Abstract:[Objective] To investigate the significance of synovial D-Dimer (D-D) and synovial fibrin degradation product (sFDP) in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). [Methods] A retrospective study was conducted on 49 patients with PJI (the PJI group) and 32 patients with aseptic prosthesis loosening (the APL group) in our hospital from March 2020 to June 2023. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the area under curve (AUC), optimal cutoff value, sensitivity and specificity of each parameter for PJI diagnosis. The statistical method of Delong et al. (1988) was used to compare the ROC results of each item in PJI diagnosis. [Results] The PJI group proved significantly higher than the APL group in terms of WBC [(6.8±2.1)×109 /L vs (5.8±1.6)×109 /L, P=0.026], neutrophils ratio [(63.8±8.2)% vs (55.5±13.0)%, P<0.001], C-reactive protein (CRP) [(29.8±35.6) mg/L vs (1.7±2.6) mg/L, P<0.001], erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) [(63.4±32.5) mm/h vs (16.2±14.6) mm/h, P<0.001], fibrinogen, FIB) [(4.8±1.5) g/L vs (2.8±0.7) g/L, P<0.001], D-dimer (D-D) [(961.3±639.4) g/L vs (385.2±429.4) g/L, P<0.001], sFDP [(3 514.3±2 030.7) mg/L vs (1 222.0±1 352.6) mg/L, P<0.001]. As results of ROC analysis, the CRP (AUC=0.924, sensitivity=87.8%, specificity=84.4%), ESR (AUC=0.913, sensitivity=85.4%, specificity= 81.3%), FIB (AUC=0.892, sensitivity=73.5%, specificity=96.9%), sFDP (AUC=0.875, sensitivity=71.4%, specificity=90.6%) showed good value in the diagnosis of PJI, while D-D value was average (AUC=0.809, sensitivity=65.3%, specificity=84.4%). [Conclusion] sFDP can be used as a new auxiliary parameter in the diagnosis of PJI.
