Résumé

Neuromuscular and syndromic (NMS) scoliosis patients are at higher risk of acute surgical site infections (SSIs). Despite following POSNA's endorsed consensus-based guidelines for SSI prevention, our institutional rates of acute SSI have varied dramatically. This variability drove simultaneous strategies to lower SSI rates: the creation of a preoperative Medical Optimization Clinic (MOC) and use of antibiotic-impregnated (Abx-I) calcium sulfate beads. Patients undergoing index PSF at a single institution between 2016 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with ≥ 2 risk factors were included: (1) BMI < 18.5 or > 25; (2) incontinence; (3) instrumentation to pelvis; (4) non-verbal; (5) GMFCS IV/V. SSI was defined as deep infection within 90 days. We compared patients who attended MOC and received Abx-I (MOC + Abx-I) to those receiving neither intervention (control) nor a single intervention. 282 patients were included. The overall infection rate was 4.26%. Higher GMFCS (p = 0.0147), non-verbal status (p = 0.0048), and longer fusions (p = 0.0298) were independently associated with infection rate. Despite the MOC + Abx-I group having larger Cobb angles (88° ± 26°), higher GMFCS levels (4.5 ± 0.9), ASA class (3 ± 0.4), and more frequent instrumentation to the pelvis (85%), they had the lowest infection rate (2.13%) when compared to the control (4.2%) or single intervention groups (5.7%, 4.6%) (p = 0.9). The study examined the modern infection rate of NMS patients following the implementation of two interventions: MOC and Abx-I. Despite having higher risk factors (curves (88°), GMFCS level (4.5), ASA class (3), higher % instrumentation to the pelvis (85%)), the patients treated with both interventions demonstrated the lowest infection rate (2.13%).

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Neuromuscular and syndromic (NMS) scoliosis patients are at higher risk of acute surgical site infections (SSIs). Despite following POSNA's endorsed consensus-based guidelines for SSI prevention, our institutional rates of acute SSI have varied dramatically. This variability drove simultaneous strategies to lower SSI rates: the creation of a preoperative Medical Optimization Clinic (MOC) and use of antibiotic-impregnated (Abx-I) calcium sulfate beads.
METHODS METHODS
Patients undergoing index PSF at a single institution between 2016 and 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients with ≥ 2 risk factors were included: (1) BMI < 18.5 or > 25; (2) incontinence; (3) instrumentation to pelvis; (4) non-verbal; (5) GMFCS IV/V. SSI was defined as deep infection within 90 days. We compared patients who attended MOC and received Abx-I (MOC + Abx-I) to those receiving neither intervention (control) nor a single intervention.
RESULTS RESULTS
282 patients were included. The overall infection rate was 4.26%. Higher GMFCS (p = 0.0147), non-verbal status (p = 0.0048), and longer fusions (p = 0.0298) were independently associated with infection rate. Despite the MOC + Abx-I group having larger Cobb angles (88° ± 26°), higher GMFCS levels (4.5 ± 0.9), ASA class (3 ± 0.4), and more frequent instrumentation to the pelvis (85%), they had the lowest infection rate (2.13%) when compared to the control (4.2%) or single intervention groups (5.7%, 4.6%) (p = 0.9).
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The study examined the modern infection rate of NMS patients following the implementation of two interventions: MOC and Abx-I. Despite having higher risk factors (curves (88°), GMFCS level (4.5), ASA class (3), higher % instrumentation to the pelvis (85%)), the patients treated with both interventions demonstrated the lowest infection rate (2.13%).
