Although highly statistically significant, the clinical relevance of the observed 2 ∑8% absolute reduction in SSIs is unclear. The number needed to treat (NNT) to avoid one SSI is 36, which might not justify the intervention. Most incisional SSIs are superficial2 and easily treated with bedside drainage, causing minimal morbidity.

The deep fascia is where our network identified clinical equipoise and the highest likelihood of a clinically meaningful effect. Since we are unable to comment on the effectiveness of triclosan-coated skin sutures (which are a different product to that used to close the fascia), these could influence minor superficial infections, warranting further investigation.
