General skin and nasal decolonization with octenisan® set before and after elective orthopedic surgery in selected patients at elevated risk for revision surgery and surgical site infections—a single-center, unblinded, superiority, randomized controlled trial (BALGDEC trial)

General skin and nasal decolonization with octenisan® set before and after elective orthopedic surgery in selected patients at elevated risk for revision surgery and surgical site infections—a single-center, unblinded, superiority, randomized controlled trial (BALGDEC trial)

Abstract Background The preoperative body surface and nasal decolonization may reduce the risk of surgical site infections (SSI) but yields conflicting results in the current orthopedic literature. Methods We perform a single-center, randomized-controlled, superiority trial in favor of the preoperat...
