ABSTRACT
STUDY

OBJECTIVE:

To determine the feasibility of a double-blinded randomized, placebo-controlled study in determining the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in preventing postoperative infections (POIs) in elective nonhysterectomy laparoscopic procedures for benign gynecologic conditions.

DESIGN:

Double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

SETTING:

University-affiliated tertiary referral hospital in Sydney, Australia. PATIENTS Women older than 18 years undergoing elective nonhysterectomy laparoscopic procedures for benign gynecologic conditions were eligible for the study and approached.

INTERVENTIONS:

Before surgery, participants were randomized to receive either 2-g cephazolin or placebo (10-mL normal saline) administered by the anesthetist. Participants and other research staff were blinded to group allocation. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN

RESULTS:

The primary outcome was study feasibility measured by recruitment rates, compliance rates of drug administration, compliance rates of delivery, maintenance of double blinding, and follow-up rates. Secondary outcomes included rate of POIs, length of hospitalization, readmission to hospital, unscheduled presentations to healthcare facilities, and antibiotic-related reactions. Between February 2019 and March 2021, 170 patients were approached with 117 participants (68.8%) recruited and randomized. The study had a high compliance rate of trial drug delivery (95.7%) and a high follow-up rate (99.1%).

CONCLUSION:

This pilot study has demonstrated feasibility of a large-scale study with a recruitment rate of 68% of patients approached and excellent trial drug delivery and follow-up rates. As anticipated, it is underpowered for identifying clinically significant findings for POI rates. A large-scale study is appropriate and essential to determine the health-related risks of antibiotic prophylaxis with an emphasis on antimicrobial stewardship. The sample size for a large-scale study is 1678 participants based on infection rates in this pilot study.
