“…The higher risk of acquiring SSI among patients with malignant diseases compared to patients with benign diseases is reasonable since malignancy is associated with weak immune system and vulnerability to various infections, and it is consistent with studies reported that SSI was observed in 30-60% of patients after colorec tal cancer surgeries (5,(14)(15). The lack of association between SSI and timing of SAP is similar to another retrograde cohort study (28).…”

Background: Surgical site infections (SSIs) are common healthcare-associated infections and associated with prolonged hospital stays, additional financial burden, and significantly hamper the potential benefits of surgical interventions. Causes of SSIs are multi-factorials and patients undergoing gastrointestinal tract (GIT) procedures carry a high risk of bacterial contamination. This study aimed to determine the prevalence, associated factors, and causing microorganisms of SSIs among patients undergoing GIT surgeries.Methods: A hospital based, cross-sectional study conducted at Soba University Hospital (SUH) in Khartoum, Sudan. We included all patients from all age groups attending the GIT surgical unit at SUH between September-December 2017. We collected data about the socio-demographic characteristics, risk factors of SSI, and isolated microorganisms from patients with SSIs. Data analysis was done using the SPSS software version 20 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). A Chi-square test was conducted to determine the relationship between the independent categorical variables and the occurrence of SSI. The significance level for all analyses was set at p < .05.Results: A total of 80 participants were included in the study. The mean age was 51 +/- 16 years and most of the patients (67.5%) did not have any chronic illness prior to the surgical operation. Most of them (46.3%) of them underwent large bowel surgery. Twenty-two patients (27.5%) developed SSI post operatively and superficial SSI was the most common type of SSIs (81.8%). Occurrence of SSI was found to be associated with long operation time (p > .001), malignant nature of the disease (p > .001), intra-operative blood loss (p > .001), and intra-operative hypotension (p =.013). The most prevalent microorganism isolated from SSI patients was E coli (47.8%), followed by Enterococcus fecalis (13.0%) and combined Pseudomonas aeruginosa + E coli infection (13.0%).Conclusion: The results showed a high prevalence of SSIs among patients attending the GIT unit in SUH and the most prevalent microorganism isolated from them was E coli. Measures should be taken to reduce the magnitude of SSI by mitigating the identified associated factors.

“…Although there are global variations around the definition of an SSI, the European Commission classified SSIs into superficial incisional surgical site infection, deep incisional surgical site infection, or surgical site infection -organ/space, and the diagnostic criteria include the presence of one of the signs of infection (tenderness, swelling, reddening, and elevated skin temperature), purulent discharge from the incision site, and positive result of microbiological examination of material collected or after the surgical opening of the incision site [5,6].…”

“…A presença de neoplasia é fator de risco para ISC, e o tratamento do câncer acarreta risco alto de complicações perioperatórias aos pacientes com este diagnóstico (20 a 30% de complicações). A ISC pode ser observada de 30 a 60% dos pacientes submetidos a procedimentos cirúrgicos para ressecção de câncer gastrointestinal (BANASZKIEWICZ et al, 2017).…”
