Abstract:[Objective] To explore the significances of albumin/fibrinogen ratio (AFR), C- reactive protein/ (albumin/globulin) ratio (CAGR) and albumin (ALB) in the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) secondary to major joint replacement. [Methods] A retro- spective study was done on 95 patients who underwent revision of hip or knee arthroplasty in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2021. Of them, 45 patients were definitively diagnosed of PJI, while the remaining 50 patients were definitively diagnosed of aseptic loosening (AL). The blood test parameters were compared between the two groups, then which were analyzed by ROC curve to calculate the sensitivity and specificity, and the diagnostic efficacy by area under curve (AUC). [Results] The PJI group had significantly higher level of CRP [(42.2±47.4) mg/L vs (8.8±18.4) mg/L, P<0.05], ESR [(54.2±27.7) mm/h vs (22.2±18.7) mm/h, P<0.05], FIB [(5.1±1.4) g/L vs (3.4±0.8) g/L, P<0.05], GLO [(32.1±6.3) g/L vs (27.4±4.5) g/L, P<0.05] and CAGR [(39.6±43.6) vs (6.6±14.8), P<0.05], while significantly lower level of ALB [(37.0±7.4) g/ L vs (40.7±4.1) g/L, P<0.05] and AFR [(7.9±3.1) vs (12.9±3.3), P<0.05] than the AL group. As results of ROC analysis, the FIB (AUC=0.869, sensitivity=82.0%, specificity=80.0%) , the AFR (AUC=0.864, sensitivity=92.0%, specificity=80.0%), the CAGR (AUC=0.825, sensitivity= 90.0% , specificity=66.7% ), and the GLO was good (AUC=0.768, sensitivity=54.0% , specificity=91.1% ), while the ALB was fair (AUC= 0.754, sensitivity=86.0%, specificity=60.0%). [Conclusion] AFR, FIB and CAGR might be used as new auxiliary marker for PJI diagnosis.
