Overview

Prospective cohort study reports a 10% SSI incidence in emergency abdominal surgery patients, indicating significant risk factors.

Key Points

  • The incidence of surgical site infections after emergency abdominal surgery was found to be 10.0%, highlighting its prevalence.
  • Patients with intestinal obstruction showed a markedly higher SSI rate of 27.5%, compared to 4.9% in others, with a significant p-value of 0.001.
  • This prospective cohort study involved 130 patients over the age of 18, examining various risk factors associated with SSI.
  • Identifying independent risk factors for SSI may help guide interventions to lower infection rates following emergency procedures.
