The diagnostic accuracy of serum and synovial inflammatory markers in chronic periprosthetic joint infection among anaemic patients
Preoperative anaemia is associated with statistically significant increases in most inflammatory biomarker levels and with higher diagnostic thresholds in chronic PJI. Anaemia-adjusted cut-off values for CRP, ESR, and IL-6 may enhance diagnostic accuracy for PJI in this patient population.
