Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This pilot clinical trial studies bathing bundle regimen in reducing gynecological surgical site infection in patients undergoing surgery. A bathing bundle regimen may reduce the risk of wound infection, extended length of hospital stay, readmission into the hospital, and the overall healthcare costs in patients undergoing surgery.

- description
- Patients undergo preoperative preparation with the "Bathing Bundle" comprising CHG 4% skin prep solution and disposable wash cloths to bathe or shower with the night before and morning of surgery.
- interventionNames
- Procedure: Infection Prophylaxis and Management
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Presence of a site infection, compared with historical SSI rates among RPCI GYN surgery patients treated with the standard of care before July 1, 2010
- timeFrame
- Within 30 days following surgery
- description
- Assessed using Fisher's exact test. This primary analysis will be supplemented by logistic regression modeling for the probability of an SSI given the bathing regimen used, controlling for compliance and other patient characteristics of interest. The pre- and post intervention patient samples will be compared on various demographic, health behavior, and disease characteristics. Descriptive statistics and various graphical displays will be provided as appropriate.
