Association of Surgical Antibiotic Prophylaxis with Postoperative Outcomes Following Pediatric Gastrostomy Tube Placement: A Propensity Score Overlap Weighted Analysis

Abstract

Surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis (SAP) before gastrostomy tube placement is supported by guidelines but evidence regarding its efficacy in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs) in children is conflicting and largely extrapolated from adult data. This study aims to analyze the association between SAP and postoperative outcomes in children undergoing G-Tube placement.
