The Diagnostic Utility of Fast Tests for Detecting C-Reactive Protein in Synovial Fluid in Periprosthetic Joint Infections
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
BACKGROUND: Despite the fact that many synovial fluid biomarkers have found application in the routine diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), this process still remains a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. To simplify this process, fast point-of-care (POC) tests can be used during ambulatory visits and in operating room conditions. However, before such tests can be routinely used in clinical practice, they require validation. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of different fast POC tests for detecting C-reactive protein (CRP) in synovial fluid for the diagnosis of PJI. METHODS: Synovial fluid samples were collected from 120 consecutive patients who underwent revision total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The patients were divided into 2 groups. The first group included 76 patients who underwent revision for reasons other than infection (the aseptic revision TJA [arTJA] group), and the second group included 44 patients who underwent revision because of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The diagnosis of infection was made according to the International Consensus Meeting (ICM) 2018 criteria. All patients were operatively treated at a single orthopaedic center from January 2022 to February 2023. Four fast CRP tests with different cutoff values (1 and 3 mg/L, >=8 mg/L, >=10 mg/L [cassette], >=10 mg/L [strip]) were used off-label for synovial fluid testing. Tests were performed on the same synovial fluid samples, and the results of these tests were compared with those obtained with the laboratory method. RESULTS: The cassette test with a minimum cutoff value of >=8 mg/L demonstrated the best accuracy for the diagnosis of chronic PJI, with a sensitivity and specificity of 90.9% and 90.8%, respectively. For the cassette test with a cutoff value of >3 mg/L, the sensitivity and specificity were 68.2% and 77.6%, respectively. For the tests with a minimum cutoff value of >=10 mg/L, the sensitivity and specificity were 77.3% and 94.7%, respectively, for the cassette test and 77.3% and 96.1%, respectively, for the strip test. The laboratory method with the statistically calculated threshold (2.7 mg/L) revealed the highest AUC (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve) value (0.95), with 90.9% sensitivity and 94.7% specificity. CONCLUSIONS: The cassette POC test with the minimum cutoff value of >=8 mg/L had very good accuracy for the diagnosis of chronic PJI. This test had comparable sensitivity and slightly lower specificity in comparison with the laboratory method with the calculated threshold of 2.7 mg/L. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Diagnostic Level III.
