11 Risk factors for the development of postoperative infections 1. Age and (*) associate derangements of physiologic functions 2. Type of surgical procedure (surgical trauma severity) 3. (*) Quality of surgical technique 4. Operative field contamination 5. Emergency surgical procedure 6. (*) Inadequate antibiotic prophylaxis 7. (*) Blood loss and transfusions 8. (*) Malnutrition/obesity 9. (*) Preexisting infection 10. (*) Current disease: a) Diabetes b) Renal failure c) Cirrhosis d) Cardiac disease e) Chronic pulmonary disease f) shock 11. (*) Length of preop. hospital stay 12. Immunosuppressive therapy 13. (*) Prolonged corticosteroid therapy 14. Inoperable malignancy 15. (*) Invasive devices 16. (*) Quality of pre- and post-operative care * Modifiable factors

15 Surgical Site Infection (SSI) - Cost SSIs result in: Increased morbidity Prolonged hospitalization Socio-economic cost

16 Duration of SSI From day of clinical diagnosis until day of clinical resolution Di Leo A. et al Mean duration of SSI Superficial incisional: 7 days Deep incisional: 10 days Organ / Space: 14 days (or > if re-operation)

17 SSI Classification CDC (Horan TC: Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol, 1992) Treatment Cost Superficial Incisional SSIs local wound care low

18 Cost analysis of superficial SSI in Varese Excess in-hospital lenght of stay: 2 days Added hospital costs: 1,000 Euro (500 Euro/day) About 5 additional wound care procedures Cost of extra wound care: 50 Euro (10 Euro/each) Antibiotic therapy (7 days): 10 Euro Total added costs: 1,060 Euro

19 SSI Classification CDC (Horan TC: Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol, 1992) Treatment Deep Incisional SSIs prol. hospital stay additional procedures antibiotic high Cost moderate

20 Cost analysis of deep SSI Cost of re-do surgery: about 3,000 Euro Excess in-hospital lenght of stay: 5 days Added hospital costs: 2,500 Euro (500 Euro/day) About 15 additional wound care procedures Cost of extra wound care : 150 Euro (10 Euro/each) Antibiotic therapy (10 days): 400 Euro Total added cost: 6,050 Euro

21 SSI Classification CDC (Horan TC: Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol, 1992) Treatment Organ or Space infections systemic, local ICU hosp. stay Cost (mortality) high

22 Cost analysis of chronic organ/space SSI

26 Cost analysis of chronic organ/space SSI Cost of re-do surgery: about 3,000 Euro Extra in-hospital lenght of stay: 10 days Added hospital costs: 5,000 Euro (500 Euro/day) About 50 additional wound care procedures Cost of extra wound care : 500 Euro (10 Euro/each) Antibiotic therapy (15 days): 820 Euro Total added cost: 9,320 Euro

27 Surgical Site Infection (SSI) - Epidemiology SSI rate differs from one country to another according to the system employed for control of hospital infections SSI rate ranges between 3% and 20% depending on hospital, patient clinical conditions and type of procedure

28 Surgical Site Infection (SSI) in Italy About 3,000,000 (in-patients) surgical procedures per year in Italy About 5% of all surgeries (150,000/year) generate SSI in Italy

29 KIR-NOS Study Group Torino Molinette Mauriziano Biella Ospedale Degli Infermi Borgomanero (NO) Ospedale SS Trinità Incidence Study 1 April - 30 June 2002 Follow-up 30 days (visit or phone call and questionnaire at discharge) 3066 surgeries

35 Infection surveillance Information concerning factors and procedures associated with increased risk of SSI Stratification of SSI rates according to risk factors Comparison of SSI rates intra- and inter- Institutions

36 SSI / NNIS Index Appropriately stratifies groups of risk when applied to global analysis of surgical procedures

37 SSI / NNIS Index - LIMITATIONS Incisional and Organ/Space SSIs are not separated Overall SSI rate (Incisional and Organ/Space) can be misleading in terms of clinical relevance
