Background. In Sudan, patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) presented lately in advanced stages. Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the most common complications of surgical treatment of OSCC which significantly affects the clinical outcomes. The present study aimed to assess the frequency and risk factors of postoperative surgical site infection among OSCC patients underwent surgery at Khartoum Teaching Dental Hospital (KTDH). Methods. This is a prospective, analytical, hospital-based study conducted at KTDH during the period from 2022 to 2023. Patients with OSCC were surgically treated and assessed carefully for the development of the SSI. Results. Sixty patients were enrolled in the present study. Twenty-nine (48.3%) patients were above 61 years, with the predominance of males with 42 (70%) patients. The most involved site of OSCC was the lower gingivolabial region in 35 (39.3%) patients. Forty-seven (78%) patients were in advanced stages III and IV. Forty-five (80%) patients had modified radical neck dissection. Blood transfusion was administered in 50 (83.3%) patients. Twenty-six (43.4%) patients developed SSI; 15 (57.7%) patients of them were Toombak dippers. Development of SSI was found to be significantly associated with the tumour site (P value 0.9), clinical stage (P value 0.6), the number of transfused blood units (P value 0.04), and the duration of hospital stay (P value 0.04). In contrast, use of sutures for wound closure was associated with a reduced risk of developing SSI (P value 0.005). Conclusion. Surgical site infection was found in 43.4% of the OSCC patients. It was associated with advanced clinical stage and tumour site. Minimizing the number of blood units transfused intraoperatively, we decrease the duration of hospital stay and the use of sutures for wound closure decreases the risk of SSI significantly.

“…Nowadays, about 722,000 patients yearly in the world are affected by a healthcare associated infection; among them, 10% of the infected patients eventually die [1]. About 40% of healthcare associated infections are caused by an improper hand hygiene among healthcare workers (hereinafter only workers), which clean their hands less than half of the time they should [2]. Thus, it becomes more and more important for the public safety the adoption of strategies to improve hand hygiene, so as to reduce the healthcare infection rates.…”

“…machine-based direct observation, it is required to have a system that can (1) monitor the compliance with hand hygiene procedure and also (2) provide a real-time feedback to the worker during the hand washing procedure, allowing workers to improve the gestures and then reduce the risk of infection for the patient. Among the most promising methods, video analytic has surely played a key role.…”

Hand washing preparation can be considered as one of the main strategies for reducing the risk of surgical site contamination and thus the infections risks. Within this context, in this paper we propose an embedded system able to automatically analyze, in real-time, the sequence of images acquired by a depth camera to evaluate the quality of the handwashing procedure. In particular, the designed system runs on an NVIDIA Jetson Nano$$^{{\mathrm{TM}}}$$ TM computing platform. We adopt a convolutional neural network, followed by a majority voting scheme, to classify the movement of the worker according to one of the ten gestures defined by the World Health Organization. To test the proposed system, we collect a dataset built by 74 different video sequences. The results achieved on this dataset confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
