Abstract
Purpose
There is no consensus on the perioperative use of antibiotics in pediatric solid tumor resection. This study collected data from two pediatric centers that utilize perioperative antibiotics to varying degrees in pediatric solid tumor patients to investigate the occurrence of postoperative sepsis and infectious complications.
Methods
A two-institution, retrospective cohort study was performed. Charts of children who underwent solid tumor resection between July 2018–June 2021 were reviewed. Patient characteristics, diagnosis, operative data, perioperative antibiotic use, and postoperative infection/sepsis were analyzed within 30 days of surgery. The primary outcome was surgical site infection (SSI) or systemic sepsis within 30 days of surgery. Fisher's tests were performed to evaluate differences.
Results
250 patients underwent tumor resection between July 2018 and June 2021 at both centers. The median age was 4 years [Range: 0.02–26.1]. Seventy-five percent (N = 188) received perioperative antibiotics prophylaxis (AP), while 25 % of patients did not receive AP (N = 62). Only one patient in the AP group (0.5 %) developed postoperative sepsis, while 12 patients (19.4 %) in the non-AP group developed sepsis (p < 0.0001). There were 3 SSI in the AP group and none in the non-AP group (p = 1.0).
Conclusions
The administration of AP in children undergoing solid tumor resection is associated with a reduced rate of postoperative sepsis but no difference in SSI. This could possibly be related to bacterial translocation during surgery and the seeding of indwelling central venous access catheters. Our results support the standardized use of AP in this population.
期刊介绍:
The journal presents original contributions as well as a complete international abstracts section and other special departments to provide the most current source of information and references in pediatric surgery. The journal is based on the need to improve the surgical care of infants and children, not only through advances in physiology, pathology and surgical techniques, but also by attention to the unique emotional and physical needs of the young patient.
