Aim: To determine whether short postoperative antibiotic treatment has a greater risk of intra-abdominal infections than long postoperative antibiotic treatment in adults with complicated acute appendicitis. Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed. A search for studies was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, OVID, Scopus and EMBASE; A total of 107 records were found, 15 full-text articles were examined, and 10 articles were included in the systematic review. The main and secondary outcomes were measured through a RR with a 95% CI. Results: The overall events and overall sample size per short treatment and long treatment group were 72/786 and 143/1506, respectively. The diamond crossed the line of no effect with a RR= 1.11 95% CI (0.71 – 1.73) p=0.11, denoting that there is no significant association. Conclusion Short postoperative antibiotic treatment has a tendency to increase the risk of intra-abdominal infections, compared to long postoperative antibiotic treatment in adults with complicated acute appendicitis; however, the difference was not statistically significant. (RR= 1.11 95% CI (0.71 – 1.73) p=0.11
