To determine whether deep surgical site infection (dSSI) rate exhibits temporal variability, dSSI rates following 98,068 cases were analyzed. The overall dSSI rate decreased significantly between 2009 and 2018. Summer had a significantly greater rate of dSSI than winter. There was no difference in dSSI rate in July versus other months.

Risk Factors of Failure in 228 Periprosthetic Distal Femur Fractures: A Multicenter Study.
J Orthop Trauma
May 2024
University of California, Los Angeles, CA.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to identify risk factors for unplanned reoperations related to union promotion or deep surgical-site infections (DSSI) in patients with periprosthetic distal femur fractures treated with lateral distal femoral locking plates (LDFLPs).
- - Conducted across ten level-I trauma centers, the retrospective cohort study focused on patients diagnosed with specific fracture types between January 2012 and December 2019 while excluding those with pathological fractures or less than three months of follow-up.
- - Results showed an 8.3% reoperation rate for union promotion linked to factors like higher body mass index and more screws in the distal segment, while no significant factors were identified for DSSI-related reoperations.
Assistive diagnostic indicators for infections related to lumbar posterior interbody fusion internal fixation: platelet count and mean platelet volume.
J Orthop Surg Res
November 2023
Department of Spine Surgery, Honghui Hospital, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, 710054, Shaanxi, China.
Background: The most severe complication after posterior single-segment lumbar interbody fusion and internal fixation (PIFIF) surgery for degenerative lumbar diseases is deep surgical site infection (DSSI). Preoperatively diagnosing such complications proves to be challenging. Platelets, as acute-phase reactants, undergo changes in response to infections and inflammation.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Deep surgical site infections (dSSI) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are associated with morbidity and poor outcomes. Although numerous patient and non-patient factors have been correlated with dSSI development, the temporal and seasonal variability of dSSI is unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the monthly and seasonal variability of dSSI rates following TKA.

Int J Surg
April 2023
VINCat Program, Catalonia.
Article Synopsis
- Bundled interventions for colorectal surgery were analyzed in a nationwide study to determine their effectiveness in reducing surgical site infections (SSI) compared to a control group.
- The study involved 37,849 procedures, revealing that implementing the care bundle reduced overall SSI rates from 18.38% in the control group to 10.17% in the intervention group, showing a significant decrease in infection rates.
- Key components of the bundle, such as laparoscopy, oral antibiotic prophylaxis (OAP), and mechanical bowel preparation, were most effective in lowering both overall SSI and organ/space SSI, highlighting the importance of these practices for improving surgical outcomes.
Risk factors for deep surgical site infection following surgically treated peri-ankle fractures: a case-control study based on propensity score matching.
J Orthop Surg Res
December 2022
Department of Orthopaedic Trauma Center, The 3rd Hospital of Hebei Medical University, No 139 Ziqiang Road, Shijiazhuang, 050051, Hebei, People's Republic of China.
Aims: This study aims to identify the risk factors for deep surgical site infection (DSSI) following surgically treated peri-ankle fractures.
Methods: We performed a retrospective case-control study using the propensity score matching (PSM) method in 1:2 ratio, based on the 6 baseline variables, including age, gender, living area, insurance type, fracture location and surgical date. Data on patients who underwent surgical treatment of peri-ankle fractures were collected by inquiring their hospitalization medical records and operative records, as well as the laboratory reports.
