The most optimal threshold value for predicting PJI was observed only in the acute high-grade PJI group, where PWD >three days after index surgery yielded 62.9% sensitivity and 90.6% specificity, whereby the leukocyte count product of pre-surgery and POD2 >100 showed 96.9% specificity. Glucose, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, thrombocytes, and CRP showed no significant value in this regard.
