Resumo
BACKGROUND Alpha-defensin has been widely studied for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, there is a lack of detailed information regarding the proper laboratory technique of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method, such as sample dilution.AIM To assess the influence of dilution in the synovial fluid during ELISA for the diagnosis of knee PJI; and determine which dilution presents a better performance. METHODS Forty samples of synovial fluid from arthroplasty knees were included, 17 in the infected group and 23 in the aseptic group, according to Musculoskeletal Infection Society criteria. Initially, five synovial fluid samples from each group were assessed for quantitative analysis of alpha-defensin using ELISA. Different dilution ratios (1:10, 1:100, 1:500, 1:1000 and 1:5000) were tested based on the predetermined cutoff value of 5.2 mg/L. The dilutions that performed better were used to compare the results of all samples. RESULTS For infected cases, a gradual increase in the dilution of synovial fluid samples led to an equivalent increase in alpha-defensin level. The same was not observed in the aseptic cases. Both 1:1000 and 1:5000 dilutions presented satisfactory results to differentiate infected and aseptic cases. Further analyses were performed using 1:1000 and 1:5000 for all 40 samples. The 1:1000 dilution resulted in a sensitivity of 88.2% (95%CI, 66%-98%) and specificity of 95.7% (95%CI, 79%-99%), whereas the 1:5000 dilution presented a sensitivity of 94.1% (95%CI, 73%-99%) and a specificity of 100% (95%CI, 86%-100%). CONCLUSION The synovial fluid dilution had an important influence on the alpha-defensin ELISA results. Dilutions of 1:5000 showed the best performance for the diagnosis of knee PJI. The results of this study set the basis for a more reliable and reproducible alpha-defensin ELISA during the investigation of PJI, contributing to the expansion of this technique in different treatment centers worldwide.
