Purpose To identify clinical and laboratory predictors for low- and high-grade prosthetic joint infection (PJI) within the first postoperative days following primary total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). Methods Institutional bone and joint infection registry of a single osteoarticular infection referral centre was reviewed to identify all osteoarticular infections treated between 2011 and 2021. Among them were 152 consecutive PJI (63 acute high-grade PJI, 57 chronic high-grade PJI, and 32 low-grade PJI) who also had primary THA/TKA performed at the same institution, which were retrospectively analyzed with multivariate logistic regression and covariables. Results For each additional day of wound discharge, persistent wound drainage (PWD) predicted PJI in the acute high-grade PJI group with odds ratio (OR) 39.4 (p = 0.000, 95%CI 1.171–1.661), in the low-grade PJI group with OR 26.0 (p = 0.045, 95%CI 1.005–1.579), but not in the chronic high-grade PJI group (OR 16.6, p = 0.142, 95%CI 0.950–1.432). The leukocyte count product of pre-surgery and POD2 >100 predicted PJI in the acute high-grade PJI group (OR 2.1, p = 0.025, 95%CI 1.003–1.039) and in the chronic high-grade PJI group (OR 2.0, p = 0.018, 95%CI 1.003–1.036). Similar trend was also seen in the low-grade PJI group, but was not statistically significant (OR 2.3, p = 0.061, 95%CI 0.999–1.048). Conclusions The most optimal threshold value for predicting PJI was observed only in the acute high-grade PJI group, where PWD >three days after index surgery yielded 62.9% sensitivity and 90.6% specificity, whereby the leukocyte count product of pre-surgery and POD2 >100 showed 96.9% specificity. Glucose, erythrocytes, hemoglobin, thrombocytes, and CRP showed no significant value in this regard.
