To compare the efficacy of intravenous single dose, less costly cefotaxime and more expensive amoxycillin-clavulanic acid combination for prophylaxis at cesarean section.
A double blind randomized controlled trial was undertaken on 760 subjects with two parallel treatment groups. Data were analyzed using Graphpad Instat 3 McIntosh software by Student's t test, Mann-Whitney U test, the Chi-squared test or fisher's exact test.
Comparatively narrow spectrum low cost cefotaxime is as effective as more expensive commonly used amoxicillin-clavulanic acid with no significant difference of infectious morbidity and hospital stay (p = 0.27 and 0.11 in elective and emergency cases respectively).
Less costly cefotaxime should be preferred compared to more costly amoxicillin-clavulanic acid combination for prophylaxis at cesarean section.
比较静脉注射单剂量、成本较低的头孢噻肟与成本较高的阿莫西林-克拉维酸联合用药在剖宫产术中预防性应用的疗效。
对760名受试者进行双盲随机对照试验,分为两个平行治疗组。使用Graphpad Instat 3 McIntosh软件,通过学生t检验、曼-惠特尼U检验、卡方检验或费舍尔精确检验对数据进行分析。
光谱相对较窄、成本较低的头孢噻肟与成本较高的常用阿莫西林-克拉维酸效果相当,在感染发病率和住院时间方面无显著差异(择期和急诊病例中p值分别为0.27和0.11)。
在剖宫产术中预防性应用时,与成本较高的阿莫西林-克拉维酸联合用药相比,成本较低的头孢噻肟更值得选用。
