Analysis of surgical site infection rate in pancreas operation and its related risk factors / 中国医学科学院学报

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the surgical site infection (SSI) rate of pancreas operation and its related risk factors.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>We retrospectively analyzed sex, age, hospitalization time before operation, wound class, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status score, and operation time in 196 patients after pancreas operation.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>SSI occurred in 14 patients (7.1%). The sex, age, hospitalization time before operation, wound class, and ASA score had no significant difference between SSI group and non-SSI group (P>0.05), while statistically significant difference was found in the term of operation time (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Operation time is a significant risk factor of SSI. There were no any relations between hospitalization time before operation, wound class, and ASA score.</p>
