In the base case analysis, it found that NPWT was cost-effective relative to standard dressings in women with a BMI &#x02265;30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> before pregnancy who had a planned or emergency caesarean birth. The point estimates suggested that NPWT dominated standard dressings although neither the differences in costs or QALYs were statistically significant at the 5% level. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis suggested there was a 92.8% probability that NPWT was cost-effective at a willingness to pay threshold of &#x020ac;30,000 per QALY although this may be over-estimated if the decision to extrapolate health state utility gains over 12 months is not valid. However, probabilistic sensitivity analysis also suggested a 65% probability that NPWT was cost saving relative to standard dressings. The authors reported that cost savings were driven by a sub-group of more obese women with BMI &#x02265;35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. This was borne out with sub-group analysis suggesting that NPWT generated cost savings of &#x020ac;339 per woman in this group compared to a cost increase of &#x020ac;155 per woman in those with a BMI &#x0003c;35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>.</p><p>Overall, the results suggest that NPWT may be cost-effective but there is uncertainty (especially with respect to obese women but with a BMI &#x0003c;35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) and the applicability to the UK context is limited.</p><p>See the economic evidence tables in <a href="#niceng192er2.apph">appendix H</a> and economic evidence profiles in <a href="#niceng192er2.appi">appendix I</a>.</p></div><div id="niceng192er2.s1.1.9"><h4>Original economic analysis</h4><p>Ad-hoc cost minimisation and cost-utility analyses were undertaken as a result of a published cost-effectiveness analysis (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref10" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref10">Hyldig 2019</a>) which was not included in the clinical review due to its date of publication as it was a cost-effectiveness analysis conducted alongside one of the included clinical reviews (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref9" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref9">Hyldig 2018</a>). It was thought economic analysis could help inform whether recommendations on NPWT could be stratified by BMI. The analysis is summarised briefly below and described in more detail in <a href="#niceng192er2.appj">appendix J</a>.</p><p>The absolute treatment effect of NPWT compared to standard dressing to prevent surgical site infection, following caesarean birth, was estimated for women with BMI &#x02265; 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> to BMI &#x0003c; 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> and BMI &#x02265; 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>.

However, NPWT was relatively more likely to be cost-effective in women with BMI &#x02265; 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> and the conclusion that it was not cost-effective was somewhat borderline. When compared to standard dressing in this population, NPWT was estimated to have a mean incremental net monetary benefit of &#x02212;&#x000a3;29 and a 30.4% chance of being cost-effective. It was also estimated to result in a mean net cost of &#x000a3;32 and a 28.2% chance that it would be cost saving relative to standard dressing.</p><p>In women with BMI &#x02265; 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> to BMI &#x0003c; 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>, NPWT had a mean incremental net monetary benefit of &#x02212;&#x000a3;74 and a 3.0% probability of being cost-effective when compared to standard dressing.

The committee therefore designated 3 critical outcomes: sepsis, wound infection/surgical site infection and need for antibiotics. These outcomes were selected as the most direct indicators for the efficacy and safety of the different interventions considered to reduce infectious morbidity.</p><p>The committee identified 4 further outcomes as important: endometritis, readmission into hospital, adverse skin events from techniques or interventions, and women&#x02019;s experience. These outcomes were important because endometritis may occur after caesarean birth, readmission may indicate the presence of a wound-related problem, and some of the skin preparations and wound dressings may lead to adverse skin events so including this allowed the benefits and harms of the interventions to be balanced. As post-operative wound problems can have a detrimental impact on quality of life, it was also thought important to include women&#x02019;s experience.</p></div><div id="niceng192er2.s1.1.18.1.2"><h5>The quality of the evidence</h5><p>Twenty-seven RCTs (18 of which were incorporated from 3 previously published systematic reviews) were included in this review. The quality of the evidence ranged from very low to moderate as assessed by GRADE.</p><p>The main reason for downgrading the evidence was the risk of bias due to studies not reporting how randomisation was performed or concealed, or because women, investigators and assessors were aware of treatment allocation. Other reasons for downgrading the quality of the evidence included sponsorship bias, where studies were funded by the manufacturers of the intervention under investigation, or indirectness (as some studies were conducted in low or middle income countries). Additionally, studies were also downgraded because of imprecision, as the trials had few women included, and therefore the confidence intervals around the estimate for each of the outcomes were wide.</p><p>The analysis comparing efficacy of NPWT in different BMI categories was a post-hoc subgrouping of an RCT. As such there is an additional risk of bias as these subgroups did not appear to be pre-specified or stratification that occurred prior to randomisation. However, the thresholds chosen (BMI 30&#x02013;34.9 and 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> or above) were reasonable and therefore the likelihood they were selected to emphasise a certain outcome is limited.</p></div><div id="niceng192er2.s1.1.18.1.3"><h5>Benefits and harms</h5><p>Although the use of prophylactic antibiotics is standard practice for women undergoing caesarean birth, there is still a risk of infection during any surgical procedure. Infections complicate recovery after surgery, may require a protracted hospital stay or intensive monitoring, and can have an important, detrimental effect on the woman&#x02019;s quality of life and emotional state. The committee&#x02019;s priority with these recommendations was to minimise maternal morbidity through the use of specific interventions.