We hypothesize that Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is associated with a lower incidence of surgical site infection (SSI) in lower extremity amputations (LEAs), a potentially devastating complication.
NSQIP database from 2011 to 2018 was queried to identify all-level LEAs. Cases using NPWT were identified. One-to-one nearest-neighbor propensity score matching was performed using a binary logistic regression on NPWT status controlling for patient comorbidities.
NPWT was used in 133 of 5237 total LEAs (2.54%). Compared to propensity score-matched controls, they had significantly fewer SSIs (1.50% vs. 8.27%).
NPWT was associated with lower incidence of SSI.
我们假设负压伤口治疗(NPWT)与下肢截肢术(LEA)手术部位感染(SSI)的较低发生率相关,手术部位感染是一种潜在的毁灭性并发症。
查询2011年至2018年的NSQIP数据库以识别所有级别的下肢截肢术。确定使用NPWT的病例。使用二元逻辑回归对NPWT状态进行一对一最近邻倾向评分匹配,同时控制患者的合并症。
在总共5237例下肢截肢术中,133例(2.54%)使用了NPWT。与倾向评分匹配的对照组相比,他们的手术部位感染明显更少(1.50%对8.27%)。
NPWT与较低的手术部位感染发生率相关。
