Abstract

Background: This study aimed to investigate the situation of surgical site infections and associated factors in surgical departments of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital in 2023. Objectives: To assess the prevalence of surgical site infections and factors associated with the risk of such infections. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted by reviewing medical records of 475 patients aged 18 and above who underwent surgery and were under postoperative care within 48 hours after surgery in surgical departments of Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023. Results: The overall rate of surgical site infections was 1.5%. The highest rate of surgical site infections was observed in the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery (71.4%), followed by Orthopedics and Thoracic Trauma Department (28.6%), while the Department of Urology and Neurosurgery had no cases of surgical site infections. The majority of surgeries at Hue University Hospital in 2023 were clean or clean-contaminated. The rate of surgical site infections was low for clean surgeries (1.5%) and clean-contaminated surgeries (1%). The rate of surgical site infections increased for contaminated surgeries (7.7%). The patient's preoperative infection increases the risk of surgical wound infection. Conclusion: The overall rate of surgical site infections was 1.5%. The identified factor associated with surgical site infections was the preoperative infection of patients.
