Cesarean Section (CS) is one of the most frequently executed surgical procedures in gynecology and obstetrics. After a cesarean section, surgical site infection (SSI) increases hospital stay, lengthens maternal morbidity, and upsurges treatment costs. The current study determines the prevalence and risk factors for surgical site infection following cesarean section in China. A retrospective study was conducted on 23 cases of pregnant women who underwent cesarean section and incision severe infection and detection from March 2017 to January 2020 at Wuhan Maternal and Child Healthcare Hospital in China as the study group, and 20 cases of uninfected cesarean section during the same period were selected as the control group. Data were compared with the controls based on study variables and the presence of SSI. The mean age was 31±2.6. High fever and blood loss were observed in serous SSI-infected patients. The incidence rate of severe surgical site infection was 0.15 %. SSI was observed to be expected in pregnant women who had premature rupture of membrane before surgery (p < 0.001), who underwent postoperative antibiotic therapy (p < 0.001), and the patients who had gestational diabetes mellitus (p <0.001) and hematoma (p < 0.001) during surgery. Hence, following a cesarean section, surgical site infection is common. This research discovered several modifiable risk factors. SSI is associated with multifactorial rather than a single one. The development and strict implementation of a procedure by all health care practitioners can successfully reduce and prevent infection rates following cesarean section.

Abstract Background Surgical site infection (SSI) is one of the commonest complications following cesarean section (CS) with a reported incidence of 3–20%. SSI causes massive burdens on both the mother and the health care system. Moreover, it is associated with high maternal morbidity and mortality rate of up to 3%. This study aims to determine the incidence, risk factors and management of SSI following CS in a tertiary hospital. Methods This was an observational case control retrospective study which was conducted at Minia maternity university hospital, Egypt during the period from January 2013 to December 2017 (Five years). A total of 15,502 CSs were performed during the studied period, of these, 828 cases developed SSI following CS (SSI group). The control group included 1500 women underwent cesarean section without developing SSI. The medical records of both groups were reviewed regarding the sociodemographic and the clinical characteristics. Results The incidence of SSI post-cesarean section was 5.34%. Significant risk factors for SSI were; chorioamnionitis (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 4.51; 95% CI =3.12–6.18), premature rupture of membranes (PROM) (AOR 3.99; 95% CI =3.11–4.74), blood loss of > 1000 ml (AOR 2.21; 95% CI =1.62–3.09), emergency CS (AOR 2.16; 95% CI =1.61–2.51), duration of CS of > 1 h (AOR 2.12; 95% CI =1.67–2.79), no antenatal care (ANC) visits (AOR 2.05; 95% CI =1.66–2.37), duration of labor of ≥24 h (AOR 1.45; 95% CI =1.06–2.01), diabetes mellitus (DM) (AOR 1.37; 95% CI =1.02–2.1 3), obesity (AOR 1.34; 95% CI =0.95–1.84), high parity (AOR 1.27; 95% CI = 1.03–1.88), hypertension (AOR 1.19; 95% CI = 0.92–2.11) and gestational age of < 37 wks (AOR 1.12; 95% CI = 0.94–1.66). The mortality rate due to SSI was 1.33%. Conclusions The obtained incidence of SSI post CS in our study is relatively lower than other previous studies from developing countries. The development of SSI is associated with many factors rather than one factor. Management of SSI is maninly medical but surgical approach may be needed in some cases.

