Number of Participants Evaluated for the Effectiveness of Cefoxitin as a Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis.
To compare the effectiveness of cefoxitin, a second generation cephalosporin (Cohort 1), with piperacillin-tazobactam, a broad-spectrum penicillin (Cohort 2), as surgical antibiotic prophylaxis in decreasing the overall rate of postoperative SSIs in patients undergoing PD. The primary endpoint, overall SSI rate, is defined as superficial incisional SSI, deep incisional SSI, or organ/space SSI within the first 30 days after the operation, as defined according to the ACS NSQIP data collection operations manual.
