Article Abstract
Objectives: To assess incidence rates of surgical site infections (SSI) by MRSA and to determine related factors and clinical outcome compared to MSSA, including country-specific, institutional and patient determinants.
Patients And Methods: We performed a subgroup analysis of the Europe-wide SALT (NCT03353532) study population with MRSA SSI from 14 centres in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK.
Results: An overall MRSA SSI incidence of 0.06% ( = 104) was found in 178 903 patients undergoing invasive surgery in 2016. Frequently observed comorbidities were chronic cardiovascular disease, diabetes and solid tumours. Compared to the overall MRSA SSI incidence, incidence rates were significantly higher in Spain (58 of 67 934 cases) and lower in Germany (16 of 46 443 cases; both < 0.05). Centres with antibiotic stewardship (ABS) and infectious disease (ID) consultation programmes ( = 3/14) had lower MRSA rates (17 of 43 556 cases versus 61 of 83 048 cases, < 0.05). In bivariate analyses, MRSA SSI patients were significantly older, had higher BMI and more comorbidities compared to MSSA (< 0.05 each). Surgery performed between 6:00 and 12:00 pm led to higher MRSA proportions among SSI (17 of 104 cases versus 62 of 640 cases, < 0.05).
Conclusions: This study shows low overall and country-specific incidence rates of MRSA SSI in Europe. We could show significant differences between countries as well as between centres with established ABS and ID consultation programmes were observed. The number of those programmes seems too small against this background.

Factors Affecting Readmission in Patients with Surgical Site Infection: A Graphical and Prediction Model-Based Approach.
Surg Infect (Larchmt)

Department of Pharmacy Practice, Manipal College of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Manipal, Karnataka, India.
Antimicrobial therapy is becoming less effective because of the rising microbial resistance. Surgical site infections (SSI) are one of the major complications that require modifications in the infection control policy for effective management. To develop a model for predicting the readmission rates post-SSI treatment and to identify prevalent microbial isolates and the respective trends in resistance patterns.

- * In a multicenter study involving 6,740 patients, a 16.5% incidence of SSIs was observed, with the majority being superficial, and many cases detected after hospital discharge; key risk factors included the type of surgical approach and operation duration.
- * The main pathogens identified were Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with significant rates of antibiotic resistance noted, indicating a need for improved preventive measures to reduce complications post-surgery.

Introduction Laminar flow (LF) in theatres has become the standard of care in orthopaedic implant surgery. Most of the evidence for laminar flow use is based on arthroplasty surgery, with early studies showing a significant reduction in infections. We conducted a retrospective comparative study to assess surgical site infection (SSI) rates in consecutive patients undergoing surgery for trauma in LF and non-laminar flow (NLF) theatres.

Department of Orthopedics, Taizhou Hospital of Zhejiang Province affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University, Taizhou, Zhejiang, China.
Purpose: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to explore the effect of topical vancomycin powder (VP) in surgical site infection (SSI) prevention and adverse events after joint arthroplasty and to provide a specific theoretical basis for clinical treatment.
Methods: The review process was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines. Two independent researchers meticulously screened the literature based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, evaluated the quality of the selected studies, and extracted relevant data.
Correlation between carriers of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and the incidence of MRSA surgical site infections in orthopedic surgery patients.

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Hasanuddin University, Makassar, Indonesia.
Objective: Surgical site infection (SSI) is a devastating complication in orthopedic surgery. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a notorious organism in SSI, especially in orthopedic patients. We aimed to understand the association between MRSA carriers and the rate of SSI caused by MRSA in orthopedic patients.
