The AUC of D-dimer, serum D-lactate, FIB and ESR 0.67, 0.80, 0.80 and 0.80, respectively. B The distributions (median and IQR) of D-dimer, D-lactate, FIB and ESR in PJI and aseptic group. Solid lines represent the cutoff value recommended in a previous study8. Dotted lines represent the optimal. Threshold based on the current study. D Sensitivity and specificity of D-lactate, FIB and ESR. (E) PPV and NPV of D-lactate, FIB and ESR
