Extra antibiotic before hysterectomy to prevent infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving extra antibiotic (azithromycin) before hysterectomy can lower the chance of infections after surgery. You might benefit by helping prevent post-surgery infection, but it also depends on your allergy history and heart rhythm risks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a hysterectomy for a non-cancer (benign) reason at one of the study hospitals in Finland.
- You do not have an allergy to azithromycin or cefuroxime (another antibiotic).
- You can understand the study instructions and follow the study plan.
- Your heart rhythm result (ECG, including “QT interval” measurements) must not be abnormally prolonged.
- You are not taking certain medicines that can affect heart rhythm (listed anti-arrhythmia medicines and some QT-prolonging drugs, and SSRIs if QT is prolonged).

This study tests whether taking the antibiotic azithromycin before getting a cervical stitch (cerclage) helps prevent infections and improves pregnancy outcomes. If you're already scheduled for a cerclage, this could help protect you and your baby.
This study tests whether giving the antibiotic azithromycin before starting labor can help prevent infections in mothers. It is for pregnant women who will have their labor induced for medical reasons or after 39 weeks.
This study tests different ways to give antibiotics before open-heart surgery to see which works best at preventing infections. If you are having open-heart surgery, you may be able to join and help improve care for future patients.
This study looks at how long patients should receive an antibiotic after certain types of heart surgery, to help prevent infections. It may help find the best “duration” of antibiotic prophylaxis after surgery through the breastbone (median sternotomy).
This study looks at whether taking probiotics alongside antibiotics before and after surgery can help keep your gut bacteria healthy. It is for healthy adults having minor orthopedic surgery, like carpal tunnel or knee arthroscopy.
