About this study

We are investigating outcome of antibiotic coated vicryl versus non coated vicryl in terms of rate of surgical site infection and lebgth of hospital stay in children after lalaprotomy for perforated viscera. total 100 patients will be taken and 50 in each group.

Read the detailed description

Pneumoperitoneum is typically a surgical emergency, particularly in children and more than 90% of occurrences are caused by perforation of the gastrointestinal tract and other hollow viscera. Wound infections after abdominal surgery are still frequent types of nosocomial infections. Sutures can be a source of wound infection and dehisence due to bacterial adherence and colonization. Sutures coated with antibacterial agents have been developed in an attempt to reduce bacterial adherence and colonization of suture materials. The objective of the study is to compare the outcome of antibiotic coated vicryl versus non-coated vicryl in abdominal fascial closure after laparotomy in children in regards of surgical site infections. It will be a randomized controlled trial in which 100 patients admitted in Children Hospital Lahore will be included. Simple random sampling will be carried out. Informed written consent will be taken from patients' guardian. The patients will be divided into two groups (50 in each group). Group-A patients will undergo laparotomy closure with antibiotic coated vicryl while Group-B patient will experience non-coated vicryl in abdominal fascial closure. All patients will be examined on 3rd, 7th and 30th post-operative day for wound infection according to Southampton wound scoring system. Data will be collected through predesigned proforma, which will be entered and statistically analyzed using SPSS version 24.0. For quantitative variables mean and standard deviation will be calculated and for qualitative variables frequency and percentages will be calculated. Data will be presented in tables and graphs. Chi-square test will be used to estimate the association between qualitative variables. P-value <0.05 will be considered significant. It is expected that results of this study may be helpful for healthcare providers to provide appropriate treatment to the patients and to prevent them from wound related complications.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing antibiotic coated vicryl used for fascial closure in people with Surgical Site Infection, run by Muhammad Adeel Ashiq at 1 site in Pakistan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of surgical site infection (time frame: 30 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Feb 2024.
