AI Article Synopsis

  • Conducted a retrospective cohort study to explore risk factors for surgical site infections (SSI) in hip and knee arthroplasty patients at a high-volume orthopedic center.
  • Active smoking and revision surgeries were identified as significant risk factors for increased SSI rates.
  • Former smokers had a reduced risk of SSI, suggesting that smoking cessation programs could be beneficial for surgical patients.

Article Abstract

We performed a retrospective cohort study to identify risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI) in patients with hip and knee arthroplasty in a high-volume orthopedic center with low overall SSI rates. Active smoking and revision arthroplasty both increased the risk for SSI. Former smokers were seen to have a lower SSI risk, demonstrating a potential benefit in implementing mandated smoking secession programs.
