Filter by:The goal of this randomized control trial is to investigate the superiority of 5 days (extended) versus a single dose of cefazolin prophylaxis in revision arthroplasty of the hip and knee. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is an extended regimen compared to a single dose of cefazolin associated with an increased infection-free implant survival within one year after index revision arthroplasty of the hip or knee? - What are the incidence, risk factors, treatment outcome and prognosis of surgical site infections and periprosthetic joint infection during follow-up? - What is the safety and tolerance of the antimicrobial prophylaxis regimens used? - What are the antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of micro-organisms causing PJI during follow-up? - What is the patient' physical performance and satisfaction of subjects within 1 year after the index revision arthroplasty, using patient related outcome measurements (PROMS)? [question 2] Participants will [describe the main tasks participants will be asked to do, treatments they'll be given and use bullets if it is more than 2 items]. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare [insert groups] to see if [insert effects].
This is randomised double blinded placebo-controlled parallel-group study. Patients in Hospital Queen Elizabeth, Sabah and Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan who undergo laparotomy for peritonitis will be equally randomised into two groups : intervention group receiving super-oxidised solution and the control group receiving normal saline during peritoneal and wound lavage. This is a superiority study assessing the effectiveness of the intervention. The patient and doctors directly involved in the partient care will be blinded in this study
The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of surgical site infection (SSIs) after third molar surgery for different duration of intravenous ampicillin administration.
This is a multicenter randomized controlled trial of 1100 patients to evaluate the superiority of combined intraoperative wound irrigation with intraoperative peritoneal lavage with dilute aqueous povidone-iodine compared to normal saline in male and female patients between the ages of 18 and 80 years old undergoing emergency laparotomies with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) class 2 and 3 wounds.
This is a randomized controlled, prospective, multicenter superiority trial with two parallel treatment groups and single blinding (local investigators performing postoperative follow up will be blinded for group allocation), with prospective enrollment planned from July 2024 to June 2025 in 20 Italian surgical centers. All patients undergoing elective major gastro-intestinal (GI) tract surgery (upper GI, HPB, & lower GI) will be included in a prospective database after written informed consent. A total of 2,000 patients is expected based on a mean of 100 cases per center.
DUOFAG® is a phage cocktail containing bacteriophages active against Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is an investigational medicinal product for the treatment of surgical site infections caused by S. aureus and P. aeruginosa. The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate the safety of DUOFAG® and the clinical and microbiological change within 10 weeks after the start of treatment or until healing.
The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of using Bioelectric wound dressing on the pre-operative wound site and post operatively and compared it outcomes to the standard of care chlorhexidine skin preparation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of closure in patients with ostomies that are ready for closure. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Surgical site infection rates 2. Patient quality of life 3. Time to wound healing Participants will undergo either complete ostomy wound closure after washing out the wound with Prontosan, or their ostomy wound will be closed using the Pursestring method, where the wound will be left partially open and allowed to heal from the inside out. Researchers will compare these two groups' outcomes (questions to be answered) as listed above.
Considering the relatively high incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in colorectal surgery, this trial will compare rates of SSI in patients undergoing colorectal resections followed by surgical wound irrigation with povidone-iodine versus the group of patients undergoing surgical wound irrigation with saline solution. The trial will be conducted in a large university hospital in Southern Brazil.
There is controversy about the maximum number of elements to be included in a surgical site infection (SSI) prevention bundle and the possibility of its implementation at a multi-center level. This study analyzes SSI rates in colorectal surgery after the implementation of two preventive bundles. The investigators hypothesized that the thorough introduction of a well-designed large bundle of best practice preventive measures would result in good adherence and greater reduction of SSI rates after colorectal surgery.
