Registered outcomes7

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Surgical Wound Infections From Surgery Through Post-operative Day 9090 days post cardiac surgeryEfficacy will be evaluated by a comparison between the 2 study groups of the incidence of surgical wound infections that occur within the period from surgery through postop day 90.
SecondarySurgically Treated Surgical Wound Infection Postoperative Day 9090 days post cardiac surgeryProportion of patients with surgically treated surgical wound infection adjudicated by an independent blinded committee.
SecondaryProportion of Patients With Deep Surgical Wound Infections Based on Centers for Disease Control Criteria Adjudicated by an Independent Blinded Committee.90 days post cardiac surgery
SecondaryProportion of Patients With Superficial Surgical Wound Infections Based on Centers for Disease Control Criteria Adjudicated by an Independent Blinded Committee.90 days post cardiac surgery
SecondaryNumber of Participants Positive for Each Pathogen Culture90 days post cardiac surgeryAnalysis associated with Microbial Pathogens in Adjudicated 90 Day SWI Subjects ME within Per Protocol Population. Any Microbial Pathogens Detected in SWI (ME)
SecondaryASEPSIS Score90 days post cardiac surgery
ASEPSIS Score through 90 days postoperative - To compare antibiotic regimens for their effectiveness in preventing or treating wound sepsis, well-defined criteria for outcome are needed. A method of assessing wound healing has been devised that defines carefully the characteristics to be considered and how they are to be awarded points. Objective criteria are also included in the assessment. Points are given for the need for Additional treatment, the presence of Serous discharge, Erythema, Purulent exudate, and Separation of the deep tissues, the Isolation of bacteria, and the duration of inpatient Stay (ASEPSIS). The higher the points the worse outcome. Maximum Points would be 60. Minimum points would be 0
SecondaryRehospitalization for Sternal Wound Infection90 days post cardiac surgeryRehospitalization for Sternal Wound Infection - within 90 days postoperatively.
