A total of 5,628 neurosurgical patients were observed in France to assess the occurrence of surgical site infection (SSI). Their risk of SSI was defined by calculating both the US National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance and the Brest National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance risk indexes. This study compares SSI rates stratified according to either the US or Brest (France) National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance risk index. The SSI rates were correlated with National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance data involving only local operation durations.

Objectives.To describe how continuous validation of data on surgical site infection (SSI) is being performed in the Dutch National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System (Preventie Ziekenhuisinfecties door Surveillance [PREZIES]), to assess the quality and accuracy of the PREZIES data, and to present the corresponding outcomes of the assessment.Design.Mandatory, 1-day on-site validation visit to participating hospitals every 3 years. The process of surveillance, including the quality of the method of data collection, is validated by means of a structured interview. The use of SSI criteria is validated by review of medical records, with the judgment of the validation team as the criterion standard.Setting.Hospitals participating in PREZIES.Results.During 1999-2004, the validation team visited 40 hospitals and reviewed 859 medical charts. There was no deviation between reports of SSI by infection control professionals and findings by the PREZIES validation team at 30 hospitals and 1 deviation in each of 10 hospitals; the positive predictive value was 0.97, and the negative predictive value was 0.99. The validation team often gave advice to the hospital, aimed at perfecting the process of surveillance. On 2 occasions, data were removed from the PREZIES database after the validation visit revealed deviations from the SSI surveillance protocol that could have resulted in nonrepresentative SSI rate data.Conclusions.PREZIES is confident that the assembled Dutch SSI surveillance data are reliable and robust and are sufficiently accurate to be used as a reference for interhospital comparison. PREZIES will continue performing on-site validation visits, to improve the process of surveillance and ensure the reliability of the surveillance data.

A atual caracterização de infecção do sítio cirúrgico em incisional superficial, incisional profunda e órgão cavidade, em substituição à tradicional definição de "infecção de ferida operatória", associada a estratificação dos pacientes em grupos de risco de infecção cirúrgica de acordo com a metodologia NNISS (National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance System), permitiram a obtenção de taxas de infecção mais fidedignas e estudos comparativos entre instituições diferentes. Baseado nessa metodologia, o presente trabalho analisa prospectivamente 2.149 pacientes operados no Serviço de Cirurgia do Hospital Geral César Cals (HGCC)-CE, estratificados pelo IRIC (Índice de Risco de Infecção Cirúrgica) e comprova diferenças estatisticamente significativas nas taxas de infecção de sítio cirúrgico para os grupos de IRIC 0, 1,2 e 3, respectivamente de 3,2%, 7,4%, 16,6% e 20,9%. As infecções de maior gravidade ocorrem em pacientes com IRIC 3 e a vigilância pós-alta é importante, na medida em que muitas infecções somente serão diagnosticadas após a alta hospitalar.
