Prediction of Early Periprosthetic Joint Infection After Total Hip Arthroplasty.

A new PJI prediction model based on easily accessible data available before THA was developed and externally validated. The model had superior discriminatory ability compared to ASA class alone or more complex comorbidity indices and had good calibration. We provide a web-based calculator (https://erikbulow.shinyapps.io/thamortpred/) to facilitate shared decision making by patients and surgeons.
