Antibacterial-coated Sutures at Time of Cesarean — ASTC  

Surgical Site Infection Clinical Trial

Official title:
Antibacterial-coated Sutures at Time of Cesarean

Clinical Trial Summary

Abdominal closure with antibacterial-coated sutures has been shown to reduce wound infections after a number of surgical procedures, but none of the previous trials included cesarean delivery. Our objective is to determine whether use of antibacterial-coated sutures reduces surgical site infection (SSI) after cesarean delivery.

Clinical Trial Description

A review of 18 studies demonstrated a significant benefit of antimicrobial coated sutures in reducing SSI (RCTs: OR 0.72; 95% CI 0.59-0.88; observational studies: OR 0.58; 95% CI 0.40-0.83). As there are no clinical trials focusing on cesarean delivery, and because the risk factors and pathogenesis for post-cesarean SSI may not mirror other procedures, further data is needed before generalizing the WHO recommendations to cesarean procedures. ;
