Blood loss and allogeneic transfusion for surgical treatment of periprosthetic joint infection: a comparison of one- vs. two-stage exchange total hip arthroplasty.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe purpose of the current study was to compare the blood loss and the need for allogeneic transfusion after one- and two-stage exchange arthroplasty for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) of THA.
methodsWe performed a retrospective review of all patients undergoing either one-stage or two-stage septic exchange arthroplasty at two high-volume infection referral centres. The study cohort consists of 90 patients undergoing the two-stage and 184 patients the one-stage exchange arthroplasty. The difference between pre- and post-operative haemoglobin (Hb) and total blood loss as well as the allogeneic transfusion rate were compared between both groups.
resultsBoth procedures together of the two-stage septic exchange arthroplasty had higher intra-operative blood loss and allogeneic blood transfusion rate compared to the one-stage septic exchange arthroplasty group. However, among the patients of the two-stage group, there were more smokers and had worse physical status (ASA) and higher mortality risk (CCI) than patients in the one-stage group.
conclusionsTwo-stage septic revision of total hip arthroplasty has higher rates of blood loss and transfusion rates than one-stage revision. Therefore, the authors believe that blood loss rate, including its complications, should be considered when decision for the type of staged septic exchange is made.
