Introduction
Ofthe234millionsurgeriesperformedintheworldin2004,the equivalentofoneoperationforevery25people,twomillion resulted indeath inthe perioperative period and approxi-matelysevenmillionhadcomplications,ofwhich50%were consideredpreventable.
Consideringthe magnitude ofthe problem, in 2009the WorldHealth Organization(WHO)established10 objectives aimingtoensureandpromotethesurgicalpatient’ssafety;the sixthobjectiverecommendsthatthehealthteamuseknown methodstominimizetheriskofsurgicalinfection andthe tenthdeliberates that hospitalsand public healthsystems mustestablishsurveillanceonthesurgicalcapacity,volume andresults.1Thus,itisconsideredthatepidemiological stud-iescancontributetotheplanningofpreventionmeasuresfor surgicalinfectionsandimprovetheprovidedqualityofcare.
Thesurgicalsiteinfection(SSI)isoneofthemostsevere complicationsanddefinedasonethatmanifestswithin30 daysafterthesurgicalprocedure.Insurgicalproceduresthat includeimplantorprosthesis,aperiodofuptooneyearafter surgeryisconsideredasadiagnosticcriterion.2
FortheCenterforDiseasesControlandPrevention,inthe UnitedStatesofAmerica,SSIisresponsibleforapproximately 17%ofallhealthcare-associatedinfections(HAI)3;inBrazil,it isthethirdmostfrequentinfection,affectingbetween14%to 16%ofhospitalizedpatients4andfortheWHO,thiscomplaint represents37%ofallinfections.1TheSSIcanbeclassifiedas superficialordeep;thoseconsideredsuperficialaretheones involvingonlytheskinandthesubcutaneouslayer,whereas thoseinvolvingdeepincisiontissue,suchasfasciaand mus-cles,areconsidereddeep.4
Amongthe orthopedicsurgical procedures that include prostheses,thetotal hiparthroplasty (THA)and totalknee arthroplasty (TKA) are performed for the treatment of chronic refractory pain, mostly caused by osteoarthritis,
lesionscausedbyrheumatoidarthritis,avascularnecrosisand fractures.5 The arthroplasty provides better quality of life; however, amongthepossiblecomplications theoccurrence of postoperativeinfection stands out.6,7 Thisis considered aseverecomplicationduetothemorbidityassociatedwith prolonged hospitalizationand needforsurgical reinterven-tionsandmayresultinshorteningoftheaffectedlimb,severe deformitiesanddeath.7
TheNationalHealthSurveillanceAgencyofBrazil recog-nizestheimportanceofpreventiveactionsand experimen-tally launched in 2014 the National Arthroplasty Register program.Thisinitiativewillallowthesurveillanceofimplants andbasedonthedatabaseandepidemiologicalstudies,the establishmentofactionstoreducerisks,assessthe quality ofimplants,aswellaspreventpostoperativecomplications, whichwillcontributetothesafetyofsurgicalpatients.8
ArapidclinicalandlaboratorydiagnosisofSSIinjoint pros-thesesmayincreasethechancesofsolvingtheproblem,as theyaresevereandhigh-costevents9andtheknowledgeof thesecomplications’epidemiologywillcontributetotheir pre-vention.Epidemiological surveillance,reportingofinfection casesandinformationfeedbacktothesurgicalteamarealso strategiesinthepreventionofthesediseases,inadditionto stimulatingthemultidisciplinaryteam’scommitment.10
Inthissense,theepidemiologyofcasesofarthroplasties thathavedevelopedinfectioncontributestopromote correc-tiveandpreventiveactions,aswellaspromotethesafetyof the surgicalpatient. Therefore,the aimsofthisstudywere tocharacterizearthroplasties,calculatethesurgicalinfection rateandidentifyassociatedriskfactors.
Method
0026.0.091.208-11, carried out in a teaching hospital in Curitiba,statecapitalofParana,Brazil.
Thestudy periodcomprised36 months(January2010to December2012)andincludedallsurgicalproceduresforhipor kneereplacements.Fromthedatabaserelatedtostudyperiod surgeries,physicalandelectronicmedicalrecordsand infec-tion notificationforms generatedbythe Hospital Infection ControlServicewereassessed.Notificationofhospital infec-tionsresultedfromprospectiveepidemiologicalsurveillance duringhospitalizationandoutpatientreturn,intheperiodup tooneyearaftersurgery;thecriteria,diagnosisand classifica-tionofinfectionusedinthestudywerethoserecommended bytheCentersforDiseaseControlandPrevention11andthe NationalHealthSurveillanceAgencyoftheBrazilianMinistry ofHealth.2,4
Basedondocumentalsources,thefollowingdatawere col-lectedandenteredintoaMicrosoftExcel2007spreadsheet: patient’sregister andname,age, gender,medicaldiagnosis thatmotivatedthesurgery, dateofhospitaladmissionand discharge(discharge ordeath),typeofarthroplasty surgery (primaryorsecondary),siteoftheprocedure(THAorTKA), unilateral or simultaneousbilateral procedure, time ofthe startandend ofsurgeryandpatientoutcomes.Ofpatients who developed SSI, information was also collected about performedculturesandisolatedmicroorganisms, character-ization of infection (superficial, deep, of organ or space), readmission,reoperationandclinicaloutcome.
