What are the risk factors for surgical site infection in women undergoing gynecological surgery?
Overweight status and anemia are associated with an increased risk of surgical site infection following gynecological surgery.
Overweight status and anemia were associated with higher SSI rates after gynecological surgery; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective confirmation before changing practice.
Aim and objective: To evaluate the risk factors for surgical site infection in patients undergoing surgery in the gynecology department. Materials and methods: This observational study was conducted among 200 women admitted for gynecological surgery. A detailed history and demographic and surgical details were noted. The recovery of these patients and the presence of surgical site infection (SSI) were also noted. Results: Of the 200 participants, 21% developed SSI and 38% of overweight women and 24% women with anemia developed SSI. Mean duration of hospital stay was more in women with SSI.
