Overview
Epidemiology and Demographics
- Incidence of septic arthritis approximately varies between 2 to 10 cases per 100,000 per year in the general population.[1]
- Incidence of septic arthritis in patients with history of rheumatoid arthritis and patients with joint prostheses is ~30–70 cases per 100,000 per year.[2]
- Incidence of septic arthritis in patients with joint prostheses is 40-68 cases per 100,000 per year.
- The case-fatality rate of septic arthritis is estimated to be 10-25%.[3]
- Even after survival from septic arthritis, 25-50% of the patients suffer from irreversible loss of joint function.[4][5]
Age
- Gonococcal arthritis is more common in reproductive age group.
- Non gonococcal arthritis is more common in extreme age groups such as age >80 years or children <2 years.[6]
Gender
- Females are more at risk in getting gonorrheal arthritis and four fold risk compared to men, due to the asymptomatic nature of gonorrheal infection in women.
- Poly articular septic arthritis(PASA) is more common in men when compared to women.[6]
