- Abstract
Objective: To analyze the occurrence and risk factors for surgical site infection in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study with 93 patients undergoing elective and clean orthopedic surgery. Results: The surgical site infection was diagnosed in 16 patients (17.2%). In data analysis, after adjusting the binary logistic regression model, only the variable total time of hospitalization was statistically significant with respect to the presence or absence of infection. Conclusion: The occurrence of surgical site infection in orthopedic surgery was higher, with 75% of cases diagnosed after hospital discharge, this result reinforces the need for post-discharge surveillance.
