Silver-Based Dressings in the Prevention of the Incisional Surgical Site Infection: A Prospective Multicenter Observational Controlled Trial
SURGICAL INFECTIONS(2022)
摘要
Background: A new silver-based dressing has been designed to reduce surgical sited infections.Patients and Methods: A prospective multicenter observational study was conducted from January 2020 to October 2021. Patients with and without silver-based dressing after surgical incision were observed and their data analyzed. The study aimed to assess the incidence of incisional surgical site infection and primary healing after general surgery procedures.Results: Overall, 218 patients with silver-based (n = 109) and conventional silver-free dressing (n = 109) were analyzed. Surgical site infection (SSI) and primary incision healing were reported in 10 (9.2%) versus 21 (19.3%) (p = 0.037) and in 95 (87.2%) versus 86 (78.9%) (p = 0.107) patients treated with and without silver-based dressing, respectively.Conclusions: Silver-based dressing demonstrated a lower incidence of incisional SSI and improved primary healing in comparison with patients in whom conventional non-silver-based dressing has been used.