Site Assessment

Surgical site infection (SSI) is the second most normal irresistible inconvenience after urinary tract disease following cesarean section (CS). Surgical site infection after a cesarean area is related with expanded maternal horribleness, delayed emergency clinic remain and expanded clinical expenses. The hazard for creating SSI has noteworthily diminished over the three decades, fundamentally inferable from progress in cleanliness condition anti-infection prophylaxis, sterile methodology and other practice. Despite this decrease, the occurrence of surgical site infection is expected in the continuous rise in the incidence of cesarean delivery. A quantitative approach with descriptive study design was chosen to assess the risk factor of surgical site infection among mothers who underwent cesarean section at Saveetha Medical College Hospital. Sixty mothers who fulfil inclusive criteria were selected by purposive sampling technique. Sociodemographic variables were collected by semi-structured questionnaire, and the risk factors were assessed by surgical site assessment scale. The result of the study shows that 22(36.6%) of the mothers were obese, 34 (56.6%) were anaemia, 22 (36.6%) had hypertension, 7 (11.6%) had diabetes mellitus,37 (61.6%) were prolonged hospitalized, 9(15%) of study subject had previous surgery and 18 (30%) of study subject had emergency surgery. The surgical site assessment scale reveals that 31(51.6%) comes under the no-risk category,29(48.3 %) comes under the risk among preoperative mothers, and 22(36.6%) comes under no risk, 38 (63.3 %) comes under risk among post-operative mothers who underwent cesarean section. Thus the factors such as anaemia, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, prolonged hospital stay, previous surgery, and emergency surgery increase the risk for surgical site infection among mothers who underwent cesarean section.

Background: Clinical pathway recommend the use of short-term prophylaxis antibiotics for cesarean section. Long-term antibiotics or multiple doses was found in clinical practice. There are differences in the mode of administration and the number of doses administered at sardjito hospital.Objective: To determine the effectiveness of short-term antibiotic prophylaxis in cesarean section appropriate to clinical pathway in the prevention of surgical site infection (ssi), the incidence of fever, dysuria events, length of stay.Method: The study used randomized clinical trial. The study subjects who underwent cesarean section and meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria in the period July 2013 to January 2014 divided into an intervention group (n = 52) who received ampicillin 2 gram pre and post-cesarean section, and a control group (n = 54) who received ampicillin 2 gram pre cesarean section and 1 gram every 8 hours for 6 times. Observed on days 3 and 10 post-cesarean section. The primary outcomes assessed were the incidence of surgical wound infection based on the criteria of surgical site infection from Centers for Disease Controland Prevention. Secondary outcomes assessed were the incidence of fever, dysuria events, length of stay. Homogeneity analysis were conducted on subject. Outcome analysis performed bivariate with t test and chi squared test.Results and Discussion : A total of 106 subjects can be analyzed. SSI events in the intervention group at day 3 was 3.8% (n = 52) and control group was 1.84% (n = 54) with p>0.05 RR 2.077 (95% CI 0.194 to 22.219). SSI on day 10 of 7.7% (n = 52) in the intervention group versus 9.3% (n = 54) in controls with p<0.05 RR 0.831 (CI 95%, 0.236 to 2.924). Fever events on day 3 by 5.8% in the intervention group versus 3.7% incontrols with p>0.05 RR 1.558 (95% CI 0.271 to 8.948) and on day 10 was 3.8% versus 3.7 % with p>0.05 RR 1.038 (95% CI 0.152 to 7.102). Dysuria not found on day 3 and but on 10 found 5.8% in the intervention group versus 11.1% with p>0.05 RR 0.519 (IK95% 0.137 to 1.968). Length of stay after cesarean section for 3.21 ± 0.412 days in the intervention group and 3.26 ± 0.442 days in the control group with p>0.05 (95% CI -0.213 - 0.117).Conclusion: There is no significant difference in the incidence of surgical wound infections, the incidence of fever, dysuria, length of stay between short-term prophylaxis antibiotics ampicillin appropriate to clinical pathway and long-term or multiple doses prophylaxis antibiotics. Short term antibiotics prophylaxis are more efficiently with the same effectiveness in preventing outcomes research.Keywords: prophylaxis antibiotics, ampicillin, short term regimen, long term regimen, cesarean section, surgical site infection.