</p><p>The committee made the recommendations about choice of skin and vaginal preparation based on the evidence in this report, which suggested that these interventions reduce the risk of surgical site infections and endometritis, respectively.</p><p>Skin preparation for the abdomen is standard practice for a caesarean birth and the evidence indicated that the use of alcohol-based chlorhexidine skin preparation of the abdomen offered an important reduction in wound/surgical site infection compared to iodine skin preparations. The committee noted that this evidence, specific to women undergoing caesarean birth, is also in keeping with the recommendations for the general surgical population, contained in the <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg74" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">NICE guideline on the prevention and treatment of surgical site infections</a>. However, the committee noted that there was no difference in the rates of adverse events, endometritis or readmission between alcohol-based chlorhexidine preparations and iodine preparations, and so suggested that iodine preparations could be used as an alternative if alcohol-based chlorhexidine skin preparations were not available. This hierarchy is also in line with the <a href="https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/cg74" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">NICE guideline on the prevention and treatment of surgical site infections</a>.</p><p>The evidence showed a clinically important reduction in the occurrence of endometritis when antiseptic vaginal preparation (cleansing solution) was used, as compared to no vaginal preparation, or the use of saline only. Aqueous iodine vaginal solutions were shown to result in a clinically important reduction in endometritis, as compared to no preparation/saline preparation. On subgroup analysis according to membrane status, this difference was found to be most marked for women with ruptured membranes. The data regarding aqueous chlorhexidine vaginal preparation were more limited (2 studies), but also demonstrated a clinically important reduction in endometritis with the use of this solution. Therefore the committee decided that it would be appropriate to recommend aqueous iodine solution but to state that aqueous chlorhexidine vaginal preparation could be used as an alternative solution if the woman has allergies to iodine or if an iodine preparation is not available. The evidence for aqueous chlorhexidine vaginal preparation was not specific for women with ruptured membranes.</p><p>The evidence suggested that negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is likely to be effective in reducing wound infections or surgical site infections in women with body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> or more, although the outcome is on the cusp of statistical significance.The committee discussed the evidence relevant for this intervention and noted that the studies were not robust enough to make a strong recommendation in all women with a BMI of 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> or above. The main issues that the committee noted were that 2 different brands of NPWT were used across the studies and, as a result, the negative pressure that women received varied substantially. Five of the included studies (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref5" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref5">Gunatilake 2017</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref8" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref8">Hussamy 2019</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref13" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref13">Ruhstaller 2017</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref17" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref17">Tuuli 2020</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref18" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref18">Wihbey 2018</a>) used the PREVENA negative pressure wound therapy device, applying a negative pressure of 125 mmHg, whereas 2 of the included studies in this comparison (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref2" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref2">Chaboyer 2014</a>, <a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref9" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref9">Hyldig 2018</a>) used the PICO negative pressure wound therapy device, applying a negative pressure of 80 mmHg. Furthermore, some of these studies were funded by the manufacturer of the negative pressure wound therapy device, which introduced a potential risk of bias. The experience of the committee was that, in current practice, NPWT was more commonly used for women with a BMI of 40 kg/m<sup>2</sup> or more, but the inclusion criteria for the studies reviewed was often lower than this. In a health economic analysis of one of the larger trials (<a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref9" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref9">Hyldig 2018</a>), the trial authors reported their results separately for the group of women with a BMI 30&#x02013;34.9 kg/m<sup>2</sup> and those with a BMI of 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> or greater. The direction and point estimate of the effect was similar between the two groups. However, the relative effect was not statistically significant in the BMI 30&#x02013;34.9 kg/m<sup>2</sup> group and the absolute effect was smaller. The results of the economic analysis differed between these groups (see below). There was some inconsistent evidence on adverse skin events occurring with NPWT. Overall there appeared to be no clinically important difference in adverse skin events between NPWT and standard dressing, however in 2 of the larger studies there were far more adverse skin events in the NPWT arm. The committee noted it was difficult to determine the severity of these events and also queried whether the inconsistent results could be due to varying monitoring strategies or inclusion criteria in terms of allergies. Finally the committee also noted the NICE medical technologies guidance (MTG43) about PICO negative pressure wound dressings for closed surgical incisions, which recommended their use for people at high risk of wound infections. Taking all of this into account, the committee agreed that there was sufficient evidence to make a weak recommendation for the use of NPWT in women with a BMI of 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> and above.