Table 3 Comparison of preoperative and postoperative characteristics of patients with aseptic loosening and septic loosening.
| Aseptic (n=34) | Septic (n=15) | p value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Preop ESR (median (min–max)) | 17 (3–83) | 36 (13–107) | 0.002b |
| Preoperative CRP (median (min–max)) | 0.36 (0.04–11.29) | 1.1 (0.47–16.89) | 0.001b |
| Soft tissue thickness (median (min–max)) | 53 (21–130) | 25 (18–87) | 0.003b |
| Revision surgery duration (min) (mean±SD) | 178.66±61.82 | 295.33±46.39 | |
| Number of blood transfusions (units) | 1.76±1.47 (0–5) | 4.13±1.80 (1–8) | |
| Mortality (n, %) | 2 (5.9) | 2 (13.3) | 0.576c |
| Preop ESR – preoperative erythrocyte sedimentation rate; preop CRP – preoperative C-reactive protein; mean±SD – arithmetic mean with standard deviation; median (Min–Max) – median value with the minimum and maximum range; n (%) – number of patients (percentage); min – minutes; b Mann-Whitney U test; c chi-square test/Fisher’s exact test. | |||
