Overview

Randomised control trial compares antibiotic courses in cesarean patients, suggesting both may reduce surgical site infections.

Key Points

  • A short course of prophylactic antibiotics reduced surgical site infections similarly to a long course.
  • In Group A, 6 out of 70 patients experienced surgical site infections, compared to 7 in Group B.
  • Mean hospital stay was 2 days for the short course and 4 days for the long course, showing a trend towards shorter stays.
  • Randomised controlled trial found no significant difference in outcomes between both antibiotic regimens.