DatawereanalyzedusingtheStatisticalPackageforSocial Sciences v. 20.0 and the results obtained from quantita-tivevariables were described asmean,standard deviation, minimumandmaximumvalues.Qualitative variableswere expressed as frequencies and percentages such as those relatedtogender,numberofsurgeries perpatient,baseline medicaldiagnosis,descriptionandtypeofsurgeryand evolu-tionornottoinfection.Fisher’sexacttestwasusedtoassess the association betweentwo dichotomous qualitative vari-ables. The comparison ofgroups defined by infection (yes orno), inrelationtoage, wascarriedout usingStudent’st testforindependentsamples;andcomparisonbetween sur-gerieswithandwithoutinfection,inrelationtothetimeof surgical procedure was carried out using the nonparamet-ric Mann–Whitney test. The nonparametric Wilcoxon test was usedcompare the preoperative time withthe time of postoperativehospitalizationamongcasesofsurgeriesthat developedanddidnotdevelopinfection.Thep-values<0.05 wereconsideredstatisticallysignificant.

Discussion
Theclinicalandepidemiologicalprofileofpatientssubmitted toarthroplastysurgeryduringthestudyperiodis character-izedbypatientswithpredominantdiagnosesofcoxarthrosis and gonarthrosis,withamedianof59.17yearsand under-going primary surgery. There was a higher frequency of womenundergoingsurgery,whichcorroboratesareviewstudy onfactorsassociatedwithkneeosteoarthritisperformedby ZhangandJordan12in2010,whichindicatedthatfemalesare most oftenaffected by osteoarthritisafter menopause due to hormonalchanges; regardingthe development of infec-tion, therewasno significant differencebetween menand women.
The mean age of patients submitted to THA and TKA reportedbytheresearchersrangedfrom63to75years,7,12,13 older than what was observed in this study, which was 59 years.Thejointdiseases thatmostoften affect individ-uals submittedtoTHAand TKAarethe osteoarthrites.5,6,13 Piano,Golmia and Scheinbergcarriedout a study inBrazil and demonstrated that the diagnostic profile of patients reached92.4%onlyforosteoarthritisand2%forinflammatory arthritis.14Inthisstudy,althoughthediagnosticclassification ismorespecific,ingeneraltheresultsaresimilar,butwitha higherprevalenceofarthritis.
AnotherstudycarriedoutinaBrazilianhospitalbyLenza et al.13 described the epidemiological characteristics and adverse eventsofpatientssubmitted toTHAand TKA;the prevalenceofsuperficialSSIwas1.45%inTHAand1.2%ofin TKA,whichrequiredantimicrobialtreatment,butnot reopera-tion.Insimilarstudies,theSSIratewas6.42%in592patients submittedtoprimaryTKA15and inTKArevisions,itvaried from9%16to25.2%.17Inthisstudy,theincidenceofdeepand organ/spaceinfectioninTHAwas2.8%and5.78%inTKAand allpatientsweresubmittedtoantibiotictherapyand reopera-tion.
Deepinfections result inadhesion,colonization, biofilm formationandbacterialadhesiontotheimplantedmaterial,in additiontobecomingabarrierthatpreventsantibioticaction; as the bacterial dissemination over the biomaterialmakes theinfection chronicand resistant,thechoiceoftreatment isimplantremoval.18Whitsideetal.19consideredasthegold standardforthetreatmentofTKAinfection,implantremoval andnewsurgicalinterventionforrevisionintwostages,with the intravenousadministration ofantibioticsforsixweeks andfillingthejointcavitywithantibiotic-loadedbonecement spacer.

Themultidisciplinaryteamcanusedatafrom evidence-basedstudies toimprove theuse ofresourcesand prevent unnecessary costs12; among the actions to prevent these infections, reduce costs and improve the use of hospital resources,itisessentialtohaveprofessionalswithdifferent backgrounds,includingatthefinancialandhumanresource departments, to share information, evaluate routines and makechangeswhennecessary.13
Consideringallsurgeriesinthisstudy,themeanhospital lengthofstaywas5.9days(SD=6.2),withaminimumoftwo andmaximumof69days.Theincreaseinthepatient’s hospi-talstayisavariablethatisdirectlyrelatedtotheoccurrence ofinfectionandthefinancialcosts.Prolongedhospitalization periodsandreadmissions,increasehospitalcosts,inaddition totriggeringmorbiditiesassociatedwithhospitalization.
Ideally,themeanhospitallengthofstayshouldnotexceed fivedaysinordernottobecomeariskfactorforthepatient21; consideringall analyzedsurgeries,the meanlengthofstay exceeded the suggested time and was significantly higher among patients who developed infection, which may also incurinhigherfinancialcosts.
Asforthedurationoftheprocedure,Ercoleetal.22showed thatamongthe infection cases,79.4% occurredinpatients submittedtoorthopedicsurgerylastingmorethan120min.In thisstudythemeansurgicaltimeforpatientsthatdeveloped infectionwas138.6minand126inthosewhodidnotdevelop it.Althoughnotstatisticallysignificant,the resultindicates atrendthattimesaredifferent(p=0.067)andreinforcesthis factorasariskforthedevelopmentofSSI.
ThepredominanceofStaphylococcusaureusinthecultures supportsthe literaturedata10,23 and although most ofthe surgerieswereprimaryones,secondarysurgeriesshowedno evidenceofbeingassociatedwithinfection,aswellasgender andage.
Conclusion
There was equivalence between THA and TKA, with a prevalenceofbilateralcoxarthrosisandgonarthrosisand pri-maryarthroplasties. Infections inprimary TKA were more prevalentand riskfactors withstatisticalsignificancewere not identified; surgical time showed a tendency toward beinganassociatedriskfactor.There wasapredominance of Staphylococcus aureus as the etiological infectious agent, emphasizing the importance of surgical preparation, as well as the improvement ofsurgical time, as a preventive measure.
