Current evidence does not recommend screening urine culture and curing asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) before joint arthroplasty. The bacteriuria count on pre-operative urinalysis is a more common clinical parameter. We aimed to investigate whether the bacteriuria count on preoperative urinalysis can increase postoperative wound complications in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface antigen) is the most common marker of infection, which is present in high concentrations in early acute infections and is continued to be produced in chronic disease. The present study is undertaken because there is paucity of data indicating prevalence of Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C among pre-operative patients admitted in our hospital.

The clinical care was based primarily on screening of women at health-center level by nurses using visual inspection with acetic acid (VIA), with visual inspection with Lugol’s iodine (VILI) being added to the screening algorithm later in the project. Since it was not considered feasible or cost- effective to offer treatment at every facility offering screening, women were referred to the district hospital for further management after a positive screening test. Nurses at the district hospital carried out cryotherapy, and more complicated cases were referred to the provincial hospital.
