| Core Tip |
The alpha-defensin lateral flow (ADLF) test is a new diagnostic tool for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). We evaluated a cohort of 52 patients that underwent aspiration of hip arthroplasty to assess test accuracy. Using Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria, sensitivity was 100% (CI: 54%-100%) and specificity was 89% (CI: 76%-96%). Using European Bone and Joint Infection Society criteria, sensitivity was lower (71%, CI: 42%-92%) and specificity was higher (97%, CI: 86%-100%), Using 2018 International Consensus Meeting criteria, sensitivity was 91% (62%-100%) and specificity 100% (91%-100%). The results in this cohort are comparable to previous studies. |
