Overview

Prospective observational study revealed higher SSI rates using ASEPSIS, highlighting additional outpatient costs.

Key Points

  • Over 11% of patients developed surgical site infections, indicating significant postoperative complications.
  • Dual surveillance increased identified wound complications from 11.7% to 17.6%, underscoring the importance of ASEPSIS scores.
  • Patients with SSIs experienced longer hospital stays of about 15.6 days, contributing to elevated healthcare costs.
  • Finding clinically relevant disturbances via ASEPSIS may enable earlier interventions and reduce postoperative morbidity.
