Synovial fluid samples from patients undergoing revision arthroplasty in hip and knee joints were collected and analyzed. Patients diagnosed with an acute PJI, patients treated with antibiotics 2 weeks prior to revision surgery, and/or patients who had active inflammatory joint disease were excluded. Periprosthetic joint infections were diagnosed based on the presence of a sinus tract and/or positive intraoperative cultures according to the European Bone and Joint Infection Society microbiological criteria.
RESULTS: A total of 137 patients were included, of whom 19 (14%) were diagnosed with a PJI. Overall, synovial calprotectin had the highest diagnostic accuracy of all studied markers (area under the curve 96%). Synovial calprotectin, with a cutoff of 50 mg/L, had the highest negative predictive value of 100%. However, PMNs (> 80%) combined with a leukocyte count (> 3,000 cells/μL) showed the highest positive likelihood ratio of an infection (PLR 17).
CONCLUSIONS: Synovial calprotectin is the most accurate biomarker for ruling out a chronic PJI, while the combination of synovial leukocyte count and PMN is most reliable for ruling in a chronic PJI.
