Discussion

The general inclusion data for this information was obtained via evidence of a selected ICD-9 procedure code during the hospital admission. General exclusion criteria included patients who were on antibiotics at the time of admission, except for those patients undergoing colon surgery who were on oral antibiotics. Also excluded were patients who were being treated for an infection prior to the first surgical procedure of interest, patients who had antibiotic start dates missing. The numerator data includes all patients who receive antibiotics within one hour before surgical incision (within two hours if vancomycin is required for prophylaxis). The denominator consisted of patients meeting the general inclusion criteria and measure specific exclusions (patients undergoing colon surgery who were given prophylactic oral antibiotics only, and those on whom it was unable to be determined if an antibiotic was started within one hour of the surgery start time due to missing time values.

Arguments for change

Studies clearly indicate that antimicrobial prophylaxis is the most effective when provided prior to the initial incision. Risk of infection is actually felt to increase when prophylaxis is given either too early (meaning more than 2 hours prior to initial incision) or too late (after initial incision) (Classen, Evans, et.al. 1992). The most optimal time for administration would appear to be in the 30 to 60 minutes prior to the initial incision. A brief course of antimicrobial prophylaxis….....
