Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To demonstrate that no postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis is not inferior to antibiotic prophylaxis with respect to surgical site infections (SSI) in subjects having undergone OS. The primary hypothesis is that the SSI rate in subjects undergoing OS without postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (no AP) is not clinically relevant higher than in subjects with postoperative antibiotic prophylaxis (AP;Secondary Objective: To evaluate further efficacy and subject-oriented parameters of no AP in comparison to AP;Primary end point(s): Occurrence of postoperative A1 SSI (superficial incisional) as defined by CDC/KISS [21, 25] ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: within 30 days after surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Deep incisional (A2) and/or organ or space SSI (A3) as defined by CDC/KISS [21, 25] As an implant is used, a deep incisional (A2) or organ and space SSI (A3) may occur within 90 days after surgery according to CDC/KISS criteria [21, 25]. 2. Systemic infections, defined as a systemic inflammatory response syndrome associated with a postoperative SSI consecutive to OS. White blood cell Count, c-reactive Protein 3. LOS, defined as the number of days from OS to the day of discharge. 4. HRQoL, measured by SF-36 and OHIP-G-14 HRQoL is an important patient-oriented outcome and can be directly or indirectly influenced by SSI. 5. Non-severe medication related adverse events, defined as mild diarrhoea or skin rash due to antibiotic administrations. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. POD 90 2.
