  1. TKA total knee arthroplasty (compared to THA), RA rheumatoid arthritis. All variables were adjusted for age/gender, any kind of infection, including urinary tract and respiratory infections
  2. aMechanical complication: dislocation, osteolysis in prosthesis with less than 6 years old, loss of implant fixation, implant failure, fracture
  3. bInfection-complication: superficial and deep infections, called prosthetic joint infections (PJI). In italic all significant factors (P value < 0.05)
