Various interventions have been explored in research for the prevention of SSIs. However, these measures have not been standardized and multipronged combined interventions are seldom used, especially ...

Surgical site infections (SSIs) after intracranial neurosurgical procedures derive from both endogenous and exogenous factors and are associated with increased morbidity, mortality and additional soci...

A multidisciplinary team tackled low compliance in preoperative bathing, showing that standardization—not product choice—drives surgical site infection prevention and patient safety outcomes.

We conducted a meta-analysis to determine the risk of infection following hip replacement and identified risk factors for surgical site infection.

As surgical procedures shift increasingly to ambulatory care settings, preventing surgical site infections is more critical than ever to protect patients and reduce avoidable costs.

This scoping review was undertaken to identify risk predictions models and preoperative predictors of surgical site infection (SSI) in adult cardiac surgery. A particular focus was on the identification of novel predictors that could underpin the future development of a risk prediction model to identify individuals at high-risk of SSI, and therefore guide a national SSI prevention strategy.
