Predictors of intraoperative-acquired surgical wound infections.

TL;DR: Patients who had received perioperative antibiotics and who developed infections were frequently infected with organisms that were resistant to the peri operative drug regimen, compared with patients who had not received antibiotics.

Re-examining causes of surgical site infections following elective surgery in the era of asepsis
TL;DR: A path forward to reduce SSI rates after elective surgery is offered that includes undertaking genomic-based microbial tracking from the built environment, to the patient's own microbiome, and then to the surgical site, and it is posit that only by generating this dynamic microbial map can the true pathogenesis of SSIs be understood enough to inform novel preventive strategies against infection in the current era of asepsis.

Does the Centers for Disease Control's NNIS system risk index stratify patients undergoing cardiothoracic operations by their risk of surgical-site infection?
Marie Claude Roy,Loreen A. Herwaldt,Richard P. Embrey,Kristen Kuhns,Richard P. Wenzel,Trish M. Perl +5 more
TL;DR: The risk of SSI after cardiothoracic operations increases as the NNIS risk index score increases, however, this index only dichotomized the patient population on the basis of the procedure duration, and more research is needed to develop a risk index that adequately stratifies the population by risk ofSSI.

TL;DR: The incidence of SSI was higher than the incidence reported in other published studies, although they were within expected ranges when a surveillance system was implemented, and this incidence correlated with an increase in costs.

Current Evidence Regarding Routine Antibiotic Prophylaxis in Hand Surgery.
John C. Dunn,Austin Fares,Nicholas Kusnezov,Miguel Pirela-Cruz,Gilberto Gonzalez,Justin D. Orr,Mark Pallis +6 more
TL;DR: Surgical characteristics that would render prophylaxis unnecessary include those without hardware, those without reasonable risk of hematoma formation, or those performed at an ambulatory surgery center as opposed to a large hospital.
Postoperative infection in hand surgery: cause, prevention, and treatment
TL;DR: The pathogenesis of infections and the role of antibiotics, skin preparation, and surgical technique in the development and prevention of infection are reviewed.

The Epidemiology of Wound Infection: A 10-Year Prospective Study of 62,939 Wounds
Peter J. E. Cruse,Rosemary Foord +1 more
TL;DR: The authors consider the effects of the following factors on the rate of infection: length of preoperative stay, preparation of the patient for surgery, identification of patients at risk, surgical technique and choice of procedure, and acquainting staff with statistics of wound infection rates.

Gram-negative bacteremia: IV. Re-evaluation of clinical features and treatment in 612 patients
TL;DR: Age, underlying host disease, granulocytopenia, congestive heart failure, diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency, nosocomial infections, and antecedent treatment with antibiotics, corticosteroids, and antimetabolites significantly increased fatality rates.

The Role of Anesthesia in Surgical Mortality
TL;DR: The role of anesthesia in contributing to surgical mortality has been studied in 33,224 patients given either spinal anesthesia or a general anesthetic to which muscle relaxants were added, and when deaths were related to the use of muscle relaxant, errors of omission or commission were always apparent.

Identifying patients at high risk of surgical wound infection a simple multivariate index of patient susceptibility and wound contamination
Robert W. Haley,David H. Culver,W. Meade Morgan,John W. White,T.Grace Emori,Thomas M. Hooton +5 more
TL;DR: The authors used information collected on 58,498 patients undergoing operations in 1970 to develop a simple multivariate risk index and found that a subgroup, consisting of half the surgical patients, can be identified in whom 90% of the surgical wound infections will develop.
