OBJECTIVE: To conduct a meta-analysis of clinical trials that compared pre-operative scrubbing before painting with painting alone for the prevention of surgical site infections. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis of clinical trials in Pubmed, ScienceDirect and Cochrane databases that compared pre-operative scrubbing before painting with painting alone, and reported surgical site infections, skin colonization or adverse effects as an outcome, was undertaken. A fixed-effect model and a random-effect model were tested. Sensitivity analysis was conducted by removing non-randomized controlled trials. RESULTS: The systematic review identified three studies, involving 570 patients, for surgical site infection outcomes, and four other studies, involving 1082 patients, for positive skin culture outcomes. No significant differences were observed between scrubbing before painting vs painting alone in terms of surgical site infection or positive skin culture. CONCLUSIONS: Further research is needed to draw conclusions. Only one study in this meta-analysis identified adverse effects, but there were too few events to compare the various methods. It is believed that there is no need to scrub the surgical site if the skin is visibly clean and/or if the patient has had a pre-operative shower.Lire moins >