Aim: To rule out incidence and risk factors that are associated with infection at site of surgery after cesarean section. Method: A type of retrospective study was conducted on 100 women who underwent cesarean delivery procedures within a period of 8 month from September 2020 to April 2021 and presented in surgical emergency at Mayo Hospital Lahore. The socioeconomic, demographic and clinical parameters of patients were collected by a questionnaire form. A program known as SPSS version 20 was used for analysis of data that is collected in study. Result: After analyzing the data following factors are identified that causes surgical site infection: Higher BMI (more than 30kg/m2), loss of blood during cesarean section(more than 500mL), poor hygienic care after cesarean section, poor socioeconomic status leads to malnutrition of patient and that leads to poor wound healing and surgical site infection. Lack of education is also a key factor in SSIs. Cesarean done in emergency under improper aseptic conditions also promote SSIs. All these factors are associated with incidence of SSI. Conclusion: SSIS are conventional among women presented in surgical emergency of Mayo Hospital Lahore within 30 days of cesarean section. Management of risk factors causing SSIs in women after cesarean section may decrease the incidence of such infections. Keywords: Cesarean section, risk factors, infection at surgery site.

Background: According to the CDC NHSN, surgical site infections (SSI) are wound infections that develop within 30 days postoperatively for nonimplanted surgeries such as cesarean sections. SSIs is shown to manifest in a continuum of a purulent discharge from surgical site to severe sepsis. It contributes to rising morbidity, mortality and prolonged length of stay. Objective: To describe risk factors to the development of SSI in cesarean section in descriptive studies. Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) reporting guidelines is used as method for this systematic review. A PubMed literature search was conducted, limited to published articles in English from 1998 to 2016 using the broad key terms “cesarean section,” “surgical site infection,” and “risk factor.” The following inclusion criteria were applied to all reviews: (1) peer-reviewed journal, (2) computed risk factor for SSI development, and (3) calculated SSI rate. Reviews of references of the include studies were conducted, and 7 studies were appraised, with only 1 accepted. Results: After extracting data from 52 article reviews, 23 were finally accepted based on the inclusion criteria. Most studies were multivariate studies (n = 8) followed by cohort studies (n = 6). Unique numerators and denominators for SSI reviews were mentioned in all 23 studies, of which 22 studies followed the CDC NHSN definitions for SSI. Within the 23 studies, most studies showed that obesity (11.46%) is a common maternal risk factor for the development of postoperative cesarean section SSI. Conclusions: Identifying that obesity is a major contributor of surgical site infection in postoperative cesarean section women is a topic that warrants exploration. The relationship of cesarean section SSI to obesity should be investigated, specifically highlighting the level of obesity based on the WHO international body mass index (BMI) classification and the development of SSI. A correlation between increasing wound infection rates and increasing body mass index should be studied further. Published recommendations for preventing SSIs in this population should be reviewed.Funding: NoneDisclosures: None

Abstract Introduction: Surgical site infection is a common complication after orthopaedic surgery. It can be associated with increased morbidity rate and social cost. The accurate identification of risk factors is essential so that strategies to prevent these potentially devastating infections can be developed. We have conducted this study to determine the possible risk factors for the surgical site infections. Objectives: We aimed at finding exhaustive evidence concerning the potential risk factors for infections in orthopaedic surgery. Patients and Methods: Between October 2009 and December 2011, we identified 84 patients with a superficial and/or deep surgical site infection and compared them with 203 uninfected patients (control group), taken out from a series of 486 patients. We considered the following risk factors: diabetes, BMI >30, ASA Score of 3 or 4, smoking and age. Results: The most frequently performed operations of the 287 examined patients were the knee and hip arthroplasties (n = 32, 11.14%) and open fracture reductions (n = 178, 62.02%). Staphylococcus Aureus was the most common identified pathogen (n = 63, 75%). The analyses (preoperative and postoperative) of the infected patients showed them to have significantly high serum glucose levels in comparison with the control group (odds ratio = 8.7). We found a significant high rate of infection in patients smoking for more than 20 years (67 patients, 79.7%). The remaining variables (BMI, OR = 2.21; ASA score, OR = 1.3) showed no significant differences between the study group and controls. We also found a correlation between > 65-year-old patients and infections at the surgical site (61 patients, 72.6%). Conclusion: We found that there was correlation between diabetes, smoking and age as risk factors with the development of infection at the surgical site; other variables such as the ASA score and BMI are not relevant here (contrary to what is reported in literature). We believe that postoperative results can be improved considerably with a properly conducted antibiotic treatment, stringent glycemic control (achievable only with careful multidisciplinary management) and good compliance of patients.
