This study compared iNPWT with standard gauze dressings to determine the effects on SSI incidence and quality of life.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Patients undergoing infrainguinal vascular surgery were recruited to a regional randomized clinical trial. All patients had a groin incision for either thromboendarterectomy only with a vein or synthetic patch or hybrid procedures with thromboendarterectomy and concurrent endovascular treatment. The control and intervention groups received sterile gauze and iNPWT dressings, respectively. The primary endpoint was the incidence of SSIs within 30 days, measured using the Additional treatment, Serous discharge, Erythema, Purulent exudates, Separation of the deep tissues, Isolation of bacteria and inpatient Stay (ASEPSIS) scoring protocol. Secondary endpoints were scores on the Wound Quality of Life and EQ-5D\u2122 three-level (EQ-5D-3L\u2122) questionnaires.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Of the 123 patients randomized, 109 (89%) completed the study. The incidence of SSI was similar in the intervention and control groups (15% versus 25%, respectively; P = 0.340), but was higher in patients with a body mass index (BMI) \u2265 25 kg\/m2 than in those with a BMI &amp;lt; 25 kg\/m2 (52% versus 21%, respectively). Wound Quality of Life mean scores were similar in the control and intervention groups (10.60 versus 12.85, respectively; P = 0.322); however, the intervention group reported a larger negative impact on everyday life than the control group (7.40 versus 4.91 for the everyday life domain, respectively; P = 0.048). There were no significant differences between the two groups in EQ-5D-3L\u2122 scores.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The similar distribution of SSIs regardless of the type of wound dressing, in addition to the negative impact on everyday life, does not support the general use of iNPWT in this or similar patient cohorts. The unique aspect of this trial is the patient perspective on the use of iNPWT, revealing a divergence between the views of patients and healthcare providers regarding optimal wound care. In the setting of individualized care, there may be a place for iNPWT in selected patients with a high BMI and excessive perioperative bleeding, which are associated with a higher SSI risk.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Registration number<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>NCT03395613 (https:\/\/clinicaltrials.gov).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1093\/bjsopen\/zraf059","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,12]],"date-time":"2025-06-12T02:25:22Z","timestamp":1749695122000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Prophylactic use of incisional negative pressure wound therapy for groin incisions in vascular surgery: randomized clinical trial"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Alireza","family":"Daryapeyma","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet , Stockholm ,","place":["Sweden"]},{"name":"Department of Vascular surgery, Karolinska University Hospital , Stockholm ,","place":["Sweden"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7670-1677","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Olga","family":"Nilsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet , Stockholm ,","place":["Sweden"]},{"name":"Department of Vascular surgery, Karolinska University Hospital , Stockholm ,","place":["Sweden"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jennifer","family":"Pettersson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Liljeholmen University Primary Health Care Centre , Stockholm ,","place":["Sweden"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5748-9113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Otto","family":"Stackelberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Science and Education, S\u00f6dersjukhuset, Karolinska Institutet , Stockholm ,","place":["Sweden"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0720-4981","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eva","family":"Torbj\u00f6rnsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Science and Education, S\u00f6dersjukhuset, Karolinska Institutet , Stockholm ,","place":["Sweden"]},{"name":"Department of Surgery, Stockholm South General Hospital , Stockholm ,","place":["Sweden"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8869-0493","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rebecka","family":"Hultgren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Medicine and Surgery, Karolinska Institutet , Stockholm ,","place":["Sweden"]},{"name":"Department of Vascular surgery, Karolinska University Hospital , Stockholm ,","place":["Sweden"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025061122251913700_zraf059-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"122","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2009.08.006","article-title":"Infectious complications after elective vascular surgical procedures","volume":"51","author":"Vogel","year":"2010","journal-title":"J Vasc Surg"},{"key":"2025061122251913700_zraf059-B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"378","DOI":"10.1016\/S0039-6060(96)80135-8","article-title":"Prospective study of wound complications in continuous infrainguinal incisions after lower limb arterial reconstruction: incidence, risk factors, and cost","volume":"119","author":"Kent","year":"1996","journal-title":"Surgery"},{"key":"2025061122251913700_zraf059-B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"387","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajic.2008.12.010","article-title":"Surgical site infection: incidence and impact on hospital utilization and treatment costs","volume":"37","author":"de Lissovoy","year":"2009","journal-title":"Am J Infect Control"},{"key":"2025061122251913700_zraf059-B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"53","DOI":"10.1016\/j.avsg.2013.08.002","article-title":"Surgical site infections after lower extremity revascularization procedures involving groin incisions","volume":"28","author":"Kuy","year":"2014","journal-title":"Ann Vasc Surg"},{"key":"2025061122251913700_zraf059-B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"97","DOI":"10.1016\/S0196-6553(99)70088-X","article-title":"Guideline for prevention of surgical site infection, 1999.
