Study aim
-
Determining the effect of preoperative vitamin D consumption on surgical site infection in gynecological surgeries
-
Design
-
A clinical trial with a control group, with parallel groups, double-blind, randomized, phase 3 on 220 patients, using the randomized block method using sealed envelope software.
-
Settings and conduct
-
Double-blind clinical trial, study population: patients who refer to educational and treatment centers in Kashan and Beheshti who are candidates for elective gynecological surgeries such as (hysterectomy, ovarian cyst, oophorectomy and cancers).
-
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
-
Candidate patients for elective gynecological surgeries (hysterectomy, caesarean section, oophorectomy and ovarian cyst, cancer)
Women over 18 years old and under 80 years old
Willingness of patients to participate in research
Not receiving corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs
Unwillingness to continue participating in the study
Patients with serum vitamin D levels below 30 and above 70 ng
Patients who need re-surgery for medical reasons (bleeding, unsuccessful first surgery, etc.)
laparoscopic surgeries or emergency surgeries (only open elective surgeries are considered)
-
Intervention groups
-
In the intervention group, in addition to routine care before and after surgery, they received 2 tablets of 50,000 units of vitamin D (one tablet every week), and in the control group, patients received a placebo in addition to routine care before and after surgery for the purpose of blinding the study. will have no therapeutic effect on the patient. In all patients undergoing surgery, the serum level of vitamin D will be recorded and analyzed before and after surgery.

Main outcome variables
