English
Authors' objectives:
According to guidelines prepared by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 38% of all infections contracted in hospitals are surgical site infections, which are the third most common cause of hospital-acquired infections. Despite improvements in infection control practices, surgical site infections remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, and the average hospital length of stay is increased by 1 to 2 weeks in patients who contract surgical site infections.