</p><p>Some limited evidence suggested that there were no clinically important differences in early (6 hours) as compared to standard (24 hours) removal of wound dressings, and that women were more satisfied when the dressing was removed earlier. This was consistent with the committee&#x02019;s experience, and the committee also noted that women included in this study were being treated in an inpatient setting, and their surgical wounds were examined prior to discharge, which would be standard care in the UK. The committee therefore considered that the methods of the study were robust. The previous guideline had recommended that dressings were removed after 24 hours so the committee amended this recommendation to state that dressings could be removed between 6 and 24 hours after the CB. The committee also made a new recommendation to advise women that the evidence showed no differences in the risk of wound infection when the dressing was removed 6 hours or 24 hours postoperatively.</p><p>There was very limited evidence on the use of different types of postoperative dressings. A single study was identified which considered two specific types of dressing. The committee acknowledged that there are many different types available, but could not recommend one dressing over another as there was not enough evidence to support the decision. However, as women may ask about different dressings, the committee made a recommendation to clarify that there was evidence to demonstrate that one type of wound dressing was better at reducing wound infections that another.</p><p>There was some evidence comparing saline intra-abdominal irrigation with no irrigation which found no difference for wound infection or endometritis, and the committee decided that it was not necessary to make any recommendations relating to this intervention.</p><p>Due to the paucity of evidence in the use of hair removal, incise drapes and diathermy, the committee were unable to make specific recommendations regarding these interventions. Instead, they noted the relevant recommendations in the <a href="https://www.bing.com/search?q=cg174&#x00026;src=IE-SearchBox&#x00026;FORM=IENTTR&#x00026;conversationid=" ref="pagearea=body&amp;targetsite=external&amp;targetcat=link&amp;targettype=uri">NICE guideline on surgical site infections: prevention and treatment</a>. These apply to the general population undergoing surgery, rather than specifically to women having a caesarean birth, but were in line with the committee&#x02019;s experience.</p></div><div id="niceng192er2.s1.1.18.1.4"><h5>Cost effectiveness and resource use</h5><p>The committee discussed the three relevant studies that considered the cost-effectiveness of NPWT in obese women (BMI &#x02265; 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) having a caesarean birth.</p><p>The results of <a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref7" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref7">Heard 2017</a> and Tuffaha showed NPWT to be more effective and more costly than standard care. In both studies, the ICER result was interpreted as showing that NPWT is cost-effective (based on an Australian cost-effectiveness threshold). However, there was some uncertainty around the result in both models (largely as a result of uncertainty in the clinical evidence base). The committee also noted that these 2 studies are Australian and are therefore of limited applicability to the UK health care setting.</p><p><a class="bibr" href="#niceng192er2.s1.1.ref10" rid="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref10">Hyldig 2019</a> found NPWT to be dominant when compared to standard dressing but neither the cost saving or QALY benefit were found to be statistically significant. Nevertheless, probabilistic sensitivity analysis suggested there was a 65% probability that NPWT was cost saving. In addition, the committee noted that any cost savings appeared to be driven by the sub-group of women with BMI &#x02265; 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup>.</p><p>The results of an economic study conducted as part of a recent NICE medical technology guidance on NPWT using PICO dressings (MTG43) were also discussed by the committee. The report included a cost analysis submitted by the manufacturer which was subsequently revised by the external assessment centre (EAC). The revised EAC cost analysis showed that, in comparison to standard dressings, PICO dressings resulted in modest cost savings when considering all surgery types. However, this overall result was driven by the large cost savings seen in highly invasive surgery (such as colorectal cancer) and PICO dressings were unlikely to be cost saving when used for surgeries undertaken on healthier patients such as caesarean birth and orthopaedic surgery.</p><p>On the basis of the economic evidence, the committee considered that a weak recommendation to consider NPWT was justified in women with a BMI of 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> or above. An original economic analysis undertaken for this guideline suggested that although unlikely on the balance of probabilities, NPWT might be cost saving in this population due to a reduced incidence of surgical site infections when compared to standard dressings. The committee also thought that this was reflective of NHS practice where NPWT following caesarean birth would normally be reserved for this population. The committee also considered that this analysis finding was consistent with the MTG43 view that cost savings were more likely in less healthy patients. The committee agreed that no recommendation to consider NPWT in women with a BMI &#x02265; 30 kg/m<sup>2</sup> to BMI &#x0003c; 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> was warranted from the economic evidence presented.</p><p>The committee identified that considering the use of NPWT in women with a BMI of 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> or above having a caesarean birth, will be a change of practice for many units, who currently do not use it all at or who may use it at higher BMI thresholds, and may have resource implications, particularly in areas where a higher proportion of pregnant women will meet this criterion.</p></div></div></div><div id="niceng192er2.rl.r1"><h4>References</h4><ul class="simple-list"><li class="half_rhythm"><p><div class="bk_ref" id="niceng192er2.s1.1.ref1"><p id="p-257">
