[Early-onset post-surgical pneumonia].
to ascertain the impact of surgical antimicrobial prophylasis on the prevention of early-onset post-surgical (EOPP), using an analytical cohort study covered 26,826 patients at the La Paz University Teaching Hospital (General Surgery and Speciality Surgery). The multivariate model showed several risk factors of early-onset post-surgical pneumonia as age, emergency admission, type of surgery, duration of intervention, etc., and one protection factor, antimicrobial prophylasis (OR=0.18, General Surgery and OR=0.44, Speciality Surgeries). Then, antimicrobial prophylasis, aside from its known effect on surgical site infection, was associated as with reduction (2-5 times) of incidence of early-onset postsurgical pneumonía.
