Why the study?
Do new risk models improve predictive performance for surgical site infection compared with traditional NHSN risk index stratification?
Do new risk models improve predictive performance for surgical site infection compared with traditional NHSN risk index stratification?
New risk models using existing NHSN data elements offer improved predictive performance for surgical site infections over traditional stratification.
May enhance SSI surveillance with routine data; leaves open prospective validation and outcome impact.
A set of new risk models developed using existing data elements collected through the NHSN improves predictive performance, compared with the traditional NHSN risk index stratification.
