Abstract: likely to have an antibiotic charge than those undergoing clean procedures (n¼103,529), (67.8% vs. 22.9%, p<0.005).Hospitals with antibiotic charges for clean procedures (non-compliant) were more likely to have antibiotic charges for clean-contaminated procedures (compliant) (r¼0.7,p¼0.01).At the hospital level, there was greater variation (range 9.8-97.8%) in compliance with SAP for clean-contaminated procedures (CV 0.36) compared to clean procedures (range 35.0%-98.2%)(CV 0.20).CONCLUSIONS: Hospitals tended to administer SAP regardless of wound classification.There was also greater variation in compliance with SAP guidelines for clean-contaminated procedures.Although local practices may explain this variation, our findings highlight the need for standardization of SAP.
