For planned cesarean deliveries, cefazolin showed better infection prevention than clindamycin plus gentamicin.
In planned cesarean deliveries, cefazolin demonstrates superior infection prevention compared with clindamycin plus gentamicin, with significantly lower rates of inpatient antibiotic use and readmissions .
Researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study at a university-affiliated tertiary medical center between 2012 and 2023, including women undergoing planned cesarean delivery. Analysis included 11,246 eligible women with 10,588 receiving cefazolin and 658 receiving clindamycin plus gentamicin because of severe penicillin or cephalosporin allergies. Prophylactic antibiotics were administered within 30 minutes before incision with cefazolin dosing at 2 g and the alternative regimen consisting of clindamycin 600 mg plus gentamycin 5 mg/kg. Primary outcome measures included the need for inpatient antibiotic treatment, and secondary outcomes included readmission for obstetric or gynecologic complications.Infectious complications occurred less frequently in the cefazolin group with inpatient antibiotic treatment rates of 5.9% compared with 15.2% in the clindamycin plus gentamicin group .
