This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled study. Patients were evaluated through inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients who meet the conditions will sign an informed consent form. After DAIR surgery, they will be treated with intravenous antibiotics for 1-2 weeks and then randomly assigned to one of the following two groups: Antibiotic treatment group: All enrolled patients will be treated with antibiotics (fluoroquinolones or linezolid) for 3 months based on the results of microbial culture and drug sensitivity after surgery. Rifampicin combined with antibiotics treatment group: In addition to the above-mentioned antibiotics, all enrolled patients were treated with rifampicin for 3 months after the operation. The infection control rates of the two groups were judged through at least 2-year follow-up after the operation.The study will follow the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT) guidelines for reporting parallel group randomised trials. Ethical approval will be obtained from each institution. Written informed consent will be obtained from all participants to ensure their voluntary participation and understanding of the study.
Diagnosed as PJI according to the MSIS criteria
The pathogenic bacteria were identified as Staphylococcus through microbial culture and drug sensitivity tests were conducted
There are complete clinical data ④ Age under 80 years old, without serious complications or immunosuppressive status ⑤ The patient voluntarily participated in this study and was physically and mentally tolerant of the treatment process and various tests in this study. They have signed the informed consent form and passed the review of the ethics committees of all hospitals participating in this study
Those with chronic inflammation in other parts of the body before the operation
Non-staphylococcal infection or mixed infection
The patient has other diseases that may affect the outcome, such as immune deficiency or liver and kidney dysfunction ④ Those with an expected lifespan of less than half a year ⑤ The researcher determined that the patient no longer met the criteria of this study due to compliance issues
Parallel
Rifampicin (R)
DrugIn the "rifampicin combined with antibiotic treatment" group, on the basis of conventional antibiotic treatment, rifampicin is taken orally for an additional three months. In the "antibiotic treatment" group, conventional antibiotics alone are used for treatment
The clearance rate of infection, calculated by the formula
The number of subjects determined to have cleared the infection/the total number of subjects who completed the follow-up. Infection clearance is defined as the patient's (1) complete eradication of infection, wound healing, no fistula, no drainage, no pain, and no recurrence of the same strain of infection. (2) No reoperation intervention due to infection; (3) No deaths caused by PJI-related diseases such as sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis occurred
Adverse events related to PJI
Postoperative functional score
