lüll Meta-analysis: antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent peristomal infection following percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy Jafri NS; Mahid SS; Minor KS; Idstein SR; Hornung CA; Galandiuk SAliment Pharmacol Ther 2007[Mar]; 25 (6): 647-56BACKGROUND: Despite numerous guidelines recommending prophylactic antibiotics prior to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, their use remains controversial. AIM: To conduct a systematic literature review and performed meta-analyses to determine the benefit of antibiotic prophylaxis for percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement. METHODS: We performed a systematic literature review by searching healthcare databases and grey literature for randomized-controlled trials of antibiotic prophylaxis against wound infection after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy. Relative risks were calculated for individual trials and data pooled using fixed-effects model. Relative risk reduction, absolute risk reduction and number needed to treat were calculated and are reported with 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS: Ten randomized-controlled trials met the inclusion criteria and 1059 cases were pooled. Overall findings indicated that antibiotic prophylaxis resulted in a relative risk reduction of 64% and an absolute risk reduction of 15%. Number needed to treat to prevent one wound infection was 8. Cephalosporin prophylaxis was associated with a relative risk reduction of 64%, absolute risk reduction of 10% and number needed to treat of 10, whereas penicillin-based prophylaxis was associated with a relative risk reduction of 62%, absolute risk reduction of 13% and number needed to treat of 8. CONCLUSIONS: Antibiotic prophylaxis prior to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is effective in reducing the incidence of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy site wound infection. Based on sensitivity analyses, penicillin-based prophylaxis should be the prophylaxis of choice.|Anti-Bacterial Agents/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Antibiotic Prophylaxis/*methods[MESH]|Cephalosporins/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Follow-Up Studies[MESH]|Gastrostomy/*methods[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Penicillins/*therapeutic use[MESH]|Surgical Wound Infection/*prevention & control[MESH] |
