The effect of preoperative smoking and smoke cessation on wound healing and infection in post‐surgery subjects: A meta‐analysis

In post-surgery subjects, statistical software based on the dichotomous method was employed within a random or set-influence model to determine the effect of preoperative smoking and smoke cessation on wound healing and infection. Compared to smokers in post-surgery studies, smokers in cessation or non-smokers had significantly reduced postoperative wound healing and surgical site wound infection, as well as surgical site wound infection. Compared to smokers in post-surgery studies, smokers with cessation or non-smokers had significantly reduced postoperative wound healing times, and surgical site wound infection.
