Aim

S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci are the most frequent bacteria responsible for PJI. In patients with acute PJI (i.e. <1 month following the implantation), DAIR with exchange of removal components followed by a combination of antibiotics that includes rifampin (particularly rifampin+fluoroquinolone) are recommended. Unfortunately, some patients could not receive rifampin due to drug-drug interaction or stopped it due to an adverse event. Finally, it was unclear if the dose and the duration of rifampin influenced the prognosis.

Method

We performed a retrospective cohort study in 4 hospitals and included patients with staphylococcal acute post-operative (< 1 month) PJI treated with DAIR in 2011–2016 period. Univariate and multivariate Cox analysis and Kaplan Meier curves were used to determine the risk factors for treatment failure (persistence of clinical signs, new surgery w/o persistence or superinfection, infection-related death).
