What are the incidence and risk factors for surgical site infections following gynaecological surgeries?
Surgical site infections complicate approximately 10% of gynaecological surgeries and are associated with risk factors including BMI, diabetes, severe anaemia, and surgical approach.
Naphade et al. (2017) conducted a cohort in Surgical site infections following gynaecological surgeries. Risk factors (BMI, diabetes, severe anaemia, open abdominal approach, etc.) vs. Age-adjusted control group of non-infected patients was evaluated on Incidence of surgical site infection (SSI). Risk factors including BMI, diabetes, severe anaemia, and open abdominal approach were significantly associated with surgical site infections, which occurred in 10.35% of gynaecological surgeries.
