Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Use of PrevenaTM on Clean Closed Sternal Midline Incisions in Subjects at High Risk for Surgical Site Occurrences. (NCT NCT02195310)

NCT ID: NCT02195310

Last Updated: 2024-10-02

Results Overview

The SSI rate (in %) was calculated for each treatment arm as follows: SSI rate = \[Number of Subjects who experienced SSI\] / \[Number of Subjects Analyzed\] \* 100 Subjects included in the numerator for the SSI rate computation must have experienced an SSI post-surgery up to Day 30 (± 4 days). If a subject has the same SSI event on multiple occasions or experiences several events of other SSIs, the subject will be counted only once in the numerator for the first event

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 ± 4 days

Population: Full Analysis Set: Included Subjects in the ITT Analysis Set that had no important disqualifying protocol deviations, who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and had completed SSI evaluations at visit 5 (Follow-up Day 30). Subjects were analyzed in the arm to which they were treated.

The SSI rate (in %) was calculated for each treatment arm as follows: SSI rate = \[Number of Subjects who experienced SSI\] / \[Number of Subjects Analyzed\] \* 100 Subjects included in the numerator for the SSI rate computation must have experienced an SSI post-surgery up to Day 30 (± 4 days). If a subject has the same SSI event on multiple occasions or experiences several events of other SSIs, the subject will be counted only once in the numerator for the first event
