Timing of Cefuroxime Surgical Antimicrobial Prophylaxis and Its Association With Surgical Site Infections

This cohort study assesses whether the timing of the administration of cefuroxime surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis prior to incision is associated with the occurrence of surgical site infections.
