BARIFER randomized clinical trial. %D 2021 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10668/17592 %X To evaluate preoperative asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) treatment to reduce early-periprosthetic joint infections (early-PJIs) after hip hemiarthroplasty (HHA) for fracture. Open-label, multicenter RCT comparing fosfomycin-trometamol versus no intervention with a parallel follow-up cohort without ASB. early-PJI after HHA. Five hundred ninety-four patients enrolled (mean age 84.3); 152(25%) with ASB (77 treated with fosfomycin-trometamol/75 controls) and 442(75%) without. Despite the study closed without the intended sample size, ASB was not predictive of early-PJI (OR: 1.06 [95%CI: 0.33-3.38]), and its treatment did not modify early-PJI incidence (OR: 1.03 [95%CI: 0.15-7.10]). Neither preoperative ASB nor its treatment appears to be risk factors of early-PJI after HHA.
