Closed Incision Negative Pressure Therapy vs Standard of Care Over Closed Knee and Hip Arthroplasty Surgical Incisions in the Reduction of Surgical Site Complications: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Comparative Studies.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are common surgical procedures but carry a risk of harmful and costly surgical site complications (SSCs). This systematic review and meta-analysis examined the impact of closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) on the risk of SSCs following THA and TKA.

Methods

A systematic literature review identified studies published between January 2005 and July 2021 comparing ciNPT (Prevena Incision Management System) to traditional standard-of-care dressings for patients undergoing THA and TKA. Meta-analyses were performed using a random effects model. A cost analysis was conducted using inputs from the meta-analysis and cost estimates from a national database.
