Impact of Surveillance Technique on Reported Rates of Surgical Site Infection
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 February 2015
Abstract
Surgical site infection (SSI) surveillance methods vary among infection preventionists. An online survey regarding SSI surveillance technique was administered to infection preventionists and linked to superficial and complex colon SSI rates. Higher superficial but not complex SSI rates were reported when more SSI surveillance techniques were used (P <.0001).
