“…Unlike us, our Swiss colleagues showed a decreasing incidence of SSIs due to SA during 2004-2014 despite the increase in invasive MSSA infections, which might have been related to their national prevention activities. 8 They did not differentiate deep and organ-space infections, and they included all types of surgery. Staphylococcus aureus was responsible for 39% of microbiologically confirmed deep SSIs.…”

“…Le pourcentage d'isolats de S. aureus qui étaient des SARM dans cette étude (14 % à 15 %) (tableau 5 et tableau 6) était légèrement plus élevé que ce qui a été signalé dans un réseau de surveillance suisse où 8 % des cas de SARM de S. aureus étaient des SARM en 2010-2015 (30). Des taux plus élevés de SARM ont été signalés ailleurs, notamment dans plusieurs centres d'Amérique latine où la résistance moyenne était de 44,7 % en 2017 (31).…”

“…One example is the investigation of surgical site infections (SSI). They are frequent hospital acquired complications [1][2][3] andprolong hospitalization, increase treatment costs, and are associated with poor outcome [4]. Ongoing clinical trials and surveillance programs evaluate the incidence of SSI worldwide on a national or regional basis in a limited number of procedures [1,[5][6][7][8][9].…”

Background The use of routine data will be essential in future healthcare research. Therefore, harmonizing procedure codes is a first step to facilitate this approach as international research endeavour. An example for the use of routine data on a large scope is the investigation of surgical site infections (SSI). Ongoing surveillance programs evaluate the incidence of SSI on a national or regional basis in a limited number of procedures. For example, analyses by the European Centre for Disease Prevention (ECDC) nine procedures and provides a mapping table for two coding systems (ICD9, National Healthcare Safety Network [NHSN]). However, indicator procedures do not reliably depict overall SSI epidemiology. Thus, a broader analysis of all surgical procedures is desirable. The need for manual translation of country specific procedures codes, however, impedes the use of routine data for such an analysis on an international level. This project aimed to create an international surgical procedure coding systems allowing for automatic translation and categorization of procedures documented in country-specific codes. Methods We included the existing surgical procedure coding systems of five European countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom [UK]). In an iterative process, country specific codes were grouped in ever more categories until each group represented a coherent unit based on method of surgery, interventions performed, extent and site of the surgical procedure. Next two ID specialist (arbitrated by a third in case of disagreement) independently assigned country-specific codes to the resulting categories. Finally, specialist from each surgical discipline reviewed these assignments for their respective field. Results A total number of 153 SALT (Staphylococcus aureus Surgical Site Infection Multinational Epidemiology in Europe) codes from 10 specialties were assigned to 15,432 surgical procedures. Almost 4000 (26%) procedure codes from the SALT coding system were classified as orthopaedic and trauma surgeries, thus this medical field represents the most diverse group within the SALT coding system, followed by abdominal surgical procedures with 2390 (15%) procedure codes. Conclusion Mapping country-specific codes procedure codes onto to a limited number of coherent, internally and externally validated codes proofed feasible. The resultant SALT procedure code gives the opportunity to harmonize big data sets containing surgical procedures from international centres, and may simplify comparability of future international trial findings. Trial registration The study was registered at clinicaltrials.gov under NCT03353532 on November 27th, 2017.
