Results

Two hundred patients who underwent gastric ESD were randomized to antibiotic (ampicillin-sulbactam) and non-antibiotic groups. The incidence of PECS was significantly lower in the antibiotic group (41.3% vs 57.3%, p=0.031). However, tumor location differed, and after adjustment the effect was not significant (adjusted OR 0.64, p=0.15). WBC change on POD1 was lower in the antibiotic group, while CRP and recovery were similar. One mild diarrhea case resolved spontaneously. No clear benefit was shown.

Baseline Characteristics

The per-protocol population consisted of 181 patients (92 in the antibiotic group and 89 in the non-antibiotic group).
Baseline characteristics, including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), preoperative inflammatory markers (CRP and WBC), tumor size, macroscopic type, and ulcerative findings, were generally well balanced between groups.
However, tumor location differed significantly, with upper-third gastric lesions being more frequent in the non-antibiotic group (U/M/L = 24/42/23 vs. 7/61/24, p = 0.002).

Participant flow

Of 237 patients assessed for eligibility, 37 were excluded due to refusal to participate or ineligibility, leaving 200 patients who were randomized equally to the antibiotic group (n = 100) and the non-antibiotic group (n = 100).
After exclusions for post-randomization ineligibility and protocol deviations, 97 and 94 patients were included in the full analysis set, and 92 and 89 patients in the per-protocol set for the antibiotic and non-antibiotic groups, respectively.

Adverse events

One case of mild diarrhea was observed in the antibiotic group, which resolved spontaneously after completion of antibiotic therapy.
No serious adverse events, including drug-related rashes, were observed in either group.

Outcome measures

Primary Outcome:
The primary outcome was the incidence of post-ESD coagulation syndrome (PECS), defined as the presence of any of the following on postoperative day 1 without perforation or pneumonia: fever >=37.6C, abdominal pain (VAS >=5/10), white blood cell count >=10000/uL, or C-reactive protein (CRP) >=0.5 mg/dL.
Secondary Outcomes:
Changes in WBC and CRP levels, postoperative pain (VAS), time to oral intake, length of hospital stay, and incidence of adverse events.

Plan to share IPD

There is no plan to share individual participant data (IPD).
Only anonymized, aggregated data will be disclosed through conference presentations and journal publications.
