Patients who underwent arthroscopically assisted open procedures, those who underwent more complex arthroscopic procedures, and those for whom laterality were not coded were excluded. This study group was compared to a control cohort of patients without intraoperative steroid injections that was matched to the study group for age, gender, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and smoking status. Infection rates within 3 and 6 months postoperatively were assessed using International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, and Current Procedural Terminology codes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The incidence of postoperative infection rates after knee arthroscopy was significantly higher at 3 months (0.66%; odds ratio [OR], 2.6;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .0001) and 6 months (1.92%; OR, 3.6;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .0001) in patients who underwent ipsilateral intra\u2010articular knee steroid injection at the time of knee arthroscopy (n\u00a0= 2,866) compared with matched controls without intraoperative injections (n\u00a0= 170,350) at 3 months (0.25%) and 6 months (0.54%).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The present study demonstrates a significant increase in postoperative infection in Medicare patients who underwent ipsilateral intra\u2010articular knee corticosteroid injections at the time of knee arthroscopy compared with a matched control group without intraoperative injection.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Level of Evidence<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Therapeutic Level III, retrospective comparative study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2015.09.003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,6]],"date-time":"2015-11-06T10:55:50Z","timestamp":1446807350000},"page":"90-95","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/elsevier_cm_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":55,"title":["Intraoperative Corticosteroid Injection at the Time of Knee Arthroscopy Is Associated With Increased Postoperative Infection Rates in a Large Medicare Population"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Jourdan M.","family":"Cancienne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery University of Virginia Health System Charlottesville Virginia U.S.A."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F.
