Postoperative outcomes in total hip arthroplasty following femoral head avascular necrosis in HIV-positive patients.
Article in Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2021. 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
backgroundFew clinical studies have been published reporting the clinical outcomes of total hip replacement (THA) in HIV-positive patients affected by femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN) often with controversial results and often without any correlation with the immunological patient status. Our study aim is to retrospectively review the outcome of a HIV-positive patient series. MATERIAL AND
methods24 THAs perfomed between 2007 and 2017 were assessed in the study. All patients have been classified with Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention) HIV classification. At the latest follow-up each patient have been evaluated using Harris Hip Score (HHS), WOMAC score, a numerical pain rating scale (NRS) and procedure-related complications were collected.
resultsAt a mean mean follow up of 96,41 months the mean WOMAC score was 91,66 and the mean Harris Hip Score was 86,77 with excellent results in 18 hips, good in 1 and poor in the 5. Post-operative complications were reported in 7 hips, 3 patients developed a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients with low CD4+ count and history of intravenous drug consumption.
conclusionWe registered a good outcome in HIV patient with femoral head AVN treated with Total Hip replacement. However, we reported a significant increase in complications and revision rate especially referred to PJI, in patient with history of intravenous drug consumption and low CD4+ count. The authors advocate further prospective multicentric studies with larger population in the future. (www.actabiomedica.it).
