Table 6 Comparison of GLB, AGR, fibrinogen, ESR and CRP between the PJI patients who used antibiotics two weeks before and PJI patients who had not used antibiotics recently

From: Globulin, the albumin-to-globulin ratio, and fibrinogen perform well in the diagnosis of Periprosthetic joint infection
