Article Synopsis
- Surgical site infections (SSIs) are the most common type of healthcare-associated infections, leading to higher mortality, longer hospital stays, and increased healthcare costs, making them a significant issue in patient care.
- The study aimed to identify risk factors for SSIs in patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery by analyzing patient data and developing predictive models to assist clinicians preoperatively.
- Out of 3,018 patients studied, 5% developed SSIs, with identified risk factors including age, gender, diabetes history, surgical site, NRS 2002 scores, and certain preoperative medical test results, using statistical analysis and nomograms for prediction.
