A comparison of arthroscopy combined with continuous irrigation, arthroscopic debridement alone, and open arthrotomy for the treatment of septic arthritis of the native knee

Table 6 Multivariable logistic regression: independent risk factors for failure of initial surgery in knee septic arthritis

Variable	Odds ratio (95% CI)	p-value
Open arthrotomy	11.31 (1.7 ~ 75.24)	0.012
Arthroscopic debridement alone	6.87 (0.83 ~ 56.96)	0.078
Infection classification III and above	4.39 (0.91 ~ 21.33)	0.066
Positive culture	0.62 (0.15 ~ 2.58)	0.511
Symptom duration	0.99 (0.91 ~ 1.08)	0.812

The Hosmer–Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test yielded a p-value of 0.399, which is greater than 0.05, indicating that the model fits well
