Abstract Background Globally, surgical site infections are the most reported healthcare-associated infection and common surgical complication. In developing countries such as Ethiopia, there is a paucity of published reports on the microbiologic profile and resistance patterns of an isolates. Objective This study aimed at assessing the bacterial profile and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of isolates among patients diagnosed with surgical site infection at Jimma Medical Center in Ethiopia. Methods A prospective cohort study was employed among adult patients who underwent either elective or emergency surgical procedures. All the eligible patients were followed for 30 days for the occurrence of surgical site infection (SSI). From those who developed SSI, infected wound specimens were collected and studied bacteriologically. Results Of 251 study participants, 126 (50.2%) of them were females. The mean ± SD age of the patients was 38 ± 16.30 years. The overall postoperative surgical site infection rate was 21.1% and of these 71.7% (38/53) were culture positive. On gram stain analysis, 78% of them were Gram-negative, 11.5% were Gram-positive and 10.5% were a mixture of two microbial growths. Escherichia coli accounted for (21.43%), followed by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (19.05%), Proteus species (spp.) 14.29%), Staphylococcus aureus (11.90%), Klebsiella species (11.90%), Citrobacter spp. (9.5%), streptococcal spp. (7.14%), Coagulase-negative S. aureus (CoNS) (2.38%) Conclusion Gram-negative bacteria were the most dominant isolates from surgical sites in the study area. Among the Gram-negative bacilli, Escherichia coli were the most common bacteria causing surgical site infection. As there is high antibiotic resistance observed in the current study, it is necessary for routine microbial analysis of samples and their antibiogram.

Risk Stratification Score

Abstract Background: Organ/space surgical site infection (organ/space SSI) is one of the serious postoperative complications, closely related to a poor prognosis. Few studies have attempted to design risk scoring systems for patients with digestive system cancer. This study aimed to develop a simple and practical risk stratification score for these patients to identify a priori risk of organ/space SSI.Methods: This prospective cohort study was based on two prospective studies (NCT02756910, ChiCTR-IPR-17011099), including patients undergoing elective radical resection of digestive system cancer. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the determinant variables. The incidence of organ/space SSI stratified over perioperative factors was compared and compounded in a risk score.Results: Among the 839 patients, 51 developed organ/space SSI (6.1%) within 30 days after surgery. Patients undergoing gastrectomy (OR=8.466, 95% CI: 2.728-26.270, P<0.001), colorectal resection (OR=11.180, 95% CI: 3.921-31.881, P<0.001) and pancreatoduodenectomy (OR=9.054, 95% CI: 3.329-24.624, P<0.001) with an anaesthesia time > 4 h (OR=2.335, 95% CI: 1.035-5.271, P=0.041) and prolonged intensive care unit (ICU) stays > 24 h (OR=4.243, 95% CI: 1.715-10.498, P=0.002) had a significantly higher risk of organ/space SSI. These risk factors (procedure type, anaesthesia time, prolonged ICU stays) were also associated with an increase in organ/space SSI rates based on a compounded score (P<0.001). Comparisons with the overall population revealed that patients with 0 or 1 risk factor (n=602) had an organ/space SSI rate of 2.8% (RR=0.197, 95% CI: 0.112-0.345), those with 2 risk factors (n=223) had an organ/space SSI rate of 13.0% (RR=3.641; 95% CI: 2.138-6.202), and those with 3 risk factors (n=14) had an organ/space SSI rate of 35.7% (RR=6.405, 95% CI: 3.005-13.653).Conclusion: The risk stratification score in this study provides a simple and practical tool to stratify patients with digestive system cancer so that the relative risk of developing postoperative organ/space SSIs can be predicted.Trial Registration: This study was based on one randomized controlled trial (NCT02756910) registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on April 29, 2016 and one prospective cohort study (ChiCTR-IPR-17011099) registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on April 9, 2017.
