Abstract:
Objective To understand the occurrence and risk factors for surgical site infections (SSIs)following appendectomy,so as to provide reference for taking effective prevention measures.Methods Through monitoring on surgical site,SSIs in patients undergoing appendectomy in a hospital from July 1 ,2011 to July 1 ,2013 were inves-tigated.Results A total of 817 appendectomy surgery patients were investigated,37 (4.53%)of whom had SSIs, 36 of which were superficial wound infection,and 1 was deep wound infection.Univariate analysis showed that SSIs were related with duration of operation,anesthesia mode,ASA score,blood sugar,whether perioperative antimi-crobials were used,and operative risk index score(all P <0.05 ).Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that blood sugar (OR 95% CI :1 .07-4.72),whether perioperative antimicrobials were used(OR 95% CI :1 .14-7.10),and risk index score (OR 95% CI :5.90-43.28)were independent risk factors for SSIs following appendec-tomy (all P <0.05).Conclusion Surgical site monitoring is helpful for the understanding of SSIs following appen-dectomy;proper intervention measures should be adopted in clinic to prevent SSIs following appendectomy.
