Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Presence or absence of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) in patients undergoing hip arthroplasty who used one of the three solutions (chlorhexidine gluconate 4%, 10% povidone and soap without antiseptic). The diagnosis of ISC will be performed using the diagnostic criteria Surgical Site Infection of the National Healthcare Safety Network/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention- NHSN/CDC. For the detection of ISC patients will be followed up by phone calls during the period of 30, 60 and 90 days or doctor's office. In the analysis of infections the SSI incidence rates for each intervention for comparison. To determine whether associations found and differences are statistically significant will use the 5% significance leve. | — |
