Abstract
We recently demonstrated improved sensitivity of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) diagnosis using an automated blood culture bottle system for periprosthetic tissue culture [T. N. Peel et al., mBio 7(1):e01776-15, 2016, https://doi.org/10.1128/mBio.01776-15]. This study builds on the prior research by examining the optimal number of periprosthetic tissue specimens required for accurate PJI diagnosis. Current guidelines recommend five to six, which is impractical. We applied Bayesian latent class modeling techniques for estimating diagnostic test properties of conventional culture techniques (aerobic and anaerobic agars and thioglycolate broth) compared to inoculation into blood culture bottl..
