Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factors for infection after knee arthroplasty. A register-based analysis of 43,149 cases.

TL;DR: There was an increased risk of deep postoperative infection in male patients and in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or a fracture around the knee as the underlying diagnosis for knee replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Obesity, diabetes, and preoperative hyperglycemia as predictors of periprosthetic joint infection: a single-center analysis of 7181 primary hip and knee replacements for osteoarthritis.

TL;DR: Diabetes and morbid obesity increased the risk of periprosthetic joint infection following primary hip and knee replacement and the benefits of joint replacement should be carefully weighed against the incidence of postoperative infection, especially in morbidly obese patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Leptin enhances synthesis of proinflammatory mediators in human osteoarthritic cartilage mediator role of NO in leptin-induced PGE2, IL-6, and IL-8 production

TL;DR: The results support the idea of leptin as a factor enhancing the production of proinflammatory factors in OA cartilage and as an agent contributing to the obesity-associated increased risk for osteoarthritis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Younger age increases the risk of early prosthesis failure following primary total knee replacement for osteoarthritis: A follow-up study of 32,019 total knee replacements in the Finnish Arthroplasty Register

TL;DR: Diagnosis, sex, type of TKR, use of patellar component, and fixation method partly explain the differences, but the effects of physical activity, patient demands, and obesity on implant survival in younger patients warrant further research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apolipoprotein E phenotypes in Finnish youths: a cross-sectional and 6-year follow-up study.

TL;DR: The observed differences in serum cholesterol remained fairly stable during the 6-year follow-up from 1980 to 1986, while the mean serum cholesterol concentration in the whole study population decreased by 6.3%.
