Abstract
Introduction: Surgical site infections are the most common surgical complication. Antibiotic administration perioperatively has been shown to reduce associated morbidity, however, indiscriminate use has been associated with adverse outcomes. Selective antibiotic prophylaxis guidelines have been published by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) for gynecologic procedures. Little is known regarding adherence to these recommendations.
The primary objective was to determine adherence to ACOG recommendations for antibiotic prophylaxis in surgical sterilization. The secondary objective was to evaluate the patterns and predictors of appropriate antibiotic prophylaxis.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of preoperative antibiotics for laparoscopic and hysteroscopic sterilization procedures was performed at a single institution, Banner University Medical Center - Phoenix (BUMCP), from 01/01/2014 to 12/31/2014. Descriptive data were analyzed using chi-squared for categorical variables and Student t-test for continuous variables. P-values
