Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most common and most costly health care-associated infections, leading to adverse patient outcomes and death. Wound contamination occurs with each incision, but proven strategies exist to decrease the risk of SSI. In particular, improved adherence to evidence-based preventive measures related to appropriate

Acta Clinica Belgica, 1998
The New CDC-definitions for surveillance of surgical site infections (1992) take into account 3 classes of surgical site infections (SSI): superficial and deep incisional SSI, and organ/space SSI. The most important host-related risk factors for development of SSI are advanced age, morbid obesity, disease severity, an ASA score > 2, prolonged ...

Staphylococcal Surgical Site Infections
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2009Staphylococcus aureus is the leading cause of surgical site infections (SSI) in the United States. In particular, SSI caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has emerged as a devastating complication, leading to increased mortality rates, increased length of hospitalization, and increased costs.

Preventing surgical site infections
Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2010The risk of surgical site infection (SSI) is approximately 1-3% for elective clean surgery. Apart from patient endogenous factors, the role of external risk factors in the pathogenesis of SSI is well recognized. However, among the many measures to prevent SSI, only some are based on strong evidence, for example, adequate perioperative administration of

Surgical site infection surveillance
Journal of Hospital Infection, 2000Surgical site infection (SSI) is the third most commonly reported nosocomial infection and accounts for 14-16% of all nosocomial infections among hospital inpatients. A successful SSI surveillance programme includes standardized definitions of infection, effective surveillance methods and stratification of the SSI rates according to risk factors ...

Surgical Site Infections after Thyroidectomy
Surgical Infections, 2006The history of thyroid surgery starts with Billroth, Kocher, and Halsted, who developed techniques for thyroidectomy between 1873 and 1910. Before 1950, the operative mortality rate approached 50%. The advent of general anesthesia and antisepsis and the development of fine hemostatic instruments rendered thyroid surgery safer, but the potential ...
