We analyze the infectious complications among a large cohort of EETS patients undergoing a standardized regimen of cefazolin for 24\u2009hours, followed by cephalexin for 7 days after surgery (clindamycin if penicillin\/cephalosporin allergic).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Methods\u2003A retrospective review of 132 EETS patients from 2018 to 2020 was conducted. Patient, tumor, and surgical characteristics were collected, along with infection rates. Multivariate logistic regression determined the variable(s) independently associated with infectious outcomes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003Nearly all patients (99%) received postoperative antibiotics with 78% receiving cefazolin, 17% receiving cephalexin, 3% receiving clindamycin, and 2% receiving other antibiotics. Fifty-three patients (40%) had an intraoperative cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leak, and three patients (2%) developed a postoperative CSF leak requiring surgical repair. Within 30 days, no patients developed meningitis. Five patients (4%) developed sinusitis, two patients (3%) developed pneumonia, and one patient (1%) developed cellulitis at a peripheral intravenous line. Two patients (2%) developed an allergy to cephalexin, requiring conservative management. After adjustment for comorbidities and operative factors, presence of postoperative infectious complications was independently associated with increased LOS (\u03b2\u2009=\u20093.7 days; p\u2009=\u20090.001).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Compared with reported findings in the literature, we report low rates of infectious complications and antibiotic intolerance, despite presence of a heavy burden of comorbidities and high intraoperative CSF leak rates among our cohort. These findings support our standardized 7-day perioperative antibiotic regimen.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1736409","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,10,11]],"date-time":"2021-10-11T22:54:55Z","timestamp":1633992895000},"page":"390-396","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Perioperative
