Surgical Site Infection Risk Factors
Surgical Site Infection Risk FactorsThe 27 million US patients who undergo surgery each year face a 2-3% infection rate. This means up to 675,000 patients will develop an SSI. SSIs are the most common hospital-acquired infection among surgical patients.1 Programs that reduce the incidence of SSI can substantially decrease morbidity and mortality and reduce the economic burden for patients and hospitals.2 Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus--MRSA infections make up 50% of all healthcare-associated infections.3 MRSA infections are elevating mortality rates and causing economic burdens on the healthcare system.4 2236% rise in MRSA-related deaths in just over a decade.5 ETHICON provides products including Plus Antibacterial sutures; DERMABOND Topical Skin Adhesive, and Ethiguard Suture needles that help address many of the risk factors that can lead to Surgical Site Infection. |
