ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Despite prophylactic preoperative managements, surgical site infection (SSI) still has a significant influence on the mortality and morbidity of surgical patients because of an increased number of immunocompromised patients, prolonged anesthesia or an increased use of various operative equipments. In the end, it leads to an increase in hospital days and medical expenses. Therefore, we tried to find out significant risk factors for SSI in a general hospital.METHODS:
The study was carried out on the 1,239 patients who underwent a surgical operation in a general hospital, and the incidence rate and risk factors of SSI were analyzed.RESULTS:
Among the 1,239 patients, 33 (2.7%) had SSI and the incidence rate was 26.6 per 1,000 person. Of these, 27 (81.8%) and 6 (18.2%) developed an infection before and after discharge, respectively. The influencing factors of SSI were the dirty wound, the frequency of re-operation, the duration of preoperative hospitalization, and the duration of the operation. The most common pathogen isolated from the surgical site was Staphylococcus aureus (27.2%).CONCLUSION:
To prevent SSI, a professional group must be established to manage surgical sites and wounds, and the patients should be covered by strict standardized knowledge and guidance.
