The J-shaped non-linear relationship demonstrated that increased BMI was associated with an increased risk for PJI after primary THA or TKA. Patients following THA were more likely to suffer from PJI than patients following TKA. Also, patients with ASA score ≥3, lung disease and diabetes have a higher risk of PJI. Gender and hypertension did not influence the incidence of PJI.
