Evaluation of different antibiotic prophylaxis strategies for hepatectomy: A network meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The application of antibiotic prophylaxis for hepatectomy remains uncertain. This research aims to evaluate different antibiotic prophylaxis strategies for hepatectomy based on network meta-analysis.

Methods

Literature retrieval was conducted in globally recognized databases, namely, MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Central, to address relative randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating antibiotic prophylaxis strategies for hepatectomy. Relative parametric data, including surgical site infection (SSI), remote site infection (RSI) and total infection (TI), were quantitatively pooled and estimated based on the Bayesian theorem. The values of surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) probabilities regarding each parameter were calculated and ranked. Node-
