Risk factors for mortality following one-stage septic hip arthroplasty - a case-control study.
Article in International orthopaedics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeDespite good clinical outcomes and a high success rate, there is a comparatively high mortality after one stage septic exchange of total hip arthroplasty. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for mortality in the hospitalization period after one-stage septic exchange of THA.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed in our database all patients who had a one-stage septic exchange for periprosthetic infection of THA and died during hospitalization (n = 33). The control group was matched semi-randomly by surgical procedure (n = 121) who did not die during hospitalization. The two groups were analyzed for risk factors such as age, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and high-/low-virulence bacteria.
resultsIn the deceased group, 16 patients were female and 17 were male with a mean age at surgery of 73.2 years. In the control group, there were 55 females and 66 males with an average age at surgery of 68.2 years. Comparing the two groups, the deceased group had a significantly higher proportion of liver disease as well as higher rate of pulmonary embolism, apoplexy, and/or myocardial infarction, an increased CCI with an average of 6.5 and advanced age. Further demographic and surgery-related parameters especially high- or low-virulent germs were not identified as risk factors for mortality during the hospitalization period. The binominal logistic regression analysis showed that the probability of an inpatient death following one-stage septic exchange of THA increases by a factor of 3.079, with each additional point of the CCI.
conclusionIn conclusion, advanced age and high CCI are the main risk factors for mortality after single-stage septic change of THA. However, high-virulence bacteria have no influence on the mortality during the hospitalization period after one-stage septic exchange of THA.
