Association Between Antimicrobial Prophylaxis With Double-Dose Cefuroxime and Surgical Site Infections in Patients Weighing 80 kg or More

Rami Sommerstein et al.

Summary: The study investigated whether double-dose cefuroxime for surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis in patients weighing at least 80 kg was associated with a decreased rate of surgical site infection (SSI). The results showed that double-dose cefuroxime was not consistently associated with a lower SSI rate in this patient population.
