Increased Postoperative Glucose Variability Is Associated With Adverse Outcome Following Two-Stage Exchange Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Joint Infection

摘要

Background: Glucose variability in the postoperative period has been associated with increased rates of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following primary arthroplasty. It is unknown how postoperative glucose control affects outcome of surgical treatment of PJI patients. We hypothesized that postoperative glucose variability adversely affects the outcome of 2-stage exchange arthroplasty.
