Association of Prophylactic Antibiotic Guideline Non-Adherence with Surgical Site Infections in Patients Receiving Perioperative Vancomycin: Results from a Multi-Institutional Combined NSQIP and MPOG Registry.
Article in Annals of surgery, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo investigate whether non-adherence to the combined Infectious Disease Society of America (IDSA), the Surgical Infection Society (SIS), and the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) guideline based antibiotic choice, timing, and/or dose of vancomycin was associated with Surgical Site infections in surgeries where vancomycin was administered. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Despite the pivotal role of antibiotics in preventing surgical site infections (SSIs), widespread non-adherence to IDSA/SIS/SHEA guidelines especially related to vancomycin for intraoperative antibiotic prophylaxis continues. It is unclear whether this non-adherence is associated with SSIs.
methodsIn this multicenter observational study, we utilized integrated data from Multicenter Perioperative Outcomes Group (MPOG) registry, the National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) and Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative (MSQC) registries encompassing 31 academic and community hospitals for surgeries from 01/01/2014 to 08/31/2022. Patients over 18 years of age who underwent non-cardiac procedures involving a skin incision and who were administered Vancomycin were included. The co-primary exposures were non-adherence to IDSA/SIS/SHEA guidelines with respect to choice, dose, or timing, and the primary outcome was NSQIP/MSQC-coded SSI. A hierarchical generalized linear mixed model with surgical patients nested within MPOG institutions was performed.
resultsA total of 5542 unique cases met the inclusion criteria, 55.5% participants were women, and the mean (SD) age was 60.0 (14.3) years. The incidence of SSI was 5.6% in the cohort. Non-adherence to guideline-based antibiotic choice, dosing and timing was 705 (12.7%), 59 (1.1%) and 197 (3.6%) respectively. In adjusted analysis, non-adherence to antibiotic choice [RR (95% CI): 1.64 (1.17, 2.31), P =0.004], and timing [RR (95% CI): 1.56 (1.01, 2.40), P=0.043] were significantly independently associated with SSI.
conclusionsGuideline adherent antibiotic choice (IDSA/SIS/SHEA metric) and time of vancomycin administration (IDSA/SIS/SHEA and SCIP metric) are associated with reduced odds of Surgical Site Infections in patients receiving perioperative vancomycin prophylaxis.
