Short summary
We assessed whether two debated scoring tools, KLIC and CRIME-80, could predict the failure of a treatment called debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) in prosthetic joint infections. We reviewed data from 102 patients. Neither score reliably predicted failure, even when the treatment was repeated. Our results highlight the limited clinical utility of these scores and support the need for better tools to guide treatment decisions in joint infections.
