Key result
In multivariate analysis, only duration of operation of 175th percentile was a significant risk for surgical site infection, while most other comparisons failed to demonstrate statistically significant differences.

Operative duration >75th percentile was associated with SSI risk; leaves open whether prophylactic antibiotic timing affects infection rates.

Yes
Does the timing of prophylactic antibiotics affect the rate of surgical site infection?
Duration of operation >75th percentile is a significant risk factor for surgical site infection, while most other comparisons regarding antibiotic timing failed to show significant differences.
E. Patchen Dellinger (2007) conducted an observational in Surgical site infection. Prophylactic antibiotics administration and timing was evaluated on Surgical site infection. In multivariate analysis, only duration of operation of 175th percentile was a significant risk for surgical site infection, while most other comparisons failed to demonstrate statistically significant differences.
