Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed the cost-effectiveness of extended postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (E-PAP) following adult spinal surgeries.
- - Both types of analysis (stratified and nonstratified) showed E-PAP did not significantly reduce surgical site infections (SSI) compared to standard protocols.
- - Implementing E-PAP resulted in longer hospital stays and higher costs, with increases of $244.4 for the 72-hour protocol and $309.8 for the >48 hours protocol compared to shorter antibiotic treatments.
