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 ...

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 ...

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

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2011
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 ...

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.

Prevention of Surgical Site Infection
Surgical Clinics of North America, 2009Surgical site infections are a frequent cause of morbidity following surgical procedures. Gram-positive cocci, particularly staphylococci, cause many of these infections, although gram-negative organisms are also frequently involved. The risk of developing a surgical site infection is associated with a number of factors, including aspects of the ...

Surgical Site Infection Prevention
JAMA, 2023ImportanceApproximately 0.5% to 3% of patients undergoing surgery will experience infection at or adjacent to the surgical incision site. Compared with patients undergoing surgery who do not have a surgical site infection, those with a surgical site infection are hospitalized approximately 7 to 11 days longer.ObservationsMost surgical site infections ...

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: The Cutting Edge
Infectious Diseases in Clinical Practice, 1998Surgical site infections are common and many are preventable. It is critical to understand the factors that influence these infections in order to create appropriate strategies to reduce this risk. Recent developments in this area and recommendations are presented.
