Surgical Site Infections
Abstract
Ahmed M. Saleh
Surgical site infections are caused by bacteria that get in through incisions made during surgery. They threaten the lives of millions of patients each year and contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance. Surgical site infection (SSI) rates are used extensively by hospitals as a basis for quality improvement. A 30-day postdischarge SSI as per CDC definitions of SSI should be consider in order to have a valid data inside the hospital Surgical site infections are not just a problem for poor countries.
