ABSTRACT
OBJECT It is reported that antimicrobial prophylaxis (AMP) reduces the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in neurological surgery. However, a great deal of variation exists regarding the type of antibiotics, dose, timing and duration. In this study, the authors analyzed the incidence of SSI comparing two different AMP protocols. CLINICAL MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Five hundred and fifty patients who had undergone neurosurgeries at our institute between April 2005 and August 2007 were reviewed retrospectively. They were divided into the protocol F (309 patients with two or more days AMP) and the protocol P (241 patients with one-day AMP).RESULTS:
Baseline characteristics were not statistically different between two protocols. The overall rate of SSI was 1.5%. Although SSI showed a trend of low SSI incidence in the protocol P (0.8%), this was not statistically significant compared with that in the protocol F (1.9%).CONCLUSIONS:
The one-day (< 24 hours) administration of AMP is enough to prevent SSI in neurological surgery.
