Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of the use of biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) on surgical site infection (SSI) and delayed wound healing (DWH) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the records of 965 elective orthopaedic procedures undertaken in RA patients. The incidences of SSI and DWH were compared between the bDMARDs user and nonuser groups. Subsequently, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate risk factors for SSI and DWH after propensity score matching. The incidence of postoperative flare-up was also examined.
Results: In 965 procedures, SSI and DWH were identified in 12 and 28 cases, respectively. SSI and DWH were identified in 3 and 17 of 414 procedures treated with bDMARDs, respectively. Flare-up occurred in 21 cases. Propensity score matching identified 315 cases in both groups, with no significant difference in incidence between the two groups. No risk factors for SSI were identified, whereas age, diabetes mellitus, foot and ankle surgery, and a history of musculoskeletal-related infection were identified as risk factors for DWH.
Conclusion: The use of bDMARDs was not associated with an increased incidence of SSI or DWH, with the incidence of flare-up being relatively low.

Background: Serum albumin is generally considered to be a predictor of a patient's nutritional status. Hypoalbuminemia is associated with increased mortality and morbidity in postoperative patients. In this study, we used preoperative serum albumin levels and a drop in postoperative albumin levels to assess various postexploratory laparotomy complications.

Objective: We retrospectively reviewed the records of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who underwent orthopaedic surgery to examine the influence of the perioperative use of Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors on early postoperative complications.
Patients And Methods: Thirty-two patients with RA under disease control with JAK inhibitors who underwent 49 orthopaedic procedures were included in the study. Patient records after surgery were investigated for surgical site infection (SSI), delayed wound healing (DWH), a flare-up of the disease, preoperative and postoperative absolute lymphocyte counts (ALCs), venous thromboembolism, and other postoperative complications.

Background: Mounting evidence suggests that breast reduction surgery displays higher rates of surgical site infections (SSI) than initially presumed. Objective of this network meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness of different antibiotic regimens in the prophylaxis from surgical site infections and delayed wound healing (DWH) following breast reduction.
Methods: A network meta-analysis was conducted using a predetermined protocol after searching the electronic databases MEDLINE, Scopus, the Cochrane Library and US National Institutes of Health Ongoing Trials Register from inception to July 2022.
Prophylactic negative pressure wound therapy following colorectal perforation: defining the risk factors for delayed wound healing.

Purpose: The World Health Organization recommends prophylactic negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for high-risk SSI wounds, despite which delayed wound healing (DWH) remains a problem. The aim of this study was to define the risk factors for DWH under prophylactic NPWT following colorectal perforation (CP).
Methods: The subjects of this retrospective study were patients who underwent emergency laparotomy and prophylactic NPWT for CP between 2011 and 2019 at Fujisawa City Hospital in Japan.
