Overview

Pilot study identifies SSI incidence and antimicrobial resistance in surgical patients at a hospital, highlighting critical risk factors.

Key Points

  • The study found a 7% incidence rate of surgical site infections (SSIs) in 148 patients, with highest rates in orthopaedics.
  • Among the identified risk factors, high intraoperative blood loss and dirty wounds were significant contributors to SSI occurrence.
  • A notable 55% of SSIs developed after patient discharge, suggesting the need for enhanced post-operative care and surveillance.
  • Microbial analysis revealed a high presence of multi-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative bacteria, indicating serious antimicrobial resistance concerns.
