Determining the Worldwide Epidemiology of Surgical Site Infections After Gastrointestinal Surgery

University of Edinburgh·observational·Posted Jan 25, 2016·Updated May 22, 2024

In Brief

An observational study evaluating Emergency, or elective gastrointestinal resection for Surgical Wound Infection. Completed, enrolled 12,539 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

Surgical site infection (SSI) is the most common complication following major gastrointestinal surgery, affecting between 25-40% of patients. The rate of SSI doubles from low-income to high-income settings, persisting after risk adjustment. Investigating the diagnosis and treatment of SSIs remains a largely unaddressed global health priority. The impact of antibiotic resistant organisms and the effectiveness of antibiotic prophylaxis are unknown. This study aims to determine SSI rates following gastrointestinal surgery across worldwide hospital settings.
