Background: This study investigates the effect of prophylactic perioperative antibiotic use on patients with small burns [≤20% total body surface area (TBSA)] on rates of infection, graft loss, or readmission.
Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients admitted to our institution's burn center between January 2020 and July 2021. Patients were included if they had a 20% or less TBSA burn with 1 or more operating room visit for burn excision and were excluded if a preoperative infection was present. Data were gathered regarding patient demographics, burn mechanism, burn characteristics, and outcome measures including infection, graft loss, and readmission. Statistical analysis was conducted by Mann-Whitney U and Fisher exact tests, and values reported at two-sided significance of less than 0.05.
Results: There were no significant differences in age, body mass index, TBSA, percent third-degree burn, or comorbidities between patients who received (n = 29) or did not receive (n = 47) prophylactic perioperative antibiotics. There was a nonsignificant trend toward higher length of stay in the prophylactic antibiotic group, possibly driven by a nonsignificant trend toward higher rates of flame injuries in this group. There was no difference in infection ( 0.544), graft loss ( = 0.494), or 30-day readmission ( = 0.584) between the two groups.
Conclusion: This study finds no significant difference in postoperative infection, graft loss, or 30-day readmission in two similar patient cohorts who received or did not receive prophylactic perioperative antibiotics for acute excision of small (≤20% TBSA) burns.
