Overview

Systematic investigation reveals high SSI rates in spinal surgery, indicating process failures related to training.

Key Points

  • Infections showed a significant increase to 7.1%, compared to a baseline of 0.3%, following spinal surgery.
  • The statistical test employed was the Fisher exact test, demonstrating critical differences between SSI-positive and negative groups.
  • Comprehensive MECE analysis identified novice technicians as a key factor in the outbreak, showing 100% involvement in SSI cases.
  • Infection control measures proved vulnerable despite historical success, highlighting the need for systematic investigations.
