Evaluating a Change in Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Kidney Transplant Recipients
2018
The purpose of this study was to retrospectively evaluate if a change in practice from January 2013 to August 2015 affected the rate of surgical-site infections following kidney transplantation at the single academic medical center. More patients were found to have a surgical-site infection when surgical antibiotics were only given intra-operatively despite a lower incidence of risk factors identified in the literature when compared to the cohort who received antibiotics intra-op and post-op for 24 hours.
