PurposeTo measure surgical site infection (SSI) rates among gastrointestinal surgeries and to identify the associated risk factors.Patients and methodsWe conducted a multicenter, retrospective, surveillance-based study of adults undergoing gastric, colon, and small bowel (SB) procedures from January to December 2016. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to determine the predictive variables in each surgery.ResultsIn total, 71 of 2,099 patients developed SSI – 0.8%, 19.8%, and 10.8% following gastric, colon, and SB surgeries, respectively. In gastric surgery, the risk factors identified by univariate analysis were age, duration, wound class, risk index, emergency, and scope use (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis revealed that the laparoscopic approach was the only significant predictor, with an inverse relationship of SSI rate vs open gastric surgery (P<0.05). Prolonged duration was a significant risk factor for developing SSI in colon surgery, and emergency was a significant risk for development of SSI in SB surgery. Gram-negative bacilli were the main causative pathogens, with a high percentage of multidrug-resistant organisms.ConclusionVariances in SSI rates and risk factors among gastric, colon, and SB surgery were detected. The use of an endoscope in gastric surgeries exhibited a protective effect against the development of SSI. The reduction of the SSI rate can be achieved by targeted preventive interventions for the identified risk factors.

“…In these cases, these institutions tend not to report what actually happens in terms of complications, or limit the findings to the immediate postoperative period. When monitoring is performed only during hospital stay, it does not provide reliable indicators and may lead to underreporting (26,(31)(32) .…”
Objective: to identify the main complications in the late postoperative period of surgical patients. Method: an integrative review from the CINAHL, LILACS, Science direct, Web of Science, SCOPUS, Europe PMC, and MEDLINE databases. Descriptors and keywords were combined without language or time restriction. Results: ten primary studies were included. Infectious complications were the most common, especially surgical site infection, pneumonia and urinary tract infection. The presence of complications was linked to increased mortality, need for reoperations and worse survival. Few studies report on monitoring frequency, follow-up time and/or when complications started to be observed. Conclusion: infectious complications were the most prevalent postoperatively. The scarcity of guidelines that guide the monitoring of complications regarding monitoring frequency, follow-up time and classification makes it difficult to establish an overview of them and consequently propose intervention strategies.
“…Un estudio que analizó métodos de vigilancia post-operatoria en dos hospitales de Sao Paulo (Brasil) encontró 80% de las ISQ diagnosticadas hasta el 14º día después del procedimiento 27 . En un hospital universitario italiano con tasa global de ISQ de 10,6%, el diagnóstico de estas infecciones ocurrió 11,5 días después del procedimiento 23 .…”

Patient readmission for surgical site infection: integrative reviewBackground: Surgical site infections (SSI) represent an inherent risk after surgical procedures associated both to the surgical procedure and to the patient clinical conditions. Aim: To analyze in an integrative review the studies related to patient readmission due to SSI. Material and Method: The review was carried out by LILACS, CINHAL, MEDLINE and COCHRANE databases and articles published from 1966 to 2010 were selected. Results: It was analyzed 13 studies classified as transversal (7), cohort (4) and longitudinal (2). Few studies analyzed only the readmissions related to the SSI. Time to define the readmission ranged from 28 to 90 days after surgery and studies related to orthopedic procedures were more frequent. The ISS readmission rates were lower than 5%. The main aetiological agents isolated from ISS were Staphylococcus aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci. Conclusion: Monitoring readmissions due to SSI could contribute to dimension the occurrence of ISS post-discharge, once about half of the SSI post-discharge was diagnosed at the readmission moment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
