The government publishes 3 different public report surgical site infection (SSI) metrics, all called standardized infection ratios (SIRs), that impact perceived hospital quality. We conducted a non-random cross-sectional observational pilot study of 20 California hospitals that voluntarily submitted colon surgery and SSI data. Discordant SIR values, leading to contradictory conclusions, occurred in 35% of these hospitals.Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol2016;1–5

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the profile of women in relation to their living conditions, health status and socio-demographic profile, correlating it with the presence of signs and symptoms suggestive of post-cesarean surgical site infection, identifying information to be considered in the puerperium consultation performed by nurses and proposing a roadmap for the systematization of care. Method: Quantitative, exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective review of medical records of women who had cesarean deliveries in 2014, in the city of São Paulo. Results: 89 medical records were analyzed, 62 of them with incomplete information. In 11, there was at least one of the signs and symptoms suggestive of infection. Conclusion: Given the results of the study, the systematization of puerperal consultation is essential. The roadmap is an instrument that can potentially improve the quality of service and the recording of information.

<p>Introducción: La infección de sitio quirúrgico (ISQ) es la infección intrahospitalaria más frecuente en los pacientes quirúrgicos con una incidencia entre 5-30%. Objetivos: Identificar los factores de riesgo para ISQ en cirugía colónica en nuestra población. Los objetivos secundarios son determinar la incidencia y tipo de ISQ, así como la incidencia de dehiscencia de anastomosis (DA). Materiales y métodos: Estudio de casos-controles de pacientes intervenidos de colectomía entre 2010-2014 en el Hospital Privado Universitario de Córdoba y Hospital Raúl Ferreyra. Se incluyeron las intervenciones convencionales y laparoscópicas, con seguimiento de 30 días, pacientes entre 20 y 85 años y con ASA I-III. Se excluyeron las cirugías de urgencia y las resecciones recto-anales. Se definió ISQ a aquella que ocurre dentro de 30 días. Resultados: Se incluyeron 238 pacientes. Se diagnosticó ISQ en 27,7% (n=66) de los pacientes de los cuales 12,2% fue superficial, 4,6% profunda y 10,9% de órgano/espacio. El análisis multivariado demostró que la ISQ se asocia con sexo masculino (odds ratio [OR] 3,15; IC95%:1,43-6,92; p=0,004), quimioterapia neoadyuvante (OR 6,72; IC95%:1,48-30,93; p=0,01), conversión (OR 3,32; IC95%:1,13-9,77; p=0,02), reintervención dentro de 30 días postquirúrgicos (OR 12,34; IC95%:2,65-57,37, p=0,001) y DA (OR 12,83; IC95%:2,97- 55,5; p=0,001). La DA presenta una incidencia del 9,6%, de los cuales el 91% presentó ISQ y todas fueron de órgano/espacio. Conclusión: Sexo masculino, quimioterapia neoadyuvante, conversión, reintervención dentro de 30 días postquirúrgicos y DA son factores de riesgo para ISQ en nuestra población. Estos resultados deben ser considerados para implementar medidas preventivas para ISQ.</p>

The Relationship

Surgical Site Infection is infections that occur after surgery. Control of the incidence of nosocomial infection is part of the parameters of good health services at the hospital. One in 10 mothers who give birth by cesarean has an infection. The level of patient knowledge about how to care for wounds is an important factor in decreasing the incidence of wound infection in the surgical area in SC patients. Objective: knowing the relationship between levels of knowledge of post-operative SC patients about wound care and the incidence of surgical site wound infections. Method: The design used descriptive correlative and cross sectional approach. The sample were 76 respondents. The data were collected in December 2019 by using a knowledge level questionnaire and a form of signs of infection from Morison 2004. Data analysis using chi square).  The results showed that there was a relationship between knowledge and the incidence of infection in the area of ​​operation (p value 0.001).  Keywords: nosocomial, surgical site infection (SSI), section caesarea (SC)

