Surgical site infection contributes to a significant proportion of postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. Surgical site infections cause significant patient burden, increase duration of stay, and have economic implications. Closed incision negative pressure therapy has been shown to reduce surgical site infection rates in patients undergoing elective laparotomy; however, there is limited evidence for their use in the emergency setting. This study aims to compare rates of surgical site infection between patients receiving closed incision negative pressure therapy and standard surgical dressing after emergency laparotomy through a propensity matched analysis.
A registry-based, prospective cohort study was undertaken using data from the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit database at our center. The primary outcome measure was surgical site infection as defined by the Centers for Disease Control criteria. Secondary outcomes included 30-day postoperative morbidity and grade, duration of stay, 30-day mortality, and readmission rates. A propensity-score matching was performed in a 1:1 ratio to mitigate for selection bias.
A total of 1,484 patients were identified from the National Emergency Laparotomy Audit data set, and propensity-score matching resulted in 2 equally matched cohorts with 237 patients in each arm. The rate of surgical site infection was significantly lower in the closed incision negative pressure therapy cohort (16.9% vs 33.8%, P < .001). There were no overall differences in 30-day morbidity, Clavien-Dindo grade, Comprehensive Complication Index severity, length of hospital stay, reoperation rates, and 30-day mortality between the 2 groups.
Prophylactic closed incision negative pressure therapy in emergency laparotomy patients is associated with a reduction in surgical site infection rates.
