Outcome and Predictors of Treatment Failure in Total Hip/Knee Prosthetic Joint Infections Due to Staphylococcus aureus

Abstract: The results of the present study suggest that ASA score ≤ 2 and use of rifampin-combination therapy are two independent factors associated with favorable outcome of patients treated for total hip or knee prosthetic infections due to S. aureus.

“…For this reason, it is considered the drug of choice for the treatment of S. aureus PJI in combination with an appropriate anti-staphylococcal agent to prevent acquisition of resistance [1,2]. However, little data has clearly demonstrated the superiority of rifampicin-based regimens in comparison with other combinations in patients presenting with S. aureus PJI, and there is a debate on the adequate dose for patients presenting with PJI [9,[14][15][16][17].…”

“…The majority of implanted medical device infections are caused by staphylococcal species, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (1,2,4). Systemic administration of vancomycin (Van) plus rifampin (Rif) is recommended in clinical practice guidelines to treat these infections (14-16) because combinatorial therapy with Rif has an added therapeutic benefit (27,28). Newer antistaphylococcal agents such as linezolid (Lin) and daptomycin (Dap) are also used to cover MRSA (29).…”
