Abstract |
Objective |
To assess the ability of mid infrared deported spectroscopy to discriminate synovial fluids samples of septic arthritis patients from other causes of joint effusion.
Methods |
Synovial fluids obtained from patients with clinically suspected arthritis were collected, analysed and classified according to standard diagnostic procedures as septic or non-septic. A spectroscopic analysis on synovial fluid samples was then performed using a coiled optical fiber made with chalcogenide glass. After a factorial analysis of the normalized spectra and the computation of a Fisher test used to select the most relevant components, a logistic regression model was fitted, allowing to attribute a score between 0 – non-septic –, and 1 – septic.
Results |
In a first phase, we analysed the synovial fluids from 122 different synovial fluids including 6 septic arthritis among arthritis of various origins. Septic synovial fluids were identified with a sensitivity of 95.8% and a specificity of 93.9% and an AUROC of 0.977. The analysis of an independent set of samples (n=42, including two septic arthritis) gave similar values.
Conclusions |
Our data strongly supports the interest of mid infrared deported spectroscopy, which could be used potentially at point of care, for a rapid and easy diagnosis of septic arthritis. Now, the precision of the diagnosis must be evaluated through a multicentric study on a larger panel of patients.
