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

Abstract Surgical site infections remain a prominent cause of hospital-acquired infection and are responsible for increased morbidity and mortality and considerable cost. Recommendations for strategies to reduce the rate of surgical site infections have been made by many over the years. In 2016, the World Health Organization published a robust set of

Surgical site infections (SSIs) lead to adverse patient outcomes, including prolonged hospitalization and death. Wound contamination occurs with each incision, but proven strategies exist to decrease the risk of SSIs. In particular, improved adherence to evidence-based preventative measures related to appropriate antimicrobial prophylaxis can decrease ...

Abstract Surgical-site infection (SSI) is the most common healthcare-associated infection (HCAI). Between 5 and 10% of patients undergoing surgery are estimated to develop an SSI with an associated increased length of stay and increase in morbidity and mortality.

Surgical site infections in the NICU
Journal of Pediatric Surgery, 2016Surgical site infections (SSI) increase morbidity and mortality. In adult and pediatric populations, the incidence ranges from 1.5-12%. Studies in neonates have shown an association between preoperative stay in an intensive care unit and development of SSI. To date, there has only been a single study looking exclusively at SSI in the Neonatal Intensive

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.

Management of Surgical Site Infections
Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, 2020The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons has developed Appropriate Use Criteria for the Management of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) (website: http://www.orthoguidelines.org/go/auc/default.cfm?auc_id=225018&actionxm=Terms). Evidence-based information, in conjunction with the clinical expertise of physicians, was used to develop the criteria to

Prevention of surgical site infections
Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 2006In the current era of pay-for-performance standards, the incidence of surgical site infections is increasingly becoming an institutional marker of quality assurance. Surgical site infections lead to increased morbidity and mortality in the surgical population and contribute to an already rising healthcare cost.

Surgical site infections and their prevention
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2012Recent studies have assessed interventions and bundles of interventions to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs). We reviewed numerous studies to identify those with the strongest evidence supporting interventions for preventing SSIs.Bundles that included more than one intervention to decrease the risk of Staphylococcus aureus wound contamination ...

Surgical Site Infections in Gynecology
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 2014Surgical site infections (SSIs) are preventable, yet nearly 2% of all surgical cases are complicated by an SSI. Each SSI increases the cost of a postoperative hospital stay by more than $10,000. Thus, SSI prevention has become the focus of health care systems and hospitals because it is a reducible health care cost.The objective of this review was to ...
