FAR and KP reported a greater number of ALBC than the number of TKAs included. This was because patients may have had more than 1 type of cement, as explained by the KP. Thus, the total denominator of ALBC (n = 2,022,371) was greater than the number of TKA with ALBC included (n = 2,020,823) (see Table 2).
Procedure using a mixture of different types of cement or others. Difficult to differentiate antibiotics used because it is mixed-use and will contain cement with different antibiotics. Most of the antibiotics used are gentamicin (though a small number are mixed with erythromycin, tobramycin and/or vancomycin) but insufficient information in most procedures.
TKA with ALBC, but missing information on name of ALBC, antibiotic loaded, and /or company/manufacturer
