Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main objective is to demonstrate the superiority of a loading dose of cefoxitin followed by continuous infusion over standard of care boluses in reducing SSI within 30 days after colorectal surgery. ;Secondary Objective: 1.Incidence of individual types of SSI, 2.Incidence of surgical reintervention, 3.Incidence of anastomotic leak 4.Incidence of postoperative complication according to the Dindo and Clavien classification 5.Incidence of Clostridium difficile infection 6.Incidence of hospital readmission 7.Incidence of unexpected admission to the ICU 8.Duration of hospital stay 9.Postoperative mortality 10.Adverse events during the antibiotic administration ;Primary end point(s): Proportion of patients with any SSI within 30 days after surgery. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 30 days after surgery.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1.Proportion of patients with each type of SSI (superficial, deep and/or organ–space infection) 2.Proportion of patients with surgical reintervention 3.Proportion of patients with anastomotic leak 4.Proportion of patients with postoperative complication according to the Dindo and Clavien classification 5.Proportion of patients with Clostridium difficile infection 6.Hospital readmission censored at day 30 7.Unexpected admission to the ICU censored at day 30 8.Duration of hospital stay and hospital free days 9.All-causes mortality 10.Proportion of per operative adverse events ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: at most in the 30 days after surgery.
