Clinical Impact of Prophylactic Antibiotic Treatment for Self-Expandable Metallic Stent Insertion in Patients with Malignant Colorectal Obstruction

Table 4

Outcome of propensity score-matched post-SEMS insertion fever, SIRS, and bacteremia between PA and non-PA groups.

Characteristics	PA group ( = 51)	Non-PA group ( = 51)	Odds ratio; (95% CI)	value
Fever	2 (3.9%)	5 (9.8%)	0.376 (0.690–2.032)	0.436
Bacteremia	3 (5.9%)	1 (2.0%)	3.125 (0.314–31.094)	0.617
SIRS	7 (13.7%)	3 (5.9%)	2.545 (0.620–10.458)	0.318

SEMS, self-expandable metallic stent; PA, prophylactic antibiotic; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; SIRS, systemic inflammatory response syndrome.
