Supports prioritizing antibiotic prophylaxis for sepsis prevention in joint replacement; leaves open prospective trials to confirm cost-effectiveness.
Are clean air systems and antibiotic prophylaxis cost-effective for reducing sepsis in total joint replacement operations?
Both antibiotic prophylaxis and clean air systems are cost-effective measures for reducing sepsis in total joint replacement surgeries.
O. M. Lidwell (1984) studied Total Joint Replacement. Clean air systems and antibiotic prophylaxis was evaluated on Cost effectiveness and sepsis reduction. Antibiotic prophylaxis and clean air systems in total joint replacement operations are cost-effective measures for reducing sepsis, with antibiotic prophylaxis being the most cost-effective.
