Why the study?
Does a multidisciplinary colorectal SSI reduction bundle reduce surgical site infections in colorectal surgery patients?
Does a multidisciplinary colorectal SSI reduction bundle reduce surgical site infections in colorectal surgery patients?
A multidisciplinary SSI reduction bundle successfully achieved a sustained reduction in surgical site infections in colorectal surgery.
Supports colorectal SSI bundle adoption; leaves open need for randomized confirmation of causality and generalizability.
Using our ACS NSQIP colorectal SSI outcomes, a multidisciplinary team designed a colorectal SSI reduction bundle that resulted in a substantial and sustained reduction in SSIs. Our study is not able to identify which specific elements contributed to the reduction.
