    "abstract": "To examine surgical site infection rates before and after the addition of a closing protocol to an existing surgical site infection risk-reduction bundle used during cesarean delivery.\nWe conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study to review the association of a closing protocol with rates of surgical site infection after cesarean delivery. The closing protocol included fresh surgical instruments and physician and scrub nurse glove change before fascia closure. Surgical site infections were defined using Centers for Disease Control and Prevention criteria. Eligible patients underwent cesarean delivery at our institution from July 1, 2013, through December 31, 2015 (n=1,708; preimplementation group), or from June 1, 2016, through April 30, 2018 (n=1,228; postimplementation group).\nThe surgical site infection rate was 2.3% preimplementation and 2.7% postimplementation (difference 0.4%, 95% CI -1.6 to 0.7%]. The mean [SD] duration of the surgical procedure was longer postimplementation (59.6 [23.7] vs 55.6 [21.5] minutes; P<.001).\nAddition of a closing tray and glove change to our existing surgical site infection risk-reduction bundle was not associated with a reduction in the frequency of postcesarean surgical site infection but was associated with longer operating times.",
