Sociobiome in Periprosthetic Joint Infection: The Effect of Social Determinants of Health on Microorganism Profile and Clinical Outcomes
Patients with an increased ADI and SVI were more likely to experience gram-negative and polymicrobial infections, as well as prolonged LOS and non-home discharge. The findings of this study suggest that the "sociobiome" has an effect on the incidence and postoperative outcomes of PJI. The findings of this study demonstrate that SDOH indices can be a useful tool in categorizing high-risk patients and mitigating health inequalities in septic revision procedures.