Objective: Description of knowledge on prevention of surgical site infections (SSIs) among medical staff in Son Tay general hospital, 2021 and some related factors.Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 151 medical staff.Results: The rate of medical staff with fully knowledge of SSI prevention is 36.42%, in which the rate of doctors is 38.3% and of nurses is 35.58%. Age group ≥30 (OR=2.82; 95%CI: 1.12 – 7.13);Department of Surgery (OR=13.61; 95%CI: 5.14 – 35.98); working year ≥10 (OR=2.54; 95%CI: 1.26 – 5.11) and number of patients cared for/day <8 (OR=3.43; 95%CI: 1.26 – 9 ,34) are factorsrelated to the knowledge of medical staff about regarding SSIs.Conclusion: The medical staff’s knowledge of surgical site infection prevention is suboptimal; relevant factors should be considered when conducting ongoing training in the prevention of surgical site infections in hospitals.

Background: Appendectomy is the most commonly performed emergency  surgical procedure and has significant morbidity of surgical site infection (SSIs). Regarding this, there are conflicting reports and dilemma on use of optimal duration of antibiotics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of SSIs after three doses of perioperative prophylactic antibiot­ics (single dose before surgery and two doses postoperatively) after ap­pendectomy in acute non- perforated appendicitis (NPA). Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted in the department of General surgery, Chitwan Medical College Teaching Hospital, from May 2018 to April 2019. All the cases received single dose of antibiotics (cef­triaxone and metronidazole) during the induction of anesthesia and two doses of the same antibiotics postoperatively within 24 hours. SSIs was assessed on 2nd and followed up till 7th postoperative day. The data col­lected was analyzed using SPSS version 16. Results: In the study of 100 patients, who received perioperative three doses of antibiotics, the overall frequency of SSIs on 2nd and 3rd post-operative day were 2% (p=.840) and 6% (p=.539) respectively, which was statistically not significant. In follow up after 3rd postoperative day, there was no evidence of SSIs. Statistically there was no significant difference in the incidence and grade of SSIs between age group, sex and duration of operation. Conclusions: A combined three doses of perioperative antibiotics was ad­equate for SSIs prevention in patients of any age group and sex with acute NPA after appendectomy in usual operative time.

Abstract Purposes Surgical site infection (SSI) after colorectal surgery is a frequent complication associated with the increase in morbidity, medical expenses, and mortality. To date, there is no nationwide large-scale database of SSI after colorectal surgery in China. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of SSI after colorectal surgery in China and to further evaluate the related risk factors. Methods Two multicenter, prospective, cross-sectional studies covering 55 hospitals in China and enrolling adult patients undergoing colorectal surgery were conducted from May 1 to June 30 of 2018 and the same time of 2019. The demographic and perioperative characteristics were collected, and the main outcome was SSI within postoperative 30 days. Multivariable logistic regressions were conducted to predict risk factors of SSI after colorectal surgery. Results In total, 1046 patients were enrolled and SSI occurred in 74 patients (7.1%). In the multivariate analysis with adjustments, significant factors associated with SSI were the prior diagnosis of hypertension (OR, 1.903; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.088–3.327, P = 0.025), national nosocomial infection surveillance risk index score of 2 or 3 (OR, 3.840; 95% CI, 1.926–7.658, P < 0.001), laparoscopic or robotic surgery (OR, 0.363; 95% CI, 0.200–0.659, P < 0.001), and adhesive incise drapes (OR, 0.400; 95% CI, 0.187–0.855, P = 0.018). In addition, SSI group had remarkably increased length of postoperative stays (median, 15.0 d versus 9.0d, P < 0.001), medical expenses (median, 74,620 yuan versus 57,827 yuan, P < 0.001), and the mortality (4.1% versus 0.3%, P = 0.006), compared with those of non-SSI group. Conclusion This study provides the newest data of SSI after colorectal surgery in China and finds some predictors of SSI. The data presented in our study can be a tool to develop optimal preventive measures and improve surgical quality in China.
