A power calculation was performed, but the study did not recruit enough participants to meet this threshold and to appropriately measure to main outcome. Rather, the researchers powered it for the secondary outcome (i.e., incidence of delayed pain). Although the authors indicated that it was not feasible to recruit a sufficient number of patients for the primary outcome, this may limit the interpretation of results and conclusion of the study.

What is the clinical effectiveness of skin preparation prior to injections in patients eligible for injections? We are committed to providing you with products and processes that make it easy for you to focus on results... Evidence from the randomized-controlled trial suggested that alcohol swabbing does not reduce local skin reactions prior to vaccination. The study had reasonable attempts at blinding where possible and described the main outcomes, recruitment process and overall results. There were no statistically significant differences between the alcohol swab group and control group for delayed pain, redness, swelling and warmth to touch while there were no reported cases of cellulitis and infectious abscesses. Post-hoc analysis showed that the duration of pain was statistically significantly higher in the alcohol swab group compared to the control group although the clinical significance of this outcome not discussed by the authors. The study was underpowered to detect differences in the primary outcome of skin infection and instead focused on the differences of local skin reaction between groups. Therefore, the study did not answer the primary outcome and a larger sample size is needed to detect whether alcohol swabbing does reduce the risk of infection. While the authors report that this is one of the first studies to report on the effectiveness of alcohol swabbing prior to vaccinations, it is difficult to draw definitive conclusions from a single trial. 8The patients that participated in the study were likely representative of the entire population from which they were recruited Various health organizations including the WHO, 1 United Kingdom’s Department of Health, 4 and Australia’s Department of Health 5 have stated that if the skin is visibly clean, disinfecting the skin (or alcohol swabbing) is not necessary and does not reduce infection. To the contrary, the Public Health Agency of Canada 6 advises the practice of cleaning the skin with a suitable antiseptic solution prior to vaccination or injection. Hence, there is ongoing debate whether the continued use of alcohol swabbing is clinically necessary and effective for routine injections or vaccinations.
