... who did not comply with the MSIS infection definition, those with (primary and revision) tumor arthroplasties, those not followed-up for at least 24 months and those where data were incomplete were all excluded. To optimize consistency with Shohat et al.'s criteria, only patients where DAIR was performed within 3 months from onset of symptoms for EAPJI and within 3 weeks from onset of symptoms for LAPJI were recruited (Figure 1). ...

... table shows that there were no cases with a success score <40% in our series, with the majority of cases exhibiting success rates between 40 and 80%. 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 80-90 90- Application of Shohat's score to all 64 patients yielded an AUC of 0.69, Figure 2. A 50% cut-off point in the score value showed sensitivity = 0.82, specificity = 0.44, and negative predictive value = 0.611. Calibration of the algorithm was analyzed using Hosmer-Lemeshow's goodness of fit test, which indicated poor fit and calibration (p < 0.05). ...
