Outcomes of Total Hip Replacement in Septic Arthritis of the Native Hip Joint Amongst the Adult Population: A Systematic Review v1
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Septic arthritis is a debilitating condition that results in joint destruction and irreversible loss of joint function. Surgical treatment options include arthroscopy, resection arthroplasty and total hip replacement (THR). There is existing literature on the treatment of septic arthritis of various joints including periprosthetic or native joints. However, to our knowledge, there is a lack of a consolidated review that focuses solely on THR outcomes in a previously infected native hip. This study aims to be the first systematic review that examines clinical outcomes of THR, specifically in septic arthritis of the native hip joint in the adult population. Methodology: This systematic review will be conducted in accordance with relevant requirements of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) Statement. PubMed, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, grey literature, and bibliographic references will be searched from inception to October 2023. Only case series or cohort studies published within the last 20 years assessing the outcomes of total hip replacement in native hip septic arthritis will be included. Literature retrieval and data extraction will be conducted by three independent reviewers. The overall methodological quality of the included studies will be assessed using the methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS) tool. Re-infection rate and various functional outcomes data such as the Harris Hip Score (HHS), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Merle D'Aubigne and Postel (MAP), Western Ontario, McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) Short Form 12-Item (SF-12) scores will be collected and analysed. Expected Results: Expected to have 5-10 studies included after removal of duplicates and implementation of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Compiled results of re-infection rates and outcomes of THR in native septic arthritis of the hip will be reported and analysed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
