Key result
Surgical site infections complicate 13% of caesareans, linked to missing antibiotics and higher ASA class.
Observational (n=1,504)
Random sampling
No
The incidence of surgical site infection following caesarean section was 13%, significantly associated with hospital stay, wound class, ASA class, antibiotic prophylaxis, and type of caesarean.

May inform SSI risk stratification after caesarean; leaves open whether targeting factors reduces incidence in trials.
Background: Objective of the study was to find SSI rate following Caesarean section and Analysis of risk factors.Methods: This prospective randomized study carried out on 1504 patients, their demographic information, risk factors and surgical indications were recorded. Postoperatively patients were monitored for signs of SSI.Results: Out of 1504 patients, 13% developed SSI, Hospital stay, wound class, ASA class, antibiotic prophylaxis and Type of caesarean showed significant association with SSI.Conclusions: Reason for incidence of SSI higher than developed countries being only tertiary care hospital dealing with high risk pregnancies, late referrals from peripheries, Prolonged hospital stay, heavy rush of attendants, faulty supervision where dose of antibiotics is actually missed, no proper segregation of cases.

Haq et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Caesarean section (n=1,504). Risk factors (wound class, ASA class, antibiotic prophylaxis, hospital stay) was evaluated on Surgical Site Infection (SSI).
