Abstract: A simple clinical score based on four preoperative variables was clinically useful in predicting the risk of SSI in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.

“…This association has often been described in the colorectal surgery population [21, 34, 35], and it also favours other risk factors for SSI like the hyperglycaemia or hypothermia [33]. Given the capacity of this parameter to predict SSI, it was included as one of the components of the NNIS risk index.…”

“…In the literature, the SSI rates in colon surgery varied from 3.5 to 21.3%, and are pointed as the largest SSI rates among elective procedures (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) . But diagnosing SSI only during hospital stay has not provided actual rates, which may underestimate the real values, as shown in a national study that notified 75% of SSI during post-discharge surveillance (10) .…”

“…For the factors related to the surgical procedure, the most prevalent were: long surgeries (time > 240 min), surgery classification according to the potential for contamination and open surgical approach (5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10) .…”

“…This was thought to be appropriate, although the relative contribution of each identified factor to the overall model was not equal because of the relatively qualitative nature of the proposed scoring system. Furthermore, such a system needs to be user-friendly to be clinically relevant [16][17][18].…”

“…A value of 0.5 corresponds to a score with no predictive power (predictive ability equals chance), and a value of 1.0 corresponds to a score with perfect discrimination. Values of 0.7 and higher are considered clinically useful [17]. All statistical analyses were carried out using SPSS, version 17.0 (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) for Windows.…”
