PROJECT PREVENT: a randomized controlled trial of preoperative vaginal metronidazole to decrease patient issues and infections after hysterectomy by Tana Pradhan, Helen Zhang, Amanda Kadesh, Ama Buskwofie, Sonali Patankar, Sharifa Menon, Timothy Ryntz, Cara L. Grimes

“…Objectives To evaluate if vaginal metronidazole for 5 days before hysterectomy decreases postoperative infections and patient issues.Design This randomized trial compared vaginal metronidazole for 5 days before a scheduled hysterectomy to no intervention. Sample size calculation was based on a 20% difference in issues and infection (30% incidence and 10% in the intervention arm) with 80% power and an alpha error of 0.05 and indicated 62 subjects needed in each arm.Setting Outpatient gynecology clinics at a single academic institution.Participants 154 subjects were screened for eligibility between July 2020 and September 2022. 133 underwent hysterectomy including 68 subjects (51.1%) randomized to the metronidazole and 65 (48.9%) controls. …”
